Hi @splunkuseramit,
You should use splunkforwarder-8.2.3-cd0848707637-Linux-x86_64.tgz package.
wget -O splunkforwarder-8.2.3-cd0848707637-Linux-x86_64.tgz 'https://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/8.2.3/linux/splunkforwarder-8.2.3-c...'

Hi @splunkuseramit,
You should use splunkforwarder-8.2.3-cd0848707637-Linux-x86_64.tgz package.
wget -O splunkforwarder-8.2.3-cd0848707637-Linux-x86_64.tgz 'https://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/8.2.3/linux/splunkforwarder-8.2.3-c...'
I'm seeing this error on splunk 9.0.4
Is the a newer version to try?
bash: /opt/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
splunkforwarder-9.0.4-de405f4a7979-Linux-armv8.tgz -
Thanks
Dave
Hi @dhotlosz,
You are getting errors because of the wrong operating system installation file. You should reinstall with a package that is compatible with your operating system. If your system has Intel or AMD CPU you should use the 64-bit version of Linux.
You can try below;
wget -O splunkforwarder-9.0.4-de405f4a7979-Linux-x86_64.tgz "https://download.splunk.com/products/universalforwarder/releases/9.0.4/linux/splunkforwarder-9.0.4-d..."
