Technical Add-on requirements¶
Operating system¶
The Technical Add-on is compatible with:
- Linux OS X86 in 32/64 bits, PowerPC (PowerLinux), s390x (ZLinux), ARM
- IBM AIX 7.1 and 7.2
- Oracle Solaris 11
Third party software and libraries¶
To operate as expected, the Technical Add-ons requires a Python OR a Perl environment available on the server:
Python environment: used in priority
Hint
Python 3 support
- From the release 1.1.0 of the Add-ons, Python 3.x is required (unless using Perl)
- The last release supporting Python 2.x is the release 1.0.11
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| Python interpreter | 3.x |
Perl environment: used only in fallback
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| Perl interpreter | 5.x |
| Time::HiRes module | any |
| Text::CSV or Text::CSV_XS module | any |
OR both interpreters in following minimal versions
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| Python interpreter | 3.x |
| Perl interpreter | 5.x |
Notes: local tasks (parsing, etc) will be shared between interpreters, specially the local parsing will be executed by the Python 2.6.x interpreter.
In addition, the Technical Addon “TA-metricator-hec-for-nmon” requires:
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| curl | Any |
Notes:
- IBM AIX does not generally contain Python. Nevertheless, Perl is available as a standard and the Technical Add-on has the Perl “Text::CSV” module built-in. More, Time::HiRes is part of Perl core modules.
- Modern Linux distribution generally have Python available and do not require any further action.
- Linux distributions lacking Python will fallback to Perl and must satisfy the Perl modules requirements.
- If running on a full Splunk instance (any Splunk dedicated machine running Splunk Enterprise), the Technical Add-on uses Splunk built-in Python interpreter.
