Is it possible to install the Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure on Splunk running on CentOS?

Hi,

I am trying to deploy Splunk for Windows Infrastructure to monitor my Domain Controllers.
I read the tutorial, and I saw the tutorial is designed for Splunk that is installed on Windows infrastructure and not Linux.

Is it possible to install the Splunk App for Windows Infrastructure on Splunk that is running on CentOS 7?

Thanks

Yes, the app will run on Centos.

You need to have the Splunk universal forwarder running on your domain controllers. You then configure and deploy the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Windows to those forwarders.

If you DC's are very busy, you will probably need to also set the following on the forwarders as well:

limits.conf

[thruput]
maxKBps =

The default value is 256 which is often not enough to keep up with the log traffic from busy DC's.
Setting this to 0 is unlimited. If you have bandwidth limitations you will need to find a happy median. You may have to live with some latency in indexing the events.

If you have a dev/test DC, I ALWAYS recommend you test on that one before deploying to production.
