Storage Engine did not migrate to WiredTiger after upgrade to Splunk 9.0.2?
Hello everybody!
My standalone SH Storage Engine did not migrate to WiredTiger after upgrade to Splunk 9.0.2. I then followed these steps: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.1.3/Admin/MigrateKVstore
Migrate the KV store after an upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 8.1.* or 8.2.* in a single-instance deployment
Stop Splunk Enterprise. Do not use the -f option.
Open server.conf in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ directory.
Edit the storageEngineMigration setting to match the following example:
[kvstore]
storageEngineMigration=true
Save the server.conf file.
To begin the migration, use the following command:
splunk migrate kvstore-storage-engine --target-engine wiredTiger
Starting KV Store storage engine upgrade:
Phase 1 (dump) of 2:
..ERROR: Failed to migrate to storage engine wiredTiger, reason=
How can I troubleshoot this further? Thanks.

TBH, I'm more concerned about the "connection rejected" errors than the "connecting with a certificate" warning, but either way I don't have a solution for you. I suggest double-checking all of your KVstore settings. Contact Splunk Support if you have an entitlement.

Thanks Rich.
I have opened a Support case to further investigate.

Hello Rich,
I followed the 9.0.2 steps with the same results. My mongodb.log is showing issues with SSL. Not sure why we see - connecting with a certificate with cluster membership
This is supposed to be a standalone SH. Not sure what to try next. Thanks.
