Hi @khohlweg,
Splunk 8.x.x is supported only on Windows Server 2016, Server 2019 (all installation options) and Windows 10, as you can read at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.2/Installation/Systemrequirements .

Probably it runs but it isn't supported by Splunk.

Ciao.
Giuseppe

I just tried it and the installer just stops and reverses the install, Spunk 8.x.x does not work on windows 2012 at all

I have to disagree. It worked for us but:

  • It was an upgrade, not an installation from scratch.
  • We upgraded from 7.3.9 to 8.1.10.1
  • We are using Splunk as a DS and a HF in that server.
  • We did this because it was our only option due to several reasons.

This is not supported by Splunk so I would not recommend to try it with IDX or SHs or if you have other supported options

Cheers!
