Hi @PaulPanther

curl -sSL https://dl.signalfx.com/splunk-otel-collector.sh > /tmp/splunk-otel-collector.sh && \
sudo sh /tmp/splunk-otel-collector.sh --realm au0 -- ********************** --mode agent --with-instrumentation --discovery

Okay, which os distribution and version do you run?

I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 8.10 (Ootpa), and have same error when install on Ubuntu 22.04.4
