The following Splunk documentation is used as a guide for creating the image: This will then be used to create a new software image using the grabimage command. The method used here is to use a working regular node, with splunk-forwarder installed and configured on it.

By following the procedure outlined here: Installing Splunk-Forwarder and building a new software image:
