S.o.S app - Splunk 6.x support

I noticed the documentation still references Splunk 5.x and 4.x but 6.x is listed on the right side of the app description. Are the installation instructions different for Splunk 6.x? According to the documentation, the TA for Unix and Linux indicates it is only supported up through version 5.x. Will this be updated for version 6.x?

Thank you for pointing this out: It appears that our documentation (the README files, at the very least) is lagging behind a bit. Just to clarify:

  • The current version of the S.o.S app and of its add-ons support all versions of Splunk between 4.3 and 6.0.1 (the latest release of Splunk 6 at this time)
  • Installation instructions are the same for all of the supported versions
