Splunk Heavy forwarder(AIX) and Enterprise(Linux) version compatibility

ramprakash — Wed, 18 Nov 2020 18:07:29 GMT

Hi All,

Can someone please assist me. Presently I have Heavy forwarder in AIX ver 6.1 sending data to Indexers in Linux ver 7.3.0. Now I am upgrading Splunk instances on Both the OS. My concern is will Linux Indexers on ver 8.0.4 support Heavy forwarder in AIX. Presently I have no issue but I am worried once I upgrade to 8.0.4

PS :Splunk Enterprise doesn't support AIX anymore.
