Except this is their anything to do ? Or is it will be create any Impact to Splunk ? Should be dere any OS flavour compatibility needs to check before upgrade ?

Hi 

there shouldn't be any impact to splunk. But still do the backups before upgrade as usually. And check compability e.g. with kernel versions from splunk known issues and other documentation.
