Estimated date/release for end of support of Linux kernel 2.6

[chclemence]

Hello,

I see that Linux kernel 2.6 is deprecated since 1 year (on April 2018, with Splunk 7.1.0).
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/7.1.0/ReleaseNotes/Deprecatedfeatures#Platform_support

I would like to know which future version of Splunk will "remove" this kernel version, and if there is an estimated release date.

Regards,
Christophe

Per the doc file

Linux Kernel 2.6 x86-64: Enterprise and Free/Trial support is deprecated and might be removed entirely in a future release.

This means we don't have a solid time line defined for removing it, but at any time we can drop support for it. As advised, if you are concerned about this, please open a support ticket / talk to your account manager about this. This way our product team can evaluate if we should/not drop support for this..

Otherwise, upgrade! 🙂
