Configure GUI Timeout

This documentation does not apply to the most recent version of Splunk. Click here for the latest version.

Configure GUI Timeout

By default the inactivity period for all user sessions is 1 hour. This setting is controlled in your $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/web.conf. If the file does not exist you will need to create it. You will need to add the line 


twistedLoginTimeout = <new value>

to the file. The value needs to be specified in seconds.
