Happy Splunking !!
I didn't find any instruction for Windows environment , can u please share if you have.
Install the app from GUI as said above.
Use Windows CMD, to execute the same set of commands that are mentioned for Linux. There are no differences in commands.
Actually there is a problem in the latest eventgen where I had to comment out a line in a python file in order to get it to install. Once done I then ran into other issues creating an app and creating an eventgen.conf in local directory which was solved by:
"What I've found is if you are on Windows copy eventgen.conf to locals folder and run icacls against it to change permissions. icacls C:\program files\Splunk\etc\apps\your app here\local\eventgen.conf /grant SYSTEM:F.
Took me forever to figure this out. Also every time I edit the file I have to change perms again. Became such a pain that I wrote a c# service to watch for eventgen.conf changes and change perms automatically."
Why do you think there's a seperate installation guide for Windows? Should be the same as for Linux. Just do it 😉
