Explorer

We want to install splunk in our golden image using packer .This is for deploying servers using golden images in Azure for RHEL8 and Ubuntu22.

I found documentation for Windows

Integrate a universal forwarder onto a system image - Splunk Documentation 


Not for RHEL/UBUNTU 

Any help appreciated.

Hi

here is one old post which is talking about AWAS AMI based installations.

I think that you should find your answer from it?

The steps are the same, except for the Windows-specific parts.  For instance, there's no need to use LAUNCHSPLUNK=0.  Use splunk enable boot-start rather than the Service Control Panel.

Submit feedback on the documentation to ask the Docs team to add Linux instructions.
