Re: Universal Forwarder upgrade - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

Is the 6.0.2 Universal forwarder compatible with the 6.0.1 indexer?

In other words, are the latest universal forwarders compatible with older indexer versions?

thanks

Yes.

Ahh, this line at the end says it all:

Note: As a best practice, it is recommended that indexers be at the same or higher version level than the forwarders they're receiving data from.

This means that we should upgrade the indexer too.

thanks for the help!
