Automatic Update Notification

The free Splunk Server periodically checks back with www.splunk.com to see if there's a new version available. It does not transmit any specific data about your installation back to us, other than its own version number. If there's a newer version ready for download, it will notify you on the Splunk Server's home page with a banner similar to the one below.
