Configure Splunk AI Assistant for SPL
If you have administrator permissions, you can use the Settings tab of Splunk AI Assistant for SPL to configure both data sharing and the personalization preview.
The personalization preview is available beginning with version 1.0.5 of Splunk AI Assistant for SPL.
When you use Splunk AI Assistant for SPL, your Splunk platform administrator has the option to share chat history, in-product feedback, and other data with Splunk. This shared data is used to develop and improve the assistant, as well as for Splunk research and development.
Data sharing is turned on by default but you can turn data sharing off at any time. Whether data sharing is turned off or on, that setting applies at the app level, across all users, and not at the individual user level. If you opt-out of data sharing, the data collection stops, but any previously collected data remains.
You must have data sharing turned on if you want to use the thumbs up or thumbs down icons and additional fields for in-product feedback on app results.
Data sharing configuration can only be changed by those users with write permissions for Splunk AI Assistant for SPL. Turn data sharing off or on from within Splunk AI Assistant for SPL on the Settings tab. Select the box next to Share my data with Splunk as shown in the following image:

Deleting data used by the assistant
Splunk AI Assistant for SPL keeps the data used to power the service within the Splunk platform environment while running the service.
