Disable SplunkWeb

You can use the following two methods to set SplunkWeb so that it does not start when you run Splunk:


Both of these methods require that you make changes to your web.conf file.


To re-enable SplunkWeb after setting it to be disabled, refer to the Re-enable SplunkWeb topic below.


Edit web.conf

To ensure that Splunk never starts SplunkWeb, create a $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/web.conf file with the following: 


[settings]
startwebserver = 0

Note: If you already have a $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/bundles/local/web.conf file simply insert the startwebserver = 0 inside of the [settings] stanza.


After you edit web.conf, you must restart Splunk for your changes to take effect.


Run the disable command

Disable SplunkWeb through the CLI by using the disable command. Type the following into the command line: 


./splunk disable webserver



After you execute the command, you must restart Splunk for your changes to take effect.


Re-enable SplunkWeb

There are two ways to re-enable SplunkWeb: 


./splunk enable webserver

You must restart Splunk for the changes to take effect.
