Getting Data In

Why am I getting this error on the Universal Forwarder "Parameters must be in the form '-parameter value'"?

Getting the above error when running the following command

splunk install app C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\splunkclouduf.spl -auth user:password

I suspect you need to wrap that file path in quotes, because "Program Files" contains a space. So maybe try this:

splunk install app "C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\splunkclouduf.spl" -auth user:password
