Installing Splunk Enterprise
Downloaded Splunk Enterprise from this website and installed Splunk Enterprise on a virtual machine (VM) running Ubuntu 24.04.02 LTS.
Post-installation configuration
- Because of my virtual machine, I searched for a shortcut in the applications menu and couldn't find it. So I had to start Splunk from the terminal.
cd /opt/splunk/bin
sudo ./splunk start --accept-license
