Hardware and software requirements for the Splunk ODBC Driver

The Splunk Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) Driver is currently available for Windows only.

You must install the Splunk ODBC Driver on the Windows machine in your environment that runs the application you want to use it with, whether that's Microsoft Excel, Tableau Desktop, or Microsoft Power BI. However, it does not need to be installed on the computer that is running Splunk Enterprise.

Though running the Splunk ODBC Driver and Splunk Enterprise on the same Windows PC is a supported configuration, you can use the Splunk ODBC Driver to connect to Splunk Enterprise running on any supported platform, including Mac OS X, RedHat and SUSE Linux 32/64-bit.
