#   Version 7.3.1
#
# This file contains possible attributes and values you can use to configure
# the Splunk Web interface.
#
# There is a web.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/.  To set custom
# configurations, place a web.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/.  For
# examples, see web.conf.example.  You must restart Splunk software to enable
# configurations.

[settings]
* Set general Splunk Web configuration options under this stanza name.
* Follow this stanza name with any number of the following setting/value
  pairs.
* If you do not specify an entry for each setting, Splunk Web uses the
  default value.

startwebserver = [0 | 1]
* Set whether or not to start Splunk Web.
* 0 disables Splunk Web, 1 enables it.
* Default: 1

httpport = <positive integer>
* The TCP port on which Splunk Web listens for incoming connections.
* Must be present for Splunk Web to start.
* If omitted or 0 the server will NOT start an http listener.
* If using SSL, set to the HTTPS port number.
* Default: 8000

mgmtHostPort = <IP address:port>
* The IP address and host port of the splunkd process.
* Don't include "http[s]://" when specifying this setting. Only 
  include the IP address and port.
* Default: 0.0.0.0:8089

appServerPorts = <positive integer>[, <positive integer>, <positive integer> ...]
* Port number(s) for the python-based application server to listen on.
  This port is bound only on the loopback interface -- it is not
  exposed to the network at large.
* If set to "0", prevents the application server from
  being run from splunkd. Instead, Splunk Web starts as
  a separate python-based service which directly listens to the
  'httpport'. This is how Splunk 6.1.X and earlier behaved.
* Generally, you should only set one port number here. For most
  deployments a single application server won't be a performance
  bottleneck. However you can provide a comma-separated list of
  port numbers here and splunkd will start a load-balanced
  application server on each one.
* Set this setting to a non-zero value unless you experience
  compatibility problems. The new separate application server configuration
  is faster and supports more configuration options. Also, setting this to
  "0" can cause problems with new functionality, such as using the
  Search Head Clustering feature. See the [shclustering] stanza 
  in server.conf for more information.
* Default: 8065

splunkdConnectionTimeout = <integer>
* The amount of time, in seconds, to wait before timing out when communicating with
  splunkd.
* Must be at least 30. If not 
* Values smaller than 30 will be ignored, resulting in the use of the
  default value
* Default: 30

enableSplunkWebClientNetloc = <boolean>
* Control if the splunk web client can override the client network location
* Default: false

enableSplunkWebSSL = <boolean>
* Toggle between http or https.
* Set to true to enable https and SSL.
* Default: false

privKeyPath = <path>
* The path to the file containing the web server SSL certificate private key.
* A relative path is interpreted relative to $SPLUNK_HOME and may not refer
  outside of $SPLUNK_HOME (e.g., no ../somewhere).
* You can also specify an absolute path to an external key.
* See also 'enableSplunkWebSSL' and 'serverCert'.
* No default.

serverCert = <path>
* Full path to the Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format Splunk web server certificate file.
* The file may also contain root and intermediate certificates, if required.
  They should be listed sequentially in the order:
    [ Server SSL certificate ]
    [ One or more intermediate certificates, if required ]
    [ Root certificate, if required ]
* See also 'enableSplunkWebSSL' and 'privKeyPath'.
* Default: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/splunkweb/cert.pem

sslPassword = <password>
* Password that protects the private key specified by 'privKeyPath'.
* If encrypted private key is used, do not enable client-authentication
  on splunkd server. In [sslConfig] stanza of server.conf,
  'requireClientCert' must be 'false'.
* Optional.
* Default: The unencrypted private key.

caCertPath = <path>
* DEPRECATED.
* Use 'serverCert' instead.
* A relative path is interpreted relative to $SPLUNK_HOME and may not refer
  outside of $SPLUNK_HOME (e.g., no ../somewhere).
* No default.

requireClientCert = <boolean>
* Requires that any HTTPS client that connects to the Splunk Web HTTPS
  server has a certificate that was signed by the CA cert installed
  on this server.
* If "true", a client can connect ONLY if a certificate created by our
  certificate authority was used on that client.
* If "true", it is mandatory to configure splunkd with same root CA in server.conf.
  This is needed for internal communication between splunkd and splunkweb.
* Default: false

sslCommonNameToCheck = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* Checks the common name of the client's certificate against this list of names.
* 'requireClientCert' must be set to "true" for this setting to work.
* Optional. 
* Default: empty string (No common name checking).

sslAltNameToCheck = <alternateName1>, <alternateName2>, ...
* If this value is set, and 'requireClientCert' is set to true,
  Splunk Web will verify certificates which have a so-called
  "Subject Alternate Name" that matches any of the alternate names in this list.
  * Subject Alternate Names are effectively extended descriptive
    fields in SSL certs beyond the commonName. A common practice for
    HTTPS certs is to use these values to store additional valid
    hostnames or domains where the cert should be considered valid.
* Accepts a comma-separated list of Subject Alternate Names to consider valid.
* Optional.
* Default: empty string (no alternate name checking).

serviceFormPostURL = http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk
* DEBPRECATED.
* This setting has been deprecated since Splunk Enterprise version 5.0.3.

userRegistrationURL = https://www.splunk.com/page/sign_up
updateCheckerBaseURL = http://quickdraw.Splunk.com/js/
docsCheckerBaseURL = http://quickdraw.splunk.com/help
* These are various Splunk.com urls that are configurable.
* Setting 'updateCheckerBaseURL' to 0 stops Splunk Web from pinging
  Splunk.com for new versions of Splunk software.

enable_insecure_login = <boolean>
* Whether or not the GET-based "/account/insecurelogin" REST endpoint is enabled.
* Provides an alternate GET-based authentication mechanism.
* If "true", the following url is available:
http://localhost:8000/en-US/account/insecurelogin?loginType=splunk&username=noc&password=XXXXXXX
* If "false", only the main /account/login endpoint is available
* Default: false

simple_error_page = <boolean>
* Whether or not to display a simplified error page for HTTP errors that only contains the error status.
* If set to "true", Splunk Web displays a simplified error page for errors (404, 500, etc.) that only contain the error status.
* If set to "false", Splunk Web displays a more verbose error page that contains the home link, message, a more_results_link, crashes, referrer, debug output, and byline
* Default: false

login_content = <string>
* Lets you add custom content to the login page.
* Supports any text including HTML.
* No default.

sslVersions = <comma-separated list>
* A comma-separated list of SSL versions to support.
* The versions available are "ssl3", "tls1.0", "tls1.1", and "tls1.2"
* The special version "*" selects all supported versions. The version "tls"
  selects all versions tls1.0 or newer
* If you prefix a version with "-", it is removed from the list.
* SSLv2 is always disabled; "-ssl2" is accepted in the version list, but does nothing.
* When 'appServerPorts'="0" only supported values are  "all", "ssl3, tls"
  and "tls"
* When configured in FIPS mode, "ssl3" is always disabled regardless
  of this configuration.
* NOTE: this setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* For the default, see $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/web.conf.

supportSSLV3Only = <boolean>
* When 'appServerPorts' is set to a non-zero value (the default mode),
  this setting is DEPRECATED. SSLv2 is now always disabled.
  The exact set of SSL versions allowed is now configurable via the
  'sslVersions' setting above.
* When 'appServerPorts' is set to 0, this controls whether SSLv2
  connections are disallowed.
* Default (when 'appServerPorts' is set to 0): false

cipherSuite = <cipher suite string>
* If set, uses the specified cipher string for the HTTP server.
* If not set, uses the default cipher string provided by OpenSSL. This is
  used to ensure that the server does not accept connections using weak
  encryption protocols.
* Must specify 'dhFile' to enable any Diffie-Hellman ciphers.
* The default can vary. See the cipherSuite setting in
* $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/web.conf for the current default.

ecdhCurveName = <string>
* DEPRECATED.
* Use the 'ecdhCurves' setting instead.
* This setting specifies the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) curve to
  use for ECDH key negotiation.
* Splunk only supports named curves that have been specified by their 
  SHORT name.
* The list of valid named curves by their short and long names
  can be obtained by running this CLI command:
  $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ecparam -list_curves
* Default: empty string.

ecdhCurves = <comma-separated list>
* A list of ECDH curves to use for ECDH key negotiation.
* The curves should be specified in the order of preference.
* The client sends these curves as a part of an SSL Client Hello.
* The server supports only the curves specified in the list.
* Splunk software only supports named curves that have been specified
  by their SHORT names.
* The list of valid named curves by their short and long names can be obtained
  by running this CLI command:
  $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ecparam -list_curves
* Example setting: "ecdhCurves = prime256v1,secp384r1,secp521r1"
* The default can vary. See the 'ecdhCurves' setting in 
  $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/web.conf for the current default.

dhFile = <path>
* Full path to the Diffie-Hellman parameter file.
* Relative paths are interpreted as relative to $SPLUNK_HOME, and must
  not refer to a location outside of $SPLUNK_HOME.
* This file is required in order to enable any Diffie-Hellman ciphers.
* Default: not set.

root_endpoint = <URI_prefix_string>
* Defines the root URI path on which the appserver will listen
* For example, if you want to proxy the splunk UI at http://splunk:8000/splunkui,
  then set root_endpoint = /splunkui
* Default: /

static_endpoint = <URI_prefix_string>
* Path to static content.
* The path here is automatically appended to root_endpoint defined above
* Default: /static

static_dir = <relative_filesystem_path>
* The directory that holds the static content
* This can be an absolute URL if you want to put it elsewhere
* Default: share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed

rss_endpoint = <URI_prefix_string>
* Path to static rss content
* The path here is automatically appended to what you defined in the
  'root_endpoint' setting
* Default: /rss

embed_uri = <URI>
* Optional URI scheme/host/port prefix for embedded content
* This presents an optional strategy for exposing embedded shared
  content that does not require authentication in a reverse proxy/single
  sign on environment.
* Default: empty string, resolves to the client 
  window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.host

embed_footer = <html_string>
* A block of HTML code that defines the footer for an embedded report.
* Any valid HTML code is acceptable.
* Default: "splunk>"

* We currently require a min baseline of Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124

override_JSON_MIME_type_with_text_plain = <boolean>
* Whether or not to override the MIME type for JSON data served up
  by Splunk Web endpoints with content-type="text/plain; charset=UTF-8"
* If "true", Splunk Web endpoints (other than proxy) that serve JSON data will
  serve as "text/plain; charset=UTF-8"
* If "false", Splunk Web endpoints that serve JSON data will serve as "application/json; charset=UTF-8"

enable_proxy_write = <boolean>
* Indicates if the /splunkd proxy endpoint allows POST operations.
* If "true", both GET and POST operations are proxied through to splunkd.
* If "false", only GET operations are proxied through to splunkd.
* Setting to "false" prevents many client-side packages (such as the
  Splunk JavaScript SDK) from working correctly.
* Default: true

js_logger_mode = [None | Firebug | Server]
* The JavaScript Logger mode.
* Available modes: None, Firebug, Server
* Mode None: Does not log anything.
* Mode Firebug: Use firebug by default if it exists, or defer to the older
  less promiscuous version of firebug lite.
* Mode Server: Log to a defined server endpoint.
* See js/logger.js Splunk.Logger.Mode for mode implementation details and if
  you would like to author your own.
* Default: None

* Default: 100

ui_inactivity_timeout = <integer>
* The length of time lapsed, in minutes, for notification when
  there is no user interface clicking, mouseover, scrolling, or resizing.
* Notifies client side pollers to stop, resulting in sessions expiring at
  the 'tools.sessions.timeout' value.
* If less than 1, results in no timeout notification ever being triggered
  (Sessions stay alive for as long as the browser is open).
* Default: 60

js_no_cache = <boolean>
* DEPRECATED.
* Toggles the JavaScript cache control.
* Default: false

cacheBytesLimit = <integer>
* When appServerPorts is set to a non-zero value, splunkd can keep a
  small cache of static assets in memory. 
* When the total size of the objects in cache grows larger than this setting, 
  in bytes, splunkd begins ageing entries out of the cache.
* If set to zero, disables the cache.
* Default: 4194304

cacheEntriesLimit = <integer>
* When appServerPorts is set to a non-zero value, splunkd can keep a
  small cache of static assets in memory.  
* When the number of the objects in cache grows larger than this, 
  splunkd begins ageing entries out of the cache.
* If set to zero, disables the cache.
* Default: 16384

staticCompressionLevel = <integer>
* When appServerPorts is set to a non-zero value, splunkd can keep a
  small cache of static assets in memory.  
* Splunkd stores these assets in a compressed format, and the assets can
  usually be served directly to the web browser in compressed format.
* This level can be a number between 1 and 9.  Lower numbers use less
  CPU time to compress objects, but the resulting compressed objects
  will be larger.
* There is not much benefit to decreasing the value of this setting from
  its default. Not much CPU time is spent compressing the objects.
* Default: 9

enable_autocomplete_login = <boolean>
* Indicates if the main login page lets browsers autocomplete the username.
* If "true", browsers may display an autocomplete drop down in the username field.
* If "false", browsers may not show autocomplete drop down in the username field.
* Default: false

verifyCookiesWorkDuringLogin = <boolean>
* Normally, the login page makes an attempt to see if cookies work
  properly in the user's browser before allowing them to log in. 
* If you set this to "false", this check is skipped.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* Do not set to "false" in normal operations.
* Default: true  

minify_js = <boolean>
* Whether the static JavaScript files for modules are consolidated and minified.
* Setting this to "true" improves client-side performance by reducing the number of HTTP
  requests and the size of HTTP responses.

minify_css = <boolean>
* Indicates whether the static CSS files for modules are consolidated and
  minified
* Setting this to "true" improves client-side performance by reducing the number of HTTP
  requests and the size of HTTP responses.
* Due to browser limitations, disabling this when using Internet Explorer 
  version 9 and earlier might result in display problems.

trap_module_exceptions = <boolean>
* Whether or not the JavaScript for individual modules is wrapped in a try/catch
* If "true", syntax errors in individual modules do not cause the UI to
  hang, other than when using the module in question.
* Set to "false" when developing apps.

enable_pivot_adhoc_acceleration = <boolean>
* DEPRECATED in version 6.1 and later, use 'pivot_adhoc_acceleration_mode'
  instead
* Whether or not the pivot interface uses its own ad-hoc acceleration
  when a data model is not accelerated.
* If "true", the pivot interface uses ad-hoc acceleration to make reporting 
  in pivot faster and more responsive.
* In situations where data is not stored in time order, or where the majority
  of events are far in the past, disabling this behavior can improve the
  pivot experience.

pivot_adhoc_acceleration_mode = [Elastic | AllTime | None]
* Specifies the type of ad-hoc acceleration used by the pivot interface when a
  data model is not accelerated.
* If "Elastic", the pivot interface only accelerates the time range
  specified for reporting, and dynamically adjusts when this time range
  is changed.
* If "AllTime", the pivot interface accelerates the relevant data over all
  time. This makes the interface more responsive to time-range changes
  but places a larger load on system resources.
* If "None", the pivot interface does not use any acceleration. This means
  any change to the report requires restarting the search.
* Default: Elastic

jschart_test_mode = <boolean>
* Whether or not the JSChart module runs in Test Mode.
* If "true", JSChart module attaches HTML classes to chart elements for
  introspection.
* This negatively impacts performance and should be disabled unless you
  are actively using JSChart Test Mode.

#
# To avoid browser performance impacts, the JSChart library limits
# the amount of data rendered in an individual chart.

jschart_truncation_limit = <integer>
* Cross-broswer truncation limit.
* If set, takes precedence over the browser-specific limits below

jschart_truncation_limit.chrome = <integer>
* Chart truncation limit. 
* For Chrome only.
* Default: 50000

jschart_truncation_limit.firefox = <integer>
* Chart truncation limit.
* For Firefox only.

* Chart truncation limit.
* For Safari only.
* Default: 50000

jschart_truncation_limit.ie11 = <integer>
* Chart truncation limit.
* For Internet Explorer version 11 only
* Default: 50000

jschart_series_limit = <integer>
* Chart series limit for all browsers.
* Default: 100

jschart_results_limit = <integer>
* DEPRECATED.
* Use 'data_sources.primary.params.count' in visualizations.conf instead.
* Chart results per series limit for all browsers.
* Overrides the results per series limit for individual visualizations.
* Default: 10000

choropleth_shape_limit = <integer>
* Choropleth map shape limit for all browsers.
* Default: 10000

dashboard_html_allow_inline_styles = <boolean>
* Whether or not to allow style attributes from inline HTML elements in dashboards.
* If "false", style attributes from inline HTML elements in dashboards will be removed 
  to prevent potential attacks.
* Default: true

dashboard_html_allow_iframes = <boolean>
* Whether or not to allow iframes from HTML elements in dashboards.
* If "false", iframes from HTML elements in dashboards will be removed to prevent
  potential attacks.
* Default: true

splunk_dashboard_app_name = <string>
* Please do not change.
* Set the name for the Splunk Dashboard App.
* Default: splunk-dashboard-app

max_view_cache_size = <integer>
* The maximum number of views to cache in the appserver.
* Default: 1000

pdfgen_is_available = [0 | 1]
* Specifies whether Integrated PDF Generation is available on this search
  head.
* This is used to bypass an extra call to splunkd.
* Default (on platforms where node is supported): 1 
* Default (on platforms where node is not supported): 0

version_label_format = <printf_string>
* Internal configuration.
* Overrides the version reported by the UI to *.splunk.com resources
* Default: %s

auto_refresh_views = [0 | 1]
* Specifies whether the following actions cause the appserver to ask splunkd
  to reload views from disk.
  * Logging in through Splunk Web
  * Switching apps
  * Clicking the Splunk logo
* Default: 0

* adds a X-Frame-Options header set to "SAMEORIGIN" to every response served
* by cherrypy
* Default: true

#
# Single Sign On (SSO)
#

remoteUser = <http_header_string>
* Remote user HTTP header sent by the authenticating proxy server.
* This header should be set to the authenticated user.
* CAUTION: There is a potential security concern regarding the
  treatment of HTTP headers.
* Your proxy provides the selected username as an HTTP header as specified
  above.
* If the browser or other HTTP agent were to specify the value of this
  header, probably any proxy would overwrite it, or in the case that the
  username cannot be determined, refuse to pass along the request or set
  it blank.
* However, Splunk Web (specifically, cherrypy) normalizes headers containing 
  the dash and the underscore to the same value. For example, USER-NAME and
  USER_NAME are treated as the same in Splunk Web.
* This means that if the browser provides REMOTE-USER and Splunk Web accepts
  REMOTE_USER, theoretically the browser could dictate the username.
* In practice, however, the proxy adds its headers last, which causes them 
  to take precedence, making the problem moot.
* See also the 'remoteUserMatchExact' setting which can enforce more exact
  header matching when running with 'appServerPorts' enabled.
* Default: 'REMOTE_USER'

remoteGroups = <http_header_string>
* Remote groups HTTP header name sent by the authenticating proxy server.
* This value is used by Splunk Web to match against the header name.
* The header value format should be set to comma-separated groups that
  the user belongs to.
* Example of header value: Products,Engineering,Quality Assurance
* No default.

remoteGroupsQuoted = <boolean>
* Whether or not the group header value can be comma-separated quoted entries.
* This setting is considered only when 'remoteGroups' is set.
* If "true", the group header value can be comma-separated quoted entries. 
* NOTE: Entries themselves can contain commas.
* Example of header value with quoted entries:
  "Products","North America, Engineering","Quality Assurance"
* Default: false (group entries should be without quotes.)

remoteUserMatchExact = [0 | 1]
* Whether or not to consider dashes and underscores in a remoteUser header 
  to be distinct.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* When set to "1", considers dashes and underscores distinct (so
  "Remote-User" and "Remote_User" are considered different headers.)
* When set to 0, dashes and underscores are not considered to be distinct, 
  to retain compatibility with older versions of Splunk software. 
* Set to 1 when you set up SSO with 'appServerPorts' enabled.
* Default: 0

remoteGroupsMatchExact = [0 | 1]
* Whether or not to consider dashes and underscores in a remoteGroup header
  to be distinct.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* When set to 1, considers dashes and underscores distinct (so 
  "Remote-Groups" and "Remote_Groups" are considered different headers)
* When set to 0, dashes and underscores are not considered to be distinct,
  to retain compatibility with older versions of Splunk software.
* Set to 1 when you set up SSO with 'appServerPorts' enabled.
* Default: 0

SSOMode = [permissive | strict]
* Whether SSO behaves in either permissive or strict mode.
* When set to "permissive": Requests to Splunk Web that originate from an 
  untrusted IP address are redirected to a login page where they can log into 
  Splunk Web without using SSO.
* When set to "strict": All requests to Splunk Web will be restricted to those 
  originating from a trusted IP except those to endpoints that do not require
  authentication.
* Default: strict

trustedIP = <ip_address>
* The IP address of the authenticating proxy (trusted IP).
* Splunk Web verifies it is receiving data from the proxy host for all
  SSO requests.
* Set to a valid IP address to enable SSO.
* If 'appServerPorts' is set to a non-zero value, this setting can accept a
  richer set of configurations, using the same format as the 'acceptFrom'
  setting.
* Default: not set; the normal value is the loopback address (127.0.0.1).

allowSsoWithoutChangingServerConf = [0 | 1]
* Whether or not to allow SSO without setting the 'trustedIP' setting in
  server.conf as well as in web.conf.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* If set to 1, enables web-based SSO without a 'trustedIP' setting configured
  in server.conf.
* Default: 0

testing_endpoint = <relative_uri_path>
* The root URI path on which to serve Splunk Web unit and
  integration testing resources.
* NOTE: This is a development only setting, do not use in normal operations.
* Default: /testing

testing_dir = <relative_file_path>
* The path relative to $SPLUNK_HOME that contains the testing
  files to be served at endpoint defined by 'testing_endpoint'.
* NOTE: This is a development only setting, do not use in normal operations.
* Default: share/splunk/testing

ssoAuthFailureRedirect = <scheme>://<URL>
* The redirect URL to use if SSO authentication fails.
* Examples:
  * http://www.example.com
  * https://www.example.com
* Default: empty string; Splunk Web shows the default unauthorized error
  page if SSO authentication fails.

# Results export server config

export_timeout = <integer>
* When exporting results, the number of seconds the server waits before
  closing the connection with splunkd. 
* If you do not set a value for export_timeout, Splunk Web uses the value
  for the 'splunkdConnectionTimeout' setting.
* Set 'export_timeout' to a value greater than 30 in normal operations.
* No default.

#
# cherrypy HTTP server config
#

server.thread_pool = <integer>
* The minimum number of threads the appserver is allowed to maintain.
* Default: 20

* The maximum number of spare threads the appserver keeps idle.
* Default: 10

server.socket_host = <ip_address>
* Host values may be any IPv4 or IPv6 address, or any valid hostname.
* The string 'localhost' is a synonym for '127.0.0.1' (or '::1', if your
  hosts file prefers IPv6). 
* The string '0.0.0.0' is a special IPv4 entry meaning "any active interface"
  (INADDR_ANY), and "::" is the similar IN6ADDR_ANY for IPv6.
* Default (if 'listenOnIPV6' is set to "no": 0.0.0.0
* Default (otherwise): "::"

server.socket_timeout = <integer>
* The timeout, in seconds, for accepted connections between the browser and
  Splunk Web
* Default: 10

listenOnIPv6 = <no | yes | only>
* By default, Splunk Web listens for incoming connections using
  IPv4 only.
* To enable IPv6 support in splunkweb, set this to "yes". Splunk Web
  simultaneously listens for connections on both IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
* To disable IPv4 entirely, set to "only", which causes SPlunk Web 
  to exclusively accept connections over IPv6.
* To listen on an IPV6 address, also set 'server.socket_host' to "::".

max_upload_size = <integer>
* The hard maximum limit, in megabytes, of uploaded files.
* Default: 500

log.access_file = <filename>
* The HTTP access log filename.
* This file is written in the default $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log directory.
* Default: web_access.log

log.access_maxsize = <integer>
* The maximum size, in bytes, that the web_access.log file can be.
* Comment out or set to 0 for unlimited file size.
* Splunk Web rotates the file to web_access.log.0 after the 'log.access_maxsize' is reached.
* See the 'log.access_maxfiles' setting to limit the number of backup files
  created.
* Default: 0 (unlimited size).

log.access_maxfiles = <integer>
* The maximum number of backup files to keep after the web_access.log
  file has reached its maximum size.
* CAUTION: Setting this to very high numbers (for example, 10000) can affect
  performance during log rotation.
* Default (if 'access_maxsize' is set): 5

log.error_maxsize = <integer>
* The maximum size, in bytes, the web_service.log can be.
* Comment out or set to 0 for unlimited file size.
* Splunk Web rotates the file to web_service.log.0 after the
  max file size is reached.
* See 'log.error_maxfiles' to limit the number of backup files created.
* Default: 0 (unlimited file size).

log.error_maxfiles = <integer>
* The maximum number of backup files to keep after the web_service.log
  file has reached its maximum size.
* CAUTION: Setting this to very high numbers (for example, 10000) can affect
  performance during log rotations
* Default (if 'access_maxsize' is set): 5

  exceptions.
* Default: true

engine.autoreload_on = <boolean>
* Whether or not the appserver will auto-restart if it detects a python file
  has changed.
* Default: false

tools.sessions.on = true
* Whether or not user session support is enabled.
* Always set this to true.

tools.sessions.timeout = <integer>
* The number of minutes of inactivity before a user session is
  expired.
* The countdown for this setting effectively resets every minute through 
  browser activity until the 'ui_inactivity_timeout' setting is reached.
* Use a value of 2 or higher, as a value of 1 causes a race condition with
  the browser refresh, producing unpredictable behavior.
* Low values are not useful except for testing.
* Default: 60

tools.sessions.restart_persist = <boolean>
* Whether or not the session cookie is deleted from the browser when the
  browser quits.
* If set to "false", then the session cookie is deleted from the browser
  upon the browser quitting.
* If set to "true", then sessions persist across browser restarts, assuming 
  the 'tools.sessions.timeout' has not been reached.
* Default: true

tools.sessions.httponly = <boolean>
* Whether or not the session cookie is available to running JavaScript scripts.
* If set to "true", the session cookie is not available to running JavaScript
  scripts. This improves session security.
* If set to "false", the session cookie is available to running JavaScript
  scripts.
* Default: true

tools.sessions.secure = <boolean>
* Whether or not the browser must transmit session cookies over an HTTPS 
  connection when Splunk Web is configured to serve requests using HTTPS
  (the 'enableSplunkWebSSL' setting is "true".)
* If set to "true" and 'enableSplunkWebSSL' is also "true", then the
  browser must transmit the session cookie over HTTPS connections.
  This improves session security.
* See the 'enableSplunkWebSSL' setting for details on configuring HTTPS
  session support.
* Default: true

tools.sessions.forceSecure = <boolean>
* Whether or not the secure bit of a session cookie that has been sent
  over HTTPS is set.
* If a client connects to a proxy server over HTTPS, and the back end
  connects to Splunk over HTTP, then setting this to "true" forces the
  session cookie being sent back to the client over HTTPS to have the
  secure bit set.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* Default: false

response.timeout = <integer>
* The timeout, in seconds, to wait for the server to complete a
  response.
* Some requests, such as uploading large files, can take a long time.
* Default: 7200 (2 hours).

tools.sessions.storage_type = [file]
tools.sessions.storage_path = <filepath>
* Specifies the session information storage mechanisms.
* Set 'tools.sessions.storage_type' and 'tools.sessions.storage_path' to 
  use RAM based sessions instead.
* Use an absolute path to store sessions outside of $SPLUNK_HOME.
* Default: storage_type=file, storage_path=var/run/splunk

tools.decode.on = <boolean>
* Whether or not all strings that come into CherryPy controller methods are
  decoded as unicode (assumes UTF-8 encoding).
* CAUTION: Setting this to false will likely break the application, as
  all incoming strings are assumed to be unicode.
* Default: true

tools.encode.on = <boolean>
* Whether or not to encode all controller method response strings into 
  UTF-8 str objects in Python.
* CAUTION: Disabling this will likely cause high byte character encoding to
  fail.
* Default: true

tools.encode.encoding = <codec>
* Forces all outgoing characters to be encoded into UTF-8.
* This setting only takes effect when 'tools.encode.on' is set to "true".
* By setting this to "utf-8", CherryPy default behavior of observing the
  Accept-Charset header is overwritten and forces utf-8 output. 
* Only change this if you know a particular browser installation must 
  receive some other character encoding (Latin-1 iso-8859-1, etc)
* CAUTION: Change this setting at your own risk.
* Default: utf-8

tools.proxy.on = <boolean>
* Used for running Apache as a proxy for Splunk Web, typically for SSO
  configurations. 
* Search the CherryPy website for "apache proxy" for more
  information.
* For Apache 1.x proxies only, set to "true". This configuration tells
  CherryPy (the Splunk Web HTTP server) to look for an incoming
  X-Forwarded-Host header and to use the value of that header to
  construct canonical redirect URLs that include the proper host name. For
  more information, refer to the CherryPy documentation on running behind an
  Apache proxy. This setting is only necessary for Apache 1.1 proxies. 
* For all other proxies, you must set to "false".
* Default: false

tools.proxy.base = <scheme>://<URL>
* The proxy base URL in Splunk Web.
* Default: empty string

pid_path = <filepath>
* Specifies the path to the Process IDentification (pid) number file.
* Must be set to "var/run/splunk/splunkweb.pid".
* CAUTION: Do not change this parameter.

enabled_decomposers = <intention> [, <intention>]...
* Added in Splunk 4.2 as a short term workaround measure for apps which
  happen to still require search decomposition, which is deprecated
  with 4.2.
* Search decomposition will be entirely removed in a future release.
* A comma-separated list of allowed intentions.
* Modifies search decomposition, which is a Splunk Web internal behavior.
* Can be controlled on a per-app basis.
* If set to an empty string, no search decomposition occurs, which causes
  some usability problems with Report Builder.
* The current possible values are: addcommand, stats, addterm, addtermgt,
  addtermlt, setfields, excludefields, audit, sort, plot
* Default: "plot", leaving only the plot intention enabled.

simple_xml_perf_debug = <boolean>
* Whether or not Simple XML dashboards log performance metrics to the
  browser console.
* If set to "true", Simple XML dashboards log some performance metrics to
  the browser console.
* Default: false

job_min_polling_interval = <integer>
* The minimum polling interval, in milliseconds, for search jobs.
* This is the intial wait time for fetching results.
* The poll period increases gradually from the minimum interval
  to the maximum interval when search is in a queued or parsing 
  state (and not a running state) for some time.
* Set this value between 100 and 'job_max_polling_interval' milliseconds.
* Default: 100

job_max_polling_interval = <integer>
* The maximum polling interval, in milliseconds, for search jobs.
* This is the maximum wait time for fetching results.
* In normal operations, set to 3000.
* Default: 1000

acceptFrom = <network_acl> ...

* Lists a set of networks or addresses from which to accept connections.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* Separate multiple rules with commas or spaces.
* Each rule can be in one of the following formats:
    1. A single IPv4 or IPv6 address (examples: "10.1.2.3", "fe80::4a3")
    2. A Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block of addresses
       (examples: "10/8", "192.168.1/24", "fe80:1234/32")
    3. A DNS name, possibly with a "*" used as a wildcard
       (examples: "myhost.example.com", "*.splunk.com")
    4. "*", which matches anything
* You can also prefix an entry with '!' to cause the rule to reject the
  connection. The input applies rules in order, and uses the first one that
  matches.
  For example, "!10.1/16, *" allows connections from everywhere except
  the 10.1.*.* network.
* Default: "*" (accept from anywhere)

maxThreads = <integer>
* The number of threads that can be used for active HTTP transactions.
* This setting only takes effect when appServerPorts is set to a
  non-zero value.
* This value can be limited to constrain resource usage.
* If set to 0, a limit is automatically picked based on 
  estimated server capacity.
* If set to a negative number, no limits are enforced.
* Default: 0

maxSockets = <integer>
* The number of simultaneous HTTP connections that Splunk Web can accept.
* This setting only takes effect when appServerPorts is set to a
  non-zero value.
* This value can be limited to constrain resource usage.
* If set to 0, a limit is automatically picked based on estimated 
  server capacity.
* If set to a negative number, no limits are enforced.
* Default: 0

keepAliveIdleTimeout = <integer>
* How long, in seconds, that the Splunk Web HTTP server lets a keep-alive
  connection remain idle before forcibly disconnecting it.
* If this number is less than 7200, it will be set to 7200.
* Default: 7200

busyKeepAliveIdleTimeout = <integer>
* How long, in seconds, that the Splunk Web HTTP server lets a keep-alive
  connection remain idle while in a busy state before forcibly
  disconnecting it.
* CAUTION: Too large a value that can result in file descriptor exhaustion
  due to idling connections.
* If this number is less than 12, it will be set to 12.
* Default: 12

forceHttp10 = auto|never|always
* How the HTTP server deals with HTTP/1.0 support for incoming
  clients.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* When set to "always", the REST HTTP server does not use some
  HTTP 1.1 features such as persistent connections or chunked
  transfer encoding.
* When set to "auto", it limits HTTP 1.1 features only if the 
  client sent no User-Agent header, or if the user agent is known 
  to have bugs in its HTTP/1.1 support.
* When set to "never", it always allows HTTP 1.1, even to
  clients it suspects might be buggy.
* Default: auto

crossOriginSharingPolicy = <origin_acl> ...
* A list of HTTP Origins for which to return Access-Control-Allow-* 
  (CORS) headers.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* These headers tell browsers that Splunk Web trusts web applications
  at those sites to make requests to the REST interface.
* The origin is passed as a URL without a path component (for example
  "https://app.example.com:8000")
* This setting can take a list of acceptable origins, separated
  by spaces and/or commas
* Each origin can also contain wildcards for any part. Examples:
  *://app.example.com:* (either HTTP or HTTPS on any port)
  https://*.example.com (any host under example.com, including example.com itself)
* An address can be prefixed with a '!' to negate the match, with
  the first matching origin taking precedence. For example,
  "!*://evil.example.com:* *://*.example.com:*" to not avoid
  matching one host in a domain.
* "*" can also be used to match all origins.
* Default: empty string

allowSslCompression = <boolean>
* Whether or not the server lets clients negotiate SSL-layer data
  compression.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set
  to a non-zero value. When 'appServerPorts' is zero or not set, this setting
  is "true".
* If set to "true", the server lets clients negotiate SSL-layer
  data compression.
* The HTTP layer has its own compression layer which is usually sufficient.
* Default (if 'appServerPorts' is set and not 0): false
* Default (if 'appServerPorts' is 0 or not set): true

allowSslRenegotiation = <boolean>
* Whether or not the server lets clients renegotiate SSL connections.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* In the SSL protocol, a client may request renegotiation of the connection
  settings from time to time.
* Setting this to "false" causes the server to reject all renegotiation
  attempts, breaking the connection.
* This limits the amount of CPU a single TCP connection can use, but it
  can cause connectivity problems especially for long-lived connections.
* Default: true

sendStrictTransportSecurityHeader = <boolean>
* Whether or not the REST interface sends a "Strict-Transport-Security"
  header with all responses to requests made over SSL.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* If set to "true", the REST interface sends a "Strict-Transport-Security"
  header with all responses to requests made over SSL.
* This can help avoid a client being tricked later by a Man-In-The-Middle
  attack to accept a non-SSL request. 
* This requires a commitment that no non-SSL web hosts will ever be
  run on this hostname on any port. For example, if splunkweb is in default
  non-SSL mode this can break the ability of browser to connect to it. 
* Enable this setting with caution.
* Default: false

dedicatedIoThreads = <integer>
* The number of dedicated threads to use for HTTP input/output operations.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* If set to zero, HTTP I/O is performed in the same thread
  that accepted the TCP connection.
* If set set to a non-zero value, separate threads run
  to handle the HTTP I/O, including SSL encryption.
* Typically this does not need to be changed.  For most usage
  scenarios using the same the thread offers the best performance.
* Default: 0

replyHeader.<name> = <string>
* Adds a static header to all HTTP responses that this server generates.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* For example, "replyHeader.My-Header = value" causes Splunk Web to include
  the response header "My-Header: value" in the reply to every HTTP request
  to it.
* No default.

termsOfServiceDirectory = <directory>
* The directory to look in for a "Terms of Service" document that each
  user must accept before logging into Splunk Web.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
  * Inside the directory the TOS should have a filename in the format
    "<number>.html"
  * <number> is in the range 1 to 18446744073709551615. 
  * The active TOS is the filename with the larger number. For example, if
    there are two files in the directory named "123.html" and "456.html", then
    456 will be the active TOS version.
  * If a user has not accepted the current version of the TOS, they must
    accept it the next time they try to log in. The acceptance times will be recorded inside a "tos.conf" file inside an app called "tos".
  * If the "tos" app does not exist, you must create it for acceptance
    times to be recorded.
  * The TOS file can either be a full HTML document or plain text, but it must
    have the ".html" suffix.
  * You do not need to restart Splunk Enterprise when adding files to the 
    TOS directory.
* Default: empty string (no TOS)

appServerProcessShutdownTimeout = <nonnegative integer>[smhd]
* The amount of time splunkd waits for a Python-based application server
  process to handle outstanding or existing requests.
* This setting only takes effect when 'appServerPorts' is set to a
  non-zero value.
* If a Python-based application server process "outlives" this timeout,
  splunkd forcibly terminates the process.
* Default: '10m' (10 minutes).

enableWebDebug = <boolean>
* Whether or not the debug REST endpoints are accessible, for example., 
  /debug/**splat.
* Default: false

allowableTemplatePaths =  <directory> [, <directory>]...
* A comma-separated list of template paths that may be added to
  the template lookup whitelist.
* Paths are relative to $SPLUNK_HOME.
* Default: empty string

  * Place the favicon image file in the default or manual location:
    * Default destination folder: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/customfavicon.
      * Example: If your favicon image is located at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/customfavicon/favicon.ico, set 'customFavicon' to "customfavicon/favicon.ico".
    * Manual location: Place the file in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<myApp>/appserver/static/<pathToMyFile>, and set 'customFavicon' to
    "<myApp:pathToMyFile>".
* Default: not set, Splunk Web uses the Splunk favicon.

* Customizes the logo image on the login page. 
* If no image file, the logo Default: the Splunk logo.
* Supported images are:
  * Full URL image file (secured or not secured), such as https://www.splunk.com/logo.png or http://www.splunk.com/logo.png.
  * Image file, such as .jpg or .png. All image formats are supported.
    * Place logo image file in default or manual location:
      * Default destination folder: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/logincustomlogo.
        * Example: If your logo image is located at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/logincustomlogo/logo.png, type loginCustomLogo = logincustomlogo/logo.png.
      * Manual location: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<myApp>/appserver/static/<pathToMyFile>, and type loginCustomLogo = <myApp:pathToMyFile>.
* The maximum image size is 485px wide and 100px high. If the image exceeds these limits, the image is automatically resized.
* Default: not set, Splunk Web uses the Splunk logo.

  * Using the CLI or a text editor:
    * Set 'loginBackgroundImageOption' to "custom".
    * Place the custom image file in the default or manual location:
      * Default destination folder: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/logincustombg.
        * Example: If your image is located at $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/search/appserver/static/logincustombg/img.png, set
        'loginCustomBackgroundImage' to "logincustombg/img.png".
      * Manual location: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<myApp>/appserver/static/<pathToMyFile>, and set 'loginCustomBackgroundImage' to
      "<myApp:pathToMyFile>".
    * The login page background image updates automatically.
* Default: not set (If no custom image is used, the default Splunk background image displays).

loginFooterOption = [default | custom | none]
* Controls display of the footer message of the login page.
* "default" displays the Splunk copyright text.
* "custom" uses the footer text defined by the loginFooterText setting.
* "none" removes any footer text on the login page.

* Set to -1 to display all the available reports in the navigation menu.
* NOTE: Setting to either -1 or a value that is higher than the default might
  result in decreased browser performance due to listing large numbers of
  available reports in the drop-down menu.
* Default: 500

# The Django bindings component and all associated [framework] settings have been 
# removed. Configuring these settings no longer has any effect, and Splunk Enterprise
# ignores any existing settings that are related to the component.

#
# custom cherrypy endpoints
#

[endpoint:<python_module_name>]
* Registers a custom python CherryPy endpoint.
* The expected file must be located at:
  $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<APP_NAME>/appserver/controllers/<PYTHON_NODULE_NAME>.py

# exposed splunkd REST endpoints
#
[expose:<unique_name>]
* Registers a splunkd-based endpoint that should be made available to the UI
  under the "/splunkd" and "/splunkd/__raw" hierarchies.
* The name of the stanza does not matter as long as it begins with "expose:"
* Each stanza name must be unique.

pattern = <url_pattern>
