What's Splunk Web?

Splunk Web is Splunk's dynamic and interactive graphical user interface. Accessed via a Web browser, Splunk Web is the primary interface used to investigate problems, report on results, and manage one or more Splunk deployment. Refer to the system requirements for a list of supported operating systems and browsers.


To launch Splunk Web, navigate to:

http://<mysplunkhost>:8000

Use whatever host and port you chose during installation. The default port is 8000, but if that port was already in use, the installer asked you to pick a different one.

The first time you log in to Splunk with an Enterprise license, use username admin and password changeme. Splunk with a free license does not support access controls or multiple user accounts.

The Launcher

The first time you launch Splunk Web, you'll see the Launcher. This interface lets you choose an app from the list of apps currently available to you. In particular, you might want to check out the "Getting Started" app, but depending on what OS you're running, you'll also see an app that's specfic to Windows or UNIX. You can also visit the Splunk App Storeto browse and download more apps.
