Does splunk Enterprise support Debian distribution?

Folks,

Please clarify if my understanding is correct or not.

We can see current system requirement of linux kernel version at below link.

https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/Systemrequirements

From this page, my understanding is splunk officially support "ANY" linux distribution that uses supported kernel version. So if I use Debian10 with kernel 5.4 or 4.x, I can use UF on that environment. Am I right?

Hi @kyoshiike,

yes: you can install both Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Universal Forwarder on any Linux distribution using kernel 4.x or 5.x.

In my experience, I used both the above products on all the Linux distributions and I found some problem only on AIX.

Ciao.

Giuseppe
