We can install Splunk forwarder through ansible tower while executing enable at boot-start we are facing the same error.

OS- CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003 (Core)

 UF - Linux version 7.2.3

command using : /app/splunk/splunkforwarder/bin/./splunk enable boot-start -user awsadmin

Error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

execve: No such file or directory

while running command /sbin/chkconfig

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried as root user as well, but still facing the error. I tried all answers from splunk community but nothing worked for me.

The service is managed by init.d script

The version of UF is 7.2.3

/app/splunk/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk enable boot-start -user awsadmin
