Where did the download links for wget go on splunk.com?!

awurster — Mon, 15 Jun 2020 18:03:45 GMT

i used to be given nice auto-generated links to wget the splunk binaries. for example:

wget -O splunk-6.2.1-245427-linux-2.6-amd64.deb 'http://www.splunk.com/page/download_track?file=6.2.1/splunk/linux/splunk-6.2.1-245427-linux-2.6-amd64.deb&ac=test_modal_enterprise&wget=true&name=wget&platform=Linux&architecture=x86_64&version=6.2.1&product=splunk&typed=release'

now i can't... where'd they go?!

I am on my phone at the moment but the last time I downloaded from the splunk web dowload portal less than 15 days ago, the wget link was still there in a box at the upper right-hand region of the page once I got to the final download page. Under a heading something like "Got wget?"

this feature was missed in the migration of our corporate website this past weekend, we're very sorry! we'll be getting it back, but in the meantime, these are the permanent url formatsyou can use to wget the files:

http://download.splunk.com/releases/<version>/splunk/
http://download.splunk.com/releases/<version>/universalforwarder/

These are both 404 for me now, even using single slashes throughout.

This worked for me today. Note that I chose the 6.1 release, you can change that if desired.

 wget -O splunkd61.rpm 'http://www.splunk.com/page/download_track?file=6.1.6/splunk/linux/splunk-6.1.6-249101-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm&platform=Linux&architecture=x86_64&version=6.1.6&product=splunk&wget=true&typed=release&name=linux_installer'

Here is what I used to get the latest Linux 64-bit Universal Forwarder. Hope this helps. 

 wget -O splunkforwarder-6.2.1-245427-Linux-x86_64.tgz 'http://www.splunk.com/page/download_track?file=6.2.1/universalforwarder/linux/splunkforwarder-6.2.1-245427-Linux-x86_64.tgz&ac=ga0508_s_splunk&wget=true&name=wget&platform=Linux&architecture=x86_64&version=6.2.1&product=splunk&typed=release'

Sorry, had to make and edit. Didnt paste correctly without a code block.

Just an update that the above download URIs no longer work. As of the time of writing, here are the correct ones:

http://download.splunk.com/products/splunk/releases/<version>/<platform>/<filename>;
http://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/<version>/<platform>/<filename>;

For example:
http://download.splunk.com/products/splunk/releases/6.3.3/linux/splunk-6.3.3-f44afce176d0-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm
http://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/6.3.3/linux/splunkforwarder-6.3.3-f44afce176d0-linux-2.6-x86_64.rpm

great. i would request that yourself and @piebob and the rest of the Splunk team coordinate the responses here so there are not two conflicting answers from Splunk.

Why is it so hard to provide your customers with a standardized direct download link!? Has your web/marketing team never spoken to an actual sys admin?

Can anyone please provide the updated version of the direct links, similar to those posted by piebob and rarsan, for the latest release?

Re: Where did the download links for wget go on splunk.com?!

JFrenchsplunk — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 16:08:29 GMT

The 6.5.2 links are now dead. They were working a few weeks ago, but not now:

wget -O splunkforwarder-6.5.2-67571ef4b87d-Linux-i686.tgz 'https://www.splunk.com/bin/splunk/DownloadActivityServlet?architecture=x86&platform=linux&version=6.5.2&product=universalforwarder&filename=splunkforwarder-6.5.2-67571ef4b87d-Linux-i686.tgz&wget=true'

Give unable to connect https handshake (last time thsi occured it was a firewall problem on spunks side).

Direct link:wget http://download.splunk.com/releases/6.5.2/universalforwarder/splunkforwarder-6.5.2-67571ef4b87d-Linux-x86_64.tgz

Says 404 not found...

So frustrating,

@JFrenchsplunk:
Here's the direct link:

Nine months later, this is still an issue. And the Splunk Fundamentals course still says there are links for downloading via wget.

Re: Where did the download links for wget go on splunk.com?!

jkugler — Fri, 13 Jul 2018 21:41:17 GMT

Update: you can find the "use wget" link, but only after clicking the "final" download button, and it starts automatically downloading. The course makes it sound like it's an option from the main download screen. Also, would be nice to have the "wget" option before it starts automatically downloading.
