Sunsetting of the Upgrade Readiness App
On April 28, 2025, Splunk announced that it is ending its support of the Upgrade Readiness App (URA). It will no longer be updated and will be removed from future versions of Splunk platform.
This does not affect your Splunk platform deployment in any way beyond the Upgrade Readiness App no longer functioning. You do not have to do anything to your Splunk platform deployment with regard to the sunsetting of the Upgrade Readiness App.
What does "end of sale" and "end of life" mean for URA?
End of sale means that Splunk no longer provides feature updates or bug fixes for URA through Splunkbase nor through Splunk platform updates.
URA reached the end of sale as scheduled on April 28, 2025.
End of life for URA means that Splunk fully removes all functionality from URA in all future versions of Splunk platform. While the app still exists in Splunk platform, it is an empty placeholder only. You cannot use it at all.
URA reached the end of life as scheduled with the release of Splunk Enterprise 10.0.
