Single server upgrade steps

Ensure that Splunk UBA is running before you upgrade, then perform the following tasks to upgrade Splunk UBA on a single server.

Splunk UBA release 5.0.3 on Linux operating systems is available in a patch installation package with the version number 5.0.3.1.

  1. Obtain the Splunk UBA Software Update and download the file to the /home/caspida directory. Select version 5.0.3 from the drop-down list. The downloadable archive file is named splunk-uba-software-upgrade-package_5031.tgz.
  2. Extract the archive with the following command:
    tar xfz /home/caspida/ splunk-uba-software-upgrade-package_5031.tgz -C /home/caspida

    The following files are extracted:

    • splunk-uba-software-update-000027-503.tgz
    • splunk-uba-software-update-000027-503.tgz.md5sum
    • uba-ext-pkgs-5.0.3.tgz
