You may have encountered a case where you have to update the operating system version where Splunk resides, in this case Red Hat 7.x to 9.x, is there any consideration that should be taken into account, considering that there are two instances that fulfill the indexer role and there is another cluster instance that manages both, the latter will not be updated.
