Install the universal forwarder on HP-UX
Important: Splunk does not offer an installation package for Splunk Enterprise on HP-UX. There is a universal forwarder installation package for HP-UX version 11i v3.
To use Splunk Enterprise on HP-UX, you must download an older version of the Splunk software. See the previous releases page.
Basic installation
To install the universal forwarder on an HP-UX system, expand the tar file with GNU tar into an appropriate directory. The default installation directory is /opt/splunkforwarder.
When you install with the tar file:
- The forwarder does not create the
splunkuser automatically. If you want the forwarder to run as a specific user, you must create the user manually. - Be sure the disk partition has enough space to hold the uncompressed volume of the data you plan to keep indexed.
Next steps
Now that you have installed the Splunk universal forwarder, visit the Universal Forwarder manual to:
- Learn how to configure it to get and forward data.
- Configure it to start at boot time. See Configure Splunk software to start at boot time.
- Learn the what commands you can issue to it.
