Pre-requisites

  • Apple MacBook (Apple Silicon M1/M2)
  • AWS/EC2 (Ubuntu 22.04 or above)

Install Docker

Docker is required to run the F1 2023 UDP listener and UI. The UDP listener will take the UDP stream from F1 2023 and transform the stream into metric payload for Splunk Observability Cloud and Splunk Enterprise/Cloud. The UI is used to configure where to send the metrics, start/stop the UDP listener(s) and change the name of the current driver.

The following instructions will install Docker on your laptop or EC2 instance:
