## Unreleased

### 🚩 Deprecations 🚩

- (Splunk) `Linux installer script`: Fluentd support has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release. ([#6264](https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector/pull/6264))
- Please use native OTel Collector receivers instead.
- A common replacement for Fluentd's functionality is the [filelog receiver](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-observability-cloud/manage-data/available-data-sources/supported-integrations-in-splunk-observability-cloud/opentelemetry-receivers/filelog-receiver).
Many common configuration examples of the `filelog` receiver can be found in the [logs_config_linux.yaml](https://github.com/signalfx/splunk-otel-collector/blob/87bee7ae45b08be8d143a758d0f7004fd92d8f60/cmd/otelcol/config/collector/logs_config_linux.yaml) file.
