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.
