Heavy Forwarder Installation version compatibility

anandhalagaras1 — Wed, 15 Apr 2020 10:57:01 GMT

Currently we are running with Splunk Cloud 7.2.9.1 version the same applicable for indexers ,cluster master and search heads.

So we have recently build a heavy forwarder server so that can i go ahead and install the latest version i.e. 8.0.3 ?

So i want to know will it be compatible to 7.2.9.1? and will the data ingestion wont be disturbed?

Or should i need to install the Heavy Forwarder package with older version i.e. nearer to 7.3 something?

Kindly let me know.

Hi @anandhalagarasan16021988,
Forwarders must have the same or lower version than Indexers.

Ciao.
