-- **upgrade_splunk.yml** - Called by check_splunk.yml. Performs an upgrade of an existing splunk installation. Configures .bash_profile and .bashrc for splunk user (by calling configure_bash.yml), disables THP and increases ulimits (by calling configure_os.yml), disables boot-start (this addresses a bug in 7.2.x -- it gets re-enabled by a hander at the end), kills any stale splunkd processes present (by calling adhoc_kill_splunkd.yml). Note: You should NOT run the upgrade_splunk.yml task directly from a playbook. check_splunk.yml will call upgrade_splunk.yml if it determines that an upgrade is needed; It will then download and unarchive the new version of Splunk (by calling download_and_unarchive.yml), ensure that mongod is in a good stopped state (by calling adhoc_fix_mongo.yml), and will then perform post-installation tasks using the post_install.yml task.
