Hi,
I'm trying to install the splunk for windows TA app on the universal forwarder. Following the installation guide provided, it prompts me to download a .tar.gz file.

After which for step 2 its say to unpack the Splunk_TA_windows.zip into a certain folder, can I check where do I find this Splunk_TA_windows.zip??

Thanks

this is a typo...it is .tar.gz and you will need a file extraction utility like 7-zip.

If using winzip, the file extracted will be a .spl file.. but if extract using the utilities as mentioned above, then it will be the folder for the windowTA app
