Hi,
We have a single splunk instance(Linux) hosted in AWS. The current version is Splunk entrprise 7.3.0 and we would like to upgrade to 9.x
Could someone please help us with the upgrade path and instructions.
Hi @nachi,
upgrade from 7.3.0 to 9.x is a long path because they are a very different products and you have to change the python version,
so at first you have to migrate at 8.0.x or 8.1.x, following the steps at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.2.1/Installation/HowtoupgradeSplunk
then at 8.2.x https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.0/Installation/HowtoupgradeSplunk
then at 9.0 or 9.1
and at least at 9.2 as described at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.2.0/Installation/HowtoupgradeSplunk
Special attention must be used in App migration because python changed and the old apps could not be compatible with the new version; use the Upgrade readiness app (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/5483) to check your apps followinf the documentation at https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/UpgradeReadiness/About?_gl=1*fwtqsv*_ga*MzU3MjIz...
For the apps from Splunkbase, find the new versions compatible with the latest Splunk version.
Ciao.
Giuseppe
