crashing on only one UF 

.... if you are looking for short answer... uninstall that 9.0.4 UF, use another UF version... either 9.0.0 or 9.1.0..etc..

if you are looking for a perfect solution, then, Splunk support ticket is the only answer. (9.0.4 UF is a recent one... the linux and that UF may have some compatibility issues or.. that particular linux is giving some troubles to the UF.. only Splunk Support guys can solve this issues.. thanks. 

thanks and best regards,
