Manage app and add-on objects

When an app or add-on is created by a Splunk user, a collection of objects is created that make up the app or add-on. These objects can include views, commands, navigation items, event types, saved searches, reports, and more. Each of these objects have permissions associated with them to determine who can view or alter them. By default, the admin user has permissions to alter all the objects in the Splunk system.

Manage app/add-on objects in Manager

To see and control the objects for all the apps on your your system, use Splunk Manager in Splunk Web.

Search for app/add-on objects

Use the Search field on the App context bar to search for strings in any field. Wildcards are supported. Splunk searches for the string you enter in all available fields by default. To search a particular field, specify that field.

View app/add-on objects

You can use Manager to view the objects in your Splunk deployment in the following ways:

Note: For information about the individual search commands on the Search command page, refer to the Search Reference Manual.

Disable an app using the CLI

To disable an app via the CLI: 

./splunk disable app [app_name] -auth <username>:<password>

Note: If you are running Splunk Free, you do not have to provide a username and password.
