ESS 2.0 unix-TA error

[xuanyun]

Dear expert:

There is an error on my index server when I installed ESS 2.0 on my Splunk 5. My environment is that only 1 splunk server, *nix apps has been installed on it. I can use splunk to monitor my linux and unix OS when the ESS did not install.

But , when ESS has been installed that I find a error in the dashboard of *nix. The dashboard tell me *unix-TA can not installed on index server, and I can not see anything.

How can I solve this problem ?

Thank you very much !

ESS 2.0 and the Unix app that was current at the time had incompatible Unix input layers. This was corrected over a year ago; current versions are recommended.
