Specify a proxy server
If Splunk Web is located behind a proxy server, you might have problems with Splunk Web links that attempt to access the Splunk website. For example, some Manager pages link directly to the download site for Splunk apps.
To get around this problem, you need to set the http_proxy environment variable. For permanent results, you can specify the setting in the splunk-launch.conf configuration file, located in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/ on *nix systems and %SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\ on Windows.
In splunk-launch.conf, add this attribute/value pair:
http_proxy = <IP address or host name>:<port number>
For example:
http_proxy = 10.1.8.11:8787
