Hi All,

I am planning to upgrade the Enterprise Security app on our environment from 4.7.0 to 5.2.0.
Splunk Enterprise version: 7.1.2

Just wanted to understand if there is any major or specific issues that are incurred during upgrade so that I can take precautions before upgrade.

Thanks in advance.
Santosh

Thanks for all your comments. Will take care all the above points. Are you referring core to Splunk Enterprise version. It is already on 7.1.2.
