Splunk Enterprise

Heavy forwarder upgrade

Splunk77
Explorer

I am working on upgrading an instance of heavy forwarder that is running an out of support version of 7.3.3. In order to upgrade this to 9.0.1, is there another version level this must be upgraded to prior to bringing it to version 9.0.1? I searched for upgrade path and no luck. 

 

Thanks.

From the Installation Manual

Upgrading Splunk Enterprise directly to version 9.0 is only supported from versions 8.1.x and higher. Upgrading a universal forwarder directly to version 9.0 is supported from versions 8.1.x and higher.
