Hi @gcusello , Thanks for your reply. I have followed the AIX installation guide as recommended and deleted off all old splunkforwarder files, starting with a fresh installation . After unzipping the file to opt/splunk/$SPLUNK_HOME, changing ownership: chown -R splunk:splunk su - splunk The process still hangs after running $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/./splunk enable boot-start, right at the beginning when prompting for the splunk administrator username. It did not even get to the prompt below : This command invokes the following system commands to register the forwarder in the System Resource Controller (SRC): mkssys -G splunk -s splunkd -p <path to splunkd> -u <splunk user> -a _internal_exec_splunkd -S -n 2 -f 9 Is there any way for me to check logs for any errors or dump files? I am not able to create a diag file via ./splunk diag as splunk is not yet installed I tried running netstat to look for any splunkd processes or common ports such as 8000, 8080, 8089, or 9997 to no avail This AIX machine has the same resources as all other machines so there shouldn't be a resource bottleneck. splunk universal forwarder (8.2.2.1) on an AIX (7.1) machine, Thanks!
