Pull Request (PR) description
Based on Splunk docs (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/8.0.0/User/UpgradeyourForwarders) the way to upgrade forwarders is manually or with a script and that script essentially stops and then starts splunk with
--accept-license --assume-yes
. This tries to mimic that behavior. The Exec should only be triggered if the forwarder is already installed.Output from running this on my test and dev systems:
The alternative to this PR is a Bolt task that handles the upgrade but the problem there is would get complicated to support all the ways Splunk forwarders can be installed (local RPM, local yum repo, etc).
