Moving SPLUNK_HOME

pfabrizi
Path Finder

My forwarder was installed under a non standard folder. /opt/splunkforwarder
I noticed that the tar file for the version all assume 'splunk'. I struggled on how to copy\move the new version and then I realized I can just move the splunkforwarder folder to splunk.

What other files do I need to modify except /opt/splunk/etc/splunk-launch.conf ?

Thank You!

Updating SPLUNK_HOME in splunk-launch.conf should be enough! If Splunk starts cleanly then you're all set!
