Hello All,
I am looking for assistance with upgrading a single Splunk Enterprise Windows server (no cluster) that is running v6.1.3 and several Splunk Universal Forwarders running v5.02 (Windows) and v6.2.6 (Linux).
Based on my research, it looks like I would need to upgrade the Enterprise server and Universal Forwarders via the following path: Current Version -> 6.5 -> 7.2 -> 8.1
I found the following article which gives the impression that an upgrade from a version as old 6.6.x is possible:
However, I have been unable to locate any downloads for versions older than 7.2.0.
What are my options here? Am I out of luck?
Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Contact Splunk support and ask if they can provide links to the older interim versions.
Try to stay more up-to-date after this upgrade so you save yourself this pain.
