It says in "What a Splunk App for Windows deployment looks like" that "You can deploy the Splunk App for Windows on *nix search heads and use *nix indexers to index the data." In "How to deploy the Splunk App for Windows", we are told to install the Windows TA on our indexers. However, the "Windows TA documentation" says that it will not work properly installed on *nix systems. Sure enough, when I try to install the Windows TA on my Red Hat indexer, it does not appear as an app in Splunk Web. I am working with Windows App version 5.0.0 and Windows TA version 4.6.2.
I would like to have our Splunk for Windows App deployment use *nix for both the indexers and search heads; is this possible?
