Hi ,

Splunk 9 Universal Forwarder getting "[app key value store migration collection data is not available] " error after upgrade from Splunk 8.2.4.    Splunk is not starting

 

app key value store migration collection data is not available

 

Why is UF is looking for KV Store ?

 

Any suggestion to resolve it

Hi

this is a known issue on those 9.0.x UF even it's not documented on release notes!

You can try to add this to the server.conf

[kvstore]
disabled = true

 and test it this helps.

Anyhow there shouldn't be any kvstore running on UFs! It's only needed on search heads.

I added that stanza to server.conf and I still get prompted for interactive login. No matter what I do or try, I still get prompted for Nix UF 9.0.3. Is there any update on this?
