Is it possible to update the Splunk Universal Forwarder but not change anything else?

[raidermike2]

I have some old versions of Splunk lying around and want to just do an update, not change the directory being monitored or anything else.

How can I do that?

The Sudplunk required items in the pillar want me to change more than I want.

you can upgrade splunk according to docs, nothing will be changed
read carefully all the way and follow instructions.
