I've downloaded the splunk security essential files all into my laptop, but I can't figure out how to upload into into splunk enterprise as an app. What is my next step and where do I go to do this?

Hi

you should follow these instructions https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SSE/3.7.1/Install/InstallSSE

If you have different version then select correct documentation based on your version.

>>> I've downloaded the splunk security essential files all into my laptop

May we know if you downloaded the single tar file (For example, ..splunk-security-essentials_371.tgz)


>>> but I can't figure out how to upload into into splunk enterprise as an app. What is my next step and where do I go to do this?

after downloading that tar file (for example..."splunk-security-essentials_371.tgz"), on your splunk, pls go to 

(left side Apps dropdown) Apps -- - > Manage Apps --- > Install app from file.

then select the tar file and load it, it will install smoothly.. then splunk restart will be required. 

thanks and best regards,
Sekar

I'm in the install app from file section, and I've downloaded the security essentials, but I don't see a file to put in there. What is the exact name of it because I feel like I've tried all of them?

Hi @bennett_riegel 
1. did you download the app as a tar file from the Splunkbase
(the file name looks like "splunk-security-essentials_371.tgz")

2. on your Splunk, pls go to 

(left side Apps dropdown) Apps -- - > Manage Apps --- > Install app from file.

3. then select the tar file("splunk-security-essentials_371.tgz") and load it, it will install smoothly..
4. then Splunk restart will be required. 

thanks and best regards,
Sekar
