Hi @livehybrid , That was a sound advice. I wouldn't go as far as calling this a supported configuration (especially not for a production environment), but running the darwin x86 binaries on Apple silicon is achievable thanks to the Rosetta translation layer, and quite frankly, there is not much overhead noticeable for a single user test/dev environment (especially on a host that may or may not meet the minimum Splunk Enterprise hardware requirements in the first place). Back to the mongod issue: mongod-7.0 seems to start just fine with a fresh install of 10.0 (serverVersion : 7.0.18). But indeed, the mongod_upgrade binary is missing from the darwin_x86 tarball - this means also that the issue would likely be the same on Intel Macs. I've reached out to our support team and will update if more pointers come out. There should ideally be a way to avoid the vanilla installation.     ... View more

As per the compatibility matrix, the Developer License is still listed supported with x86 binaries, this should allow running a full Splunk Enterprise instance on Apple silicon with Rosetta (of course within the limitations of the Developer License). Otherwise there would be no point in providing MacOS binaries in the first place. I can also confirm that a fresh install of 10.0 works but the mongod_upgrade and mongod binaries have been missing from the MacOS tarballs since at least 9.3.0 (if we compare with the linux tarballs). I'll reach out to Support to get their feedback. ... View more
