We would like to patch up the OS and would like to know what are the dependencies on RHEL 8 OS does Splunk has. Thanks.
The only "formal" dependencies of the splunk package are quite general and are rather impossible to _not_ be fulfilled on any RHEL installation
# rpm -q --requires splunk
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/groupadd
/usr/sbin/useradd
coreutils
findutils
grep
procps
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(FileDigests) <= 4.6.0-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
sed
