Initially i started using Splunk 4.3.4 for my PRODUCTION machines. Now, i am using Splunk 5 in my test servers. How do i Synchronize both of these ?
Upgrade your 4.3.4 to 5.0.*, the procedure is straightforward.
Splunk admins do that every day without issues.
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/HowtoupgradeSplunk
in a nut shell :
Simply untar the file over the splunk folder on linux (make sure to use the same user than the previous owner of the files, the folder is usually /opt/splunk)
or run the rpm if you used an rpm install before (specify the exact location if you didn't use the default /opt/splunk ), or install the msi on windows.
Sorry for the confusion.
