Hi All
I quite new to splunk and I am trying to install splunk universal forwarder 6.2.2 on linux systems.
Below are the commands that I have in a shell script which is executed by root user.
The script is executing perfectly till step 6.
On step 7 the script gets hung and there is no output and neither the script proceeds ahead.
I am unable to understand if this is an issue with the linux server where I am trying to install the forwarder or something is wrong with the installer.
Can someone please help me on this.
Thanks
Nirmalya
Well for some reason ./splunk start --accept-license
or splunk enable boot-start -user splunk
was not working on this particular Linux server. We are yet to figure out the reason.
So we had to use service splunk enable boot-start -user splunk
and service splunk start
to get the thing working.
For other cases we were getting error message
For ./splunk start --accept-license
we got Unrecognized service
For splunk enable boot-start -user splunk
the command execution went to hung state
Good thing is the service is now working fine with service splunk start/stop/restart
commands

Hi nirmalya2006,
instead of item 7 and 8 you should run the following commands
In addition I suggest to use rpm command because in this way you avoid items 2,3,4,5 and 6
you have only three items:
Every way see http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Forwarder/6.5.2/Forwarder/Installanixuniversalforwarder

You have an extra ./splunk start --accept-license
.
yes sorry! cut and past error!
Bye.

I also tried to manually execute the same command but it remains hung and I had to terminate the execution
splunk enable boot-start -user splunk --accept-license --answer-yes
