Tar file install
To install Splunk on a Linux system, expand the tarball into an appropriate directory using the tar
command:
tar xvzf splunk_package_name.tgz
The default install directory is splunk
in the current working directory. To install into /opt/splunk
, use the following command:
tar xvzf splunk_package_name.tgz -C /opt
When you install Splunk with a tarball, note the following points:
- Some non-GNU versions of
tar
might not have the-C
argument available. In this case, to install in/opt/splunk
, eithercd
to/opt
or place the tarball in/opt
before running thetar
command. This method will work for any accessible directory on your machine's filesystem. - Ensure that the disk partition has enough space to hold the uncompressed volume of the data you plan to keep indexed.
Edit indexes.conf
In your indexes.conf file, edit the attribute vix.splunk.setup.package
so that it provides the path to the new Splunk .tgz package that Splunk Analytics for Hadoop can install and use on data nodes. The next time MapReduce spawns a search, Splunk pushes the new package to the nodes and upgrades the version stored on on the DataNode and TaskTracker.
See Set up a provider and virtual index in the configuration file for more information about editing configuration files.
