Upgraded universal forwarder from 5.2 to 6.5.0. Is it typical to receive a "parameter=tstatsHomePath not configured" error when upgrading and how to fix?

I upgraded my Windows universal forwarder from 5.2 to 6.5.0. All I did was grab the installer from download and install on top of the older config. I am getting a fatal error on the "parameter=tstatsHomePath not configured" is this a typical issue with the upgrade? What should I put in for the tstatsHomePath on the universal forwarder? Should I change the config at the deployment server? for the nix app or any app that uses the os index? How come this didn't error out on any other index config file?

I got a similar error when I accidentally put a state=disabled in my etc/apps/SplunkUniversalForwarder/local/app.conf

Thanks you for the help @wkupersa. I will take a look at my app.conf to see if it might be disabled

tstatsHomePath is Location where datamodel acceleration TSIDX data for this index should be stored and is mandatory.
to fix it,
- go to indexes.conf (in your custom app or any app which you configured indexes)
- on each individual index, put a new tstatsHomePath entry
- Put the same value as your hotPath (hope it has enough diskspace)
- distribute and restart

@Koshyk Thanks for the answer this makes sence but the system is a universal forwarder and is not indexing any inputs. Why would I need to put in a TSIDX data path on a universal forwarder?

Any help with this would be great. Do I still need a TSIDX entry in the index.conf on a UF
