$ cd /opt/splunkforwarder/bin
$ ./splunk status
Couldn't determine $SPLUNK_HOME, perhaps it should be set in environment
When ./splunk status command is executed in Splunk Forwarder's bin folder, the above mentioned splunk home error is getting displayed.
Please suggest me a way to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Based on Could not determine $SPLUNK_HOME, perhaps it should be set in environment
It might be related to permissions to run the splunk binary. It says -
The environment variable is not set by default anywhere. In *NIX bash shell, you can put this in ~/.bash_profile
:
export SPLUNK_HOME="/opt/splunk"
Please note the addition of the line in the middle:
$ cd /opt/splunkforwarder/bin
$ . setSplunkEnv
$ ./splunk status
On the server where you are trying to run ./splunk status set the environment variable using export.
check the splunk-launch.conf at .../splunkforwarder/etc/
