Hi.

The Splunk Universal Forwarder download site only provides a client for versions 10.12 (Sierra) to 10.14 (Mojave):

Thanks for that response. MacOS Catalina is now generally released and we have users in our organisation that have installed it. We notice that Splunk released v7.3.2 of the Universal Forwarder on October 2nd but unfortunately it is still only available as 32-bit. As such, it appears that Splunk still does not have a Universal Forwarder that is compatible with the current release of MacOS.

Hi

As of today I dont think the MacOS Catalina (version 10.15) has been released, so once the OS version gets released Splunk should be able to release the UF version as per the same.

You will get the details once its been released in the below link.
