Hi, we just upgraded splunk from 4.3.1 to 5.0.1 and now every time we start splunk, splunkd crashes.

Here is the text from the crashlog:

If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. This is on our test server, but we are supposed to roll it out into production soon.

Thanks!

You can file a case with support if you have an enterprise contract and they'll be able to provide you with additional details.
