Splunk Appsfor NetApp Data ONTAP and Splunk App for VMware share the Distributed Collection Scheduler to manage data collection tasks.

If you do not have the Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP installed in your test environment, skip this step and proceed to download and install the Splunk App for VMware.

Requirements to share a Distributed Collection Scheduler

Splunk App for VMware version 3.1.0 or later contains the most up-to-date add-ons that support the Distributed Collection Scheduler listed below. Because it contains the latest versions, Splunk App for VMware overwrites the existing versions that Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP installed.

• SA-Hydra version 4.0.0
• SA-Utils version 3.1.0

If you intend to run both applications in the same instance of Splunk Enterprise, install, configure, and test Splunk App for NetApp Data ONTAP before installing the Splunk App for VMware.
