Disable update checker

Splunk Web is configured to check for new versions of itself and display a banner. If you are running Splunk on a LAN that is not connected to the rest of the Web, modify web.conf to disable this feature.

Note: The default web.conf is located in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/. DO NOT edit this file. Instead, copy web.conf into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/; then, edit the copy. For more information about configuration files, refer to this Admin manual topic.

To disable update checker, add the following to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/web.conf:
