Hello Splunker,

After I upgraded to version 9.4 , KV store does not start , I generated a new certificate by renaming server.pem and restarting the splunk , And now I see the following error on mongod.log

[conn937] SSL peer certificate validation failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain
NETWORK [conn937] Error receiving request from client: SSLHandshakeFailed: SSL peer certificate validation failed: self signed certificate in certificate chain. Ending connection from 127.0.0.1:38268 (connection id: 937)

Does anyone have any idea what could be missing ?

Appreciate your inputs in this regard,

Thank you,

Moh

Hi,
Please can you confirm if you followed the Splunk 9.4 upgrade pre-steps that are documented here?
https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.4.0/Installation/AboutupgradingREADTHISFIRST
There is a section on upgrading the kv-store before running the Splunk 9.4 upgrade.

@mohsplunking  - Errors definitely seems to be related to SSL certificate file or SSL certificate configuration in Splunk.

* Its more broader topic to tell exactly what's wrong.

* But need to check SSL certs configured on Splunk and then for those SSL files check expiration date and validation of cert file.

* Make sure Splunk config not having any issues.

I hope this helps!!!
