In production environment.
Splunk.
Enterprise, our Splunk.
It's highly recommended to run on Linux platform because of the performance and also the file systems
which can respawn much faster than a Windows file system in Windows.
I've seen a couple of environments where Splunk has been installed and probably they were not able to
keep it up and running for.
A good amount of time because the CPU is stuck at 100% almost every time.
Each search you make will take forever to run.
Usually for medium to large scale deployments.
Installing Splunk on Windows it's probably not a good idea.
But whereas Linux.
We'll be using RPM package and read at Linux throughout this course and we'll be building our own enterprise
level multi site with high availability and multi site indexer clustering on Amazon a.
We have Solaris versions.
On Mac OS.
These are Splunk Enterprise package.
They are close to 200 MP.
So let's go and download our package.
If you are using any other version of Linux you can download GZ If your OS is Debian flavor, you can
download the DB package and install the Splunk will download RPM package.
So once you click on download.
It should download without any issues.
And if you want to download directly on your server that is read that Linux machine, you can use the
command.
W get.
This is the comment.
Let's see that.
I'll copy it.
W get a log into my demo splunk instance, which is as of now on Amazon AWS.
No.
We have logged into our Amazon.
Let me bring up my demo Splunk instance.
And we have downloaded the Splunk package.
In our local system, we can use any file transfer software like file or secure FTP, this kind of softwares
to upload it.
But there is another best option which you can directly.
Upload or directly download the Splunk package on your.
Splunk machines.
We get that.
You get once more.
Once my instance is up, I can log in and paste this comment.
Hit enter.
This blank will be automatically downloaded into our.
Environment.
Let's log into our RWC.
With our private key.
And let me log into my Splunk account.
So now we are in Splunk account, so there are no files.
If you copy the same command that was given from the download.
And I'll just hit enter.
As you can see, the Splunk package is now directly onto the server where we need to install the Splunk.
Now.
We are done with that.
Let's proceed.
