Splunk SOAR

Error while preparing system for SOAR installation

I was trying to install splunk soar on a CentOS 9 machine, but I'm getting this error:

Unable to read CentOS/RHEL version from /etc/redhat-release.

I think, it is due to the end of life of CentOS 7 and 8, and the provided  installation for splunk soar are supported on these versions only.

What should I do?

Splunk SOAR (On-premises) supports these operating systems and versions:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 through 7.9
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.0 and any of the minor versions of 8.
    You can use the most recent minor release of RHEL 8 that is available at the time of the Splunk SOAR (On-premises) release.
  • Amazon Linux 2
  • Oracle Linux 8

If you are unable to use any of these then you should raise a support case to see if they can help. 

I think you could edit the install script to allow for another *nix OS but then you would be out of any support entitlement.
