We just installed the forwarder on one of our VIOS systems to ensure we could get this working, however each time we try to start it up we see the below in our splunkd.log
02-09-2024 13:28:54.797 -0600 WARN ulimit [80544161 MainThread] - A system resource limit on this machine is below the minimum recommended value: system_resource = Data segment size (ulimit -d); current_limit = 134217728; recommended_minimum_value = 536870912. Change the operating system resource limits to meet the minimum recommended values for Splunk Enterprise.
02-09-2024 13:28:54.797 -0600 INFO ulimit [80544161 MainThread] - Limit: data file size: unlimited

We issued the ulimit -d command to update this to unlimited, however still seeing the issue.

This was perfect, TY. I updated /etc/security/limits with the appropriate values and all is working now.

Hello @kenbaugher ,
The ulimit -d configuration will only present the current ulimit configuration.
Please use the following Splunk doc to apply the ulimits configuration:
Thanks.
