Upgrading Search Head from 4.3.4 to 6.0.1

[abhayneilam]

Hi,

I am wanting to upgrade my Splunk Search Head from 4.3.4 to 6.0.1 version. Could you please help me in that with some proper document or any kind of concrete solution.

Please help !!

First, you should upgrade to 6.0.5, the latest 6.0.x version, unless there is some specific reason why you have to stay back at 6.0.1?

Second, there is detailed upgrade information in the Installation Manual.

It's all in the docs, nothing hidden. 🙂

Thanks a lot !! Do I need to do copy my old configuration file, apps, any thing, or all will be there in the new one.

Do I need to do any hidden activity ?
