Splunk Enterprise

Splunk Enterprise Upgrade Question.

FrankKosmicki
Engager

Hello and thank you in advance for any insight. I am working on upgrading Splunk Enterprise from 8.2.3.2 to 9.1.4. I have been digging into the release notes and want to double-check I am not missing anything significant. 

Has anyone had any issues upgrading from Splunk Enterprise 8.2.3.2 to 9.1.4?

Hi. I would thoroughly read this doc https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.1.4/Installation/AboutupgradingREADTHISFIRST

I would make sure you migrate your kvstore before going to 9.x

If you aren't a member of Splunk's Slack usergroups instance, now is a good time to join. There's a Slack channel just for 9.x upgrade issues. 

Good luck!
