unable to enable boot-start in splunk forwarder on Centos

[Gopinath]

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.

Please help, why is this issue coming at all? How to resolve it?

First try running below modified command line:

/app/splunk/splunkforwarder/bin/splunk enable boot-start -user awsadmin
Whats version of forwarder? 
is service managed by systemctl or init.d service?

[Gopinath]

The service is managed by init.d script

The version of UF is 7.2.3

After running this command only I am getting this issue.

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