Can we upgrade the Splunk version through Splunk Web?

[Sdoddipa12]

Is there a way to upgrade the Splunk version through Splunk UI (Splunk Web)? ...i.e from the search head as we upgrade and install the apps..

I AM NOT suggesting that you should do this, only that you could do it and that you might be able to make it work:

No, you have to do it using the instructions on the splunk website, e.g., untarring the files over the existing directory.
