Is App for Stream considered a premium app?

[mosaixsolutions]

I am testing the free version of Splunk and would like to capture wire data. I have spent the last 3 days trying to get it setup with no luck. I have not problem streaming syslog data or loading other logs files. I came across the following post indicating premium apps (created by Splunk) are not supported with the free version. Can someone please confirm or clarify. Thanks!

Premium apps are apps that you have to pay for: Enterprise Security, the Exchange App, and the VMware app. Splunk develops and maintains numerous other apps that are available for free.

Stream is a free app. I can't find any information that indicates it wouldn't work with Splunk Free.

I suggest you create a new Answers posting with the specific errors and issues you are encountering. The community can help you troubleshoot your installation. For example (starting with the basics), did you enable the Wire Data input and do you have root privileges? Posting a new question that describes the steps you have taken the results you are getting (or not getting) will be the most useful.

According to the free vs. enterprise page premium apps are not available with the free version.

What's not clear is if App for Stream is considered a premium app. This post indicates premium apps are ones Splunk develops or maintains.

Can anyone confirm for sure? Unfortunately I've spend to many hours troubleshooting App for Stream with the free version and this is the only resolution i've found.

Thanks for the feedback!
