No, you don't need a dedicated server to run Splunk. You can run it on your workstation if you have the resources available.

Someone with access to the DB server will have to install the Splunk Universal Forwarder. Then you will have access to the DB logs, assuming the server and your workstation can communicate to one another.

Yes, you can run Splunk on that system, provided you have sufficient disk space for the data you will be indexing. Of course, you'll have to make sure your firewall allows access to your system by the other PCs.

Splunk will install on a large number of platforms, including most versions of Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, BSD and MacOS. You can certainly run it on a laptop if you like. However, you may not be able to efficiently handle large amounts of data on a limited hardware platform. But for playing/learning, it's a good thing.

Please refrain from asking the same question twice. It's better to edit your existing question.
