Hi,

you cannot install the Splunk App for VMware by uploading the whole package over the UI.

The installation of the VMware App is well documented. Just follow the following link.

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/VMW/3.3.2/Installation/InstalltheSplunkAppforVMwareinadistribut...

For a clustered environment there are some differences of course.

Kind regards
