Splunk Enterprise version 8.x

Key features of Splunk Enterprise 8.x have been migrated to use the Python 3.7 runtime. As a result, versions of Splunk IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) and Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) released before October 2019 are not compatible with Splunk Enterprise 8.x.

Splunk Enterprise version 8.x is compatible with ITSI version 4.4.0 and higher. For more information, see Python 3 migration with ITSI in the Splunk Enterprise Python 3 Migration manual.

Splunk Enterprise version 8.x is compatible with ES version 6.0.0 and higher. For more information, see Python 3 migration with ES in the Splunk Enterprise Python 3 Migration manual.
