Getting Data In

Why is the UF version on forwarder different than what the indexer is seeing?

I recently upgraded all of my Universal Forwarders (UF) to 7.0.3 from various version levels (some 6.3.3, some were 7.x).

On one of the forwarders (AIX) when I run the command;
./splunk version
I get; "Splunk Universal Forwarder 7.0.3"

But a search to list forwarder versions on the indexer lists a different version for the same host;

index=_internal sourcetype=splunkd group=tcpin_connections | stats first(version) by hostname
I get; "Version 7.0.2"

Why are the versions being listed differently? After the upgrade, this is the only UF not listing 7.0.3 at the indexer.

Pardon my negativity, it would not surprise me if this is a bug, surely the wrong version is being sent by the forwarder.

I would recommend uninstalling and reinstalling, if the same then obviously a defect!
