Splunk silent installation: Is there an argument to bypass all arguments?

[a212830]

Hi,

I'm working on automating our Splunk installation. Is there an argument to bypass all arguments? I've seen the accept license prompt, but I've also run into questions about reviewing the migration when doing a upgrade.

For example:
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk start --accept-license --answer-yes --no-prompt

There are also specific instructions for silent installation on Windows in the Installation Manual.

Hi @rolfkuper ,

When you say "nothing happens", you mean literally nothing?  No errors or dialog or anything?  I would have said that you're missing AGREETOLICENSE=Yes on that command line, but I don't understand why nothing at all would happen...

You could try adding the following to the command line, and then maybe there'll be some hints in the log file:

/l*vx msiexec.log

Cheers,
