I have a question. We have an stand alone Splunk instance in AWS running version 7.2.3 and are looking to upgrade it to 9.3.0. I see to get to that version I will have to do about 4 upgrades. Also since our current version is running on RedHat version 6.4, I would have to upgrade that to get be able to run the current version What I am curious about is, AWS has a Splunk 9.3.0 AMI with BYOL. Would it be possible to migrate the data over to the new instance along with the configuration settings? This is used as a customer lab so we only have about a dozen universal forwarders pointing to this server. There are no alerts running on it and only 3 dashboards. The splunk home is stored on a separate volume than the OS so I could detach it from the old instance and attach it to the new one, or snapshot it and use the snapshot on the new one. Any suggestions for this? Thanks.
