Good day 

I have a splunk 8.2.3 onpremise instance, apparently my system does not want to start, when I execute manual start it gives me the following

[root@srvsplunk ~]# systemctl status -l splunk
● splunk.service - SYSV: Splunk indexer service
Loaded: loaded (/etc/rc.d/init.d/splunk; bad; vendor preset: disabled)
