Is there any way to upgrade the data collection node? I am going to upgrade the Splunk app for VMware but cannot find any information about upgrading the dcn.
Should I just deploy a new one? But I am not sure what configuration has been done on it.
A good question! We used to have it in old versions.
Prerequisite
Find splunk_forwarder_for_vmware-<version>-<build_number>.zip in the downloaded VMware app package
Upgrade the data collection node
If the scheduler is not connecting to the new DCN for some reason,
1. please check versions of SA-Utils and SA-Hydra for both SH and DCN and make sure they are same.
2. Also, please try, delete the DCN from Configuration Collections and add it back.
