Hi @sureshwalmart

Splunk UF 6.5.3 will not be compatable with Splunk Enterprise 8.1.9

and SPLUNk UF 6.x is already end of support.

I would suggest to SPLUNK UF upgade to 8.1x same as Splunk enterprise and or less than one or two minor version than Splunk enterprise UF version can be ex: 8.1.2 or 8.1.3

Below are the Splunk UF software support dates
