Was requested that I do development on my laptop, and to install Splunk ES 2.4 on my laptop (along with Splunk Enterprise 5.02, SideView Utility 1.35). Laptop is on Windows XP SP3 and has only 2 GB of ram. Is Splunk ES 2.4 even supported on this hardware platform?
Fyi, i did install the aforementioned, but my laptop started to shutdown (hard) intermittently and abruptly. At times, staying on for a few minutes, other times shutting down as soon as rebooted and logged in.
Hence, i had to deinstall. Booted up without loggin in; had the admin guy remote into my laptop & disable the Splunk processes via MS-Services; then I logged in and uninstalled all things Splunk.
Laptop is now working great, and I can still develop via my web browser going to the Linux based search head. However, would have been better if could get Splunk ES running on my laptop. Some other data points:
1) I just need to perform correlated searches from my laptop.
2) Search head would be on laptop pointing to existing indexers.
3) Had successfully installed/configured Splunk Enterprise 5.02 (w/out ES).
4) And was performing non-correlated distributed searches.
5) (using existing linux based search heads).
Any and all feedback would be appreciated. yep, basically just trying to understand if a laptop with XP can handle Splunk ES app.
Many thanks... Al
