PDF Report Server - install on Linux only
Overview
As of Splunk 5.0, PDF generation is officially supported in the base platform, making this app no longer necessary for most PDF cases.
The PDF Report Server add-on enables your Linux-based Splunk instance to generate emailed reports in PDF format. IMPORTANT: it is only compatible with Intel-based Linux systems and requires the Xvfb and xauth operating system packages to be installed. See the documentation for further details. Instances of Splunk running on non-Linux OS's (Solaris, Windows, etc.) cannot run the PDF Report Server, but they can be configured to use a remote Linux-based Splunk server with this add-on installed to generate PDFs. This add-on requires an Enterprise license and will not work with a Free license. For more information, see: http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1/Installation/ConfigurePDFprintingforSplunkWeb
