On December 31, 2021, Red Hat's CentOS Linux reached End Of Life (EOL). Per Red Hat, Inc, CentOS Linux users must migrate to a new operating system to continue receiving updates, patches, and new features. Red Hat also encourages customers to migrate to RHEL. Additionally, Red Hat made the new "CentOS Stream" operating system a non-production, pre-build version of RHEL, with no long-term support model. Splunk UBA does not include CentOS Stream as a supported operating system. Customers must migrate to and adopt a supported production Linux distro of RHEL, Ubuntu, or OEL as a base OS for UBA version 5.1.0.
