Splunk DB Connect: Can I run 2 versions on the same server to avoid migrating database inputs to an upgrade? (v2.3.0 and v3)

[earlhelms]

I am currently running DbConnect version 2.3.0 and I would like to upgrade to DbConnect version 3. My issue is that I have maybe 40 database inputs and various other uses of DbConnect that would make a migration difficult. What I would like to do is install both versions on the same server and slowly migrate and test one input at a time.

Is it possible to run DbConnect version 2 and version 3 on the same server?

Thank you. I'm upvoting even though I upgraded long ago.

You can copy the app folder from the old version and rename it to _old or something like that. Then you can simply install the new version and you will have both versions working on your splunk instance.
