Splunk download: Any locations to get the installer id vs release number?

[koshyk]

As  part of Splunk automation, we are looking to see if we  can download Splunk automatically into the servers directly for  upgrade hands-free for Test machines

The output I'm looking for is a simple lookup/details like below. Anyone aware of any links which expose below  details?

splunk_release	installer_id	arch	os	pkg
6.6.3	e21ee54bc796	amd64	linux	deb
8.1.4	17f862b42a7c	x86_64	linux	rpm

Rather than have each server download the installer from Splunk, may I suggest you download it manually once to a local store and have the automation install Splunk from there?

Of course  we  do like into central artefact location.  We do compare all of  it centrally and scripted to compare with md5sum  etc.

The only  issue still is someone have  to go  logon download a copy & and get the "installer" id and populate an ansible  manifest manually. Also has to be  done  a separate administrator team which takes process etc.

Was just   checking if Splunk  or any official  links which exposes the  installer-id,  then our automation script can do it all dynamically.

I’m totally agree with @richgalloway that you should download those first to your own artifactory and check that those are ok and valid versions. 
Here is one answer where you could see the url where you could download those https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/Where-did-the-download-links-for-wget-go-on-splunk-com/...
