Is Splunk 8.2.5 supported on Red Hat 7.9 ?

Hi @rayar,

are you speking about Splunk Enterprise or Universal Forwarder?

Anyway, Red Hat 7.9 has a kernel 3.10 and Splunk Enterprise 8.2.5 and 8.2.6 are certified for kernels 3.x+.

Universal Forwarders 8.2.5 and 8.2.6 are certified for kernels 3.x+ but only at 64 bits.

As you can see at the download page of Splunk or at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.6/Installation/Systemrequirements.

Ciao.

I'm speaking about the Splunk Enterprise.  Via that site: System requirements for use of Splunk Enterprise on-premises - Splunk Documentation, it looks like all versions of SPlunk (up to 9.1.2) will work on Linux 3.x and 4.x kernels. 

My concern about the 8.2.x is that SPlunk clearly says this is no longer supported since 9/30/23.

Hi @cooldude1812 

>>>it looks like all versions of SPlunk (up to 9.1.2) will work on Linux 3.x and 4.x kernels. 

Yes, right. in fact, 5x also good (All Linux x86 (64-bit) 3x, 4x and 5x are good with Splunk 9.1.2)

>>>My concern about the 8.2.x is that SPlunk clearly says this is no longer supported since 9/30/23.x

Yes, you are right. 

Splunk Enterprise version 8.2.x is no longer supported as of September 30, 2023.

To have Splunk support and to avoid the security issues on older versions, the Splunk Customers should upgrade from 8.2.x to 9.x.x. 

hope you understand the issue better now, thanks.
