Upgrade the Splunk Add on for Microsoft Azure

The following migration guide is supported for upgrading from version 3.0.0 or later. Upgrading from any version older than 3.0.0 requires a fresh installation of version 4.0.0 or later.

A best practice for upgrading the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Azure is to remove your older version before re-installing version 4.0.0 or later of the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Azure.

1. Verify that you are running version 8.0.0 or later of the Splunk software.
2. Disable all your inputs before you upgrade the add-on. Otherwise you may see errors in the log files which may results data loss against your already configured inputs.
3. Install the Splunk Add-on for Microsoft Azure version 4.0.0 and later from the Splunk Web UI (make sure Upgrade App checkbox is selected).
4. Restart the Splunk platform.
5. Enable each desired input to start data collection.
