On reasonably powerful Linux server, I've been able to complete and upgrade in under 2 minutes and most of that was spent stopping and starting Splunk.</P> Thu, 22 Aug 2019 17:58:13 GMT richgalloway 2019-08-22T17:58:13Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459462#M5948 <P>Just like the title says, I'm updating from 6.6.1 to 7.3 and I'm just curious how long the installation takes.</P> <P>we only have the one app server, no premium apps. Most things are not even configured so our update process should just be running the one installer on one server.</P> <P>Thanks</P> Sat, 06 Jun 2020 16:30:00 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459462#M5948 ismams 2020-06-06T16:30:00Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459463#M5949 <P>Upgrade time depends on your platform and server, but it usually takes only a few minutes.

Thanks for the reply. I suppose I should have mentioned that it's on Windows Server 2012 R2. I knew there was something I was missing when I posted. </P> Thu, 22 Aug 2019 18:11:24 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459464#M5950 ismams 2019-08-22T18:11:24Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459465#M5951 <P>It won't be as fast on Windows, but still a quick and easy process.</P> Thu, 22 Aug 2019 19:06:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459465#M5951 richgalloway 2019-08-22T19:06:29Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459466#M5952 <P>Cool, Thanks!</P> Thu, 22 Aug 2019 20:03:43 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459466#M5952 ismams 2019-08-22T20:03:43Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459467#M5953 <P>I've always assumed that indexers take longer because there may be a step for the buckets to be checked for conformity to the new version. So, if it looks like it's taking a while don't freak out.</P> Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:27:29 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Installation/How-long-does-Splunk-7-3-take-to-install-Upgrading-from-6-6-1/m-p/459467#M5953 sloshburch 2019-09-25T18:27:29Z
