Getting Data In

Heavy Forwarder Installation version compatibility

Currently we are running with Splunk Cloud 7.2.9.1 version the same applicable for indexers ,cluster master and search heads.

So we have recently build a heavy forwarder server so that can i go ahead and install the latest version i.e. 8.0.3 ?

So i want to know will it be compatible to 7.2.9.1? and will the data ingestion wont be disturbed?

Or should i need to install the Heavy Forwarder package with older version i.e. nearer to 7.3 something?

Kindly let me know.

Hi @anandhalagarasan16021988,
Forwarders must have the same or lower version than Indexers.

Ciao.
