Hi @PC5,

you can follow instructions at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.2/Installation/InstallonLinux

I usually use rpm, but you can also choose tar, if you prefer.

Ciao.

I copied the link of Splunk which was downloaded and runned it through Wget Command in centos.

OK. So you only downloaded the software. Now you have to install it. Depending on what form you downloaded it in, you should either unpack the archive and place in appropriate directory or install the package file.

Hi @PC5,

this really is a new question, please put it in a different question, also because, I'm not an expert of DB-Connect and there's surely someone else that can help you better than me.

Ciao and happy splunking.
