Can Splunk all-in-one be installed on oracle linux?

[bbiswabhusan]

Hello experts,

I have a requirement to deploy splunk all-in-one with a license of 30gb/day. The available OS is Oracle Linux 8.x and Oracle Linux 9.x with kernel version: 5.15.0-6.80.3.1.el8uek.x86_64. Does splunk enterprise support the the it. Need your inputs and any please suggest if it has any issues.

Thanks

OK. There are two separate things here.

One is "will/should splunk run on my system" - and that you can check on https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Installation/SystemRequirements

As you can see Linux with kernel 5.4 and higher is supported for running Splunk Enterprise.

Another question is about the installation method. As far as I remember, Oracle Linux is just a "repackage" of the RHEL so RPM packages for RH _should_ install without any big issues (and that's the approach I'd recommend - if there's a package for your OS, don't go for the manual installation).

Hi @bbiswabhusan,

as you can read at the download page (https://www.splunk.com/en_us/download/splunk-enterprise.html), Splunk Enterprise version 9.0.x is compatible with 3.x+, 4.x+, or 5.4.x kernel Linux distributions.

I didn't find any issues, but to be more sure, search (using e.g. Google) in Community eventual issues.

For my knowledge, there are many Splunk installations on Oracle Linux.

Ciao.
