Upgrade old version of Splunk

[bluorbank]

Hello,

I have old version of Splunk (8.2.1, rhel7), inherited,
need perform software upgrade, prior to migrate to new rhel 8 OS. 

Seems for successful configuration migration I need first of all upgrade on old rhel7 current verion of Splunk from 8.2.1 to 9.0.6 version, unfortunately 9.0.6 is out of support and I can't download from web this old version.

would you please help me with it ?

Hi @bluorbank 

It seems like you've got a good plan regarding the upgrade path (check out https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.4.2/Installation/HowtoupgradeSplunk if you havent already seen it which might contain other useful info).

Regarding the 9.0.6 version, the latest 9.0.x version is 9.0.9 - the download links are:
