Hi,
I'm currently running a very old version 3.4.9 of splunk on an old server that appears to be on its last legs.
This version currently houses some historical data that we would prefer to keep when we do a migration to the latest version of 5.0.4.
To complicate matters we will be jumping from an old windows box ( 32 bit ) to a new Linux box ( it will likely be 32 bit too and a VM )
Is it possible to migrate directly from 3 to 5?
If it is possible would it be a case of copying the existing data from the old splunk to the new ?
The new version 5 is basically a brand new installation, has no data in it and has had the license mode flipped from trial to free.
