Configure the Get Started module

Configure the Get Started module

You can only configure the Get Started module through the CLI.

Copy prefs.conf from $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/default/ into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/. Open $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/prefs.conf.

Note: DO NOT edit prefs.conf in default/. This may break your Splunk instance's web interface.

Look for this bit of code:

dashboard_customList_Getting_started_text = 
       <ul>
                <li>If you're new to Splunk, see the quick <a href="http://www.splunk.com/r/tutorial" target="splunk">tutorial</a> to learn your way around.</li>
               
                <li>You can customize the message that appears in this module with tips for your environment. <a href="http://www.splunk.com/r/get_started_dash" target="splunk">Learn how</a>.</li>
      </ul>

You can edit this part of prefs.conf to configure your Get Started module. For best practice, you can edit anything between the

tags. If there are any problems with your SplunkWeb interface, remove prefs.conf from local/ to revert to default/. Any changes require a restart of your Splunk interface.
