Installation

Where can I locate compatible versions of the Java Runtime Environment?

Splunk DB Connect 3.9 won't accept the Java Runtime "jdk-18_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz".
When DB Connect prompts me to input the JRE Installation path in Configuration > Settings, it throws this error "Need Oracle Corporation JRE version 1.8 or OpenSDK 1.8".

I don't seem to get the link that will take me to download this JRE 1.8 version.
Can someone point me in the right direction to get the right JRE version downloaded.
Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks for your response @Roy_9 

This is the same link I have. I already downloaded "jdk-18_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz" but DB Connect wants JRE version 1.8 and not version 18. I also don't get a version option to choose from as we only have java version 18 and 17 from the link.
