Hi @ShawnXie 

You mentioned the first 3 steps but have you also carried out the remainder of the steps at https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/forward-and-process-data/splunk-remote-upgrader-for-lin... such as starting the daemon 

sudo systemctl start splunk-upgrader

and also deploying splunk_app_uf_remote_upgrade_linux from your DS?

Please confirm you've followed all the steps and let us know if you have any issues/errors.

thanks for your reply 

Lest my previous statement was unclear and caused any misunderstanding
I run the script by inputs.conf  like this:

 

i run upgrader_install.sh manually , everything is ok the service can start

i run upgrader_install.sh by inputs.conf interval it's failed

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure if I need add   --sudo systemctl start splunk-upgrader--  in my script  additionally
because when i run --sudo ./bin/install.sh --accept-license --create-user--  ,and I run upgrader_install.sh manully   the splunk-upgrader.service finally start itself.

and when install failed, I can't start service actully

Error log like this

I try to deliver a script use deployment server with 3 steps

1，cp the tgz to /opt

2，untar the upgrader tgz

3，run command as document say

sudo ./bin/install.sh --accept-license --create-user

The result shows step1,2 finished but have some problem with step 3

I'm not sure which user the Splunk run script uses and what permissions it has.
even though the log says :
current user is root
EUID is 0

my test environment splunkd run as root
