Upgrading to Splunk 6

Hello,

I am planning on upgrading to Splunk 6 soon, but was curious if anyone has had any issues with Splunk 6? I am currently using Splunk 4.2.2 with a pretty simple set up. I have one forwarder, and three indexers. Please let me know if there is anything special i should need to do in this upgrade process.

Thank you

You'll need to upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 first and then from 4.3 to version 6. They are both pretty straightforward. The docs have all the details.
