Hi,

You can normally downgrade by simply running untar of an older version on top of a stopped splunk directory.
Take a backup first of course.

Then start splunk.

See the following links in case it helps as this has been discussed before:

Thanks,

Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package splunk-7.1.0-2e75b3406c5b.x86_64 (which is newer than splunk-7.0.3-fa31da744b51.x86_64) is already installed
