Since this is an introduction to the Splunk, cause we have gone through a lot of theoretical stuff
as of now.
Now let us do some activity where we'll be seeing how to download Splunk.
Also, before downloading Splunk, we learned in our previous lecture there are many components of Splunk.
Do we need to download all these components?
The answer is no.
All we are to do is.
For any installation of Splunk, you just need to download two packages.
One is the Splunk Enterprise.
The second is the universal forwarder, also referred as Splunk agent.
The Splunk Enterprise, which is the core product of Splunk.
And this package can be used to install any component of Splunk, whereas the Splunk, universal forwarder,
which is an agent of the Splunk, is used to collect data from the remote machines.
No.
Let's proceed to download these packages to download Splunk Enterprise package.
Click on the link provided or visit Splunk.
When you visit Splunk dot com.
You can see there is a free Splunk.
Icon, which you click.
It will ask you to fill out a registration form, which you can fill it out.
If you don't already have an Splunk account, you create it with your personal ID or official ID.
Since I already have my ID, I'll click on login.
Once the login page is loaded.
Let me enter my credit credentials.
Once you're successfully registered or logged into Splunk, you'll be able to see.
Two products which you can download one Splunk Enterprise.
Second Splunk Cloud.
From our previous lectures, we already know the difference.
What does Splunk Cloud mean and what does Splunk Enterprise mean?
Throughout this course, we will be dealing only with Splunk Enterprise, which has a software package
that can be download and install in our own environment.
This is what happens when we all gain from the Splunk dot.com.
If you click on the direct link, you'll be landed directly into this page where you click on free download.
It will again ask you to log in if you are not logged in, or it will if you are already logged in,
it will redirect you to the download page.
Similarly, the same happens here.
If I click on free download, it will direct me to choose.
The flavor of OS, which I need my Splunk Enterprise to install.
Now we have got this page.
There are some information that are displayed on this page.
Let's go through them.
The first as of today.
The Splunk latest version is Splunk 6.6.2.
By default.
Whenever you download a Splunk package, you get a free license of 500 MB B per day.
You might think that is good enough data.
For.
Trying out or understanding or learning?
Splunk Yes, it is sufficient, but once you realize the potential of Splunk, you see that 500 MB B
is not sufficient for whatsoever.
Once you are downloaded this package, you'll get a 500 MB B license, which is free of cost, which
comes as part of installation package can be used for 60 days after 60 days.
Once the license is expired, you'll not be able to run any search on your Splunk instance, including
reports, dashboards or alerts.
If you see down below, you have Windows version of Splunk.
Linux version, Solaris and Mac.
Throughout this course, we'll be completely focusing on installing sprung on that Linux platform.
Or you can.
Call is.
