To migrate your KV store storage engine during your upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 9.0 or higher, first determine your deployment type. If you prefer to perform the WiredTiger migration and the upgrade to Splunk Enterprise at separate times, check the documentation for your current version of Splunk Enterprise to complete your migration before initiating your upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 9.0 or higher. Migrating your storage engine before or during upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 9.0 or higher is a best practice, but migrating immediately after upgrade is required.Īll Splunk Enterprise versions 8.1 and higher support WiredTiger, so you can consider migrating to WiredTiger before your upgrade to reduce downtime during the upgrade. Migrate to WiredTiger either before or during upgrade to Splunk Enterprise 9.0, and then upgrade to server version 4.2. Splunk Enterprise versions 9.0 and higher require the WiredTiger storage engine and server version 4.2, which significantly reduces the amount of storage you need and improves performance.
