splunk upgrade from 7.3.3 to 8.0.0 failed (Could not create path D:\splunk\data\index\_metrics\db appearing in indexes.conf: 5 )
Hi, anyone know how to solve this problem?
C:\Users\AppData\Local\temp\splunk.log
In the log file is shown :
Could not create path D:\splunk\data\index_metrics\db appearing in indexes.conf: 5
Validating databases (splunk valiadated) failed with code '1'
as we have tried to use Admin account already and can access to this folder D:\splunk\data\index\_metrics.
but we cannot upgrade successfully.
system environment:
Splunk 7.3.3
Windows Server 2012 R2

This is a permissions problem: Splunk cannot create that directory and it MUST in order to run. You can either manually create or give the user that Splunk is running as the permission to create it.

Hi,
can you check under which user splunk service is running? By default it is system. This user also needs to have read/write/execute permission on the folder D:\splunk\data\index_metrics\
Just a friendly tip: I suggest you migrate your splunk environment to linux. Since we have done it, our life is much easier.

Do you know which user for D:\splunk\data\index\_metrics\?
As currently, we cannot see the owner.

system user is running splunkd service.
For D:\splunk\data\index\_metrics\, it is read only and it shows that You do not have permission to view this object's security properties, even as an administrator user.

@jerjer951109 I see that can be your problem... Try taking over ownership of the folder with your admin account and then you will be able to change the permissions.
