The dbx_settings.conf file contains Splunk DB Connect settings such as the $JAVA_HOME path, the JVM Options string, and Splunk data usage collection. See Configure Splunk DB Connect settings to configure your settings.

# This file configuration file must not be edited manually because others files
# must be updated to apply the modifications such as server.vmopts and commands.conf.
# This file is edited by dbx_settings.py. Please use the UI or the API to apply
# some modifications on stanzas defined below.


[java]
javaHome = <string>
# optional
# Specifies the path to Java home. The path defined will be used to resolve the
# java command location. Typically, the /bin/java or \bin\java.exe will be
# appended to this path to resolve the command location on *nix and windows
# respectively.
# If not specified the JAVA_HOME environment variable is used.
# If JAVA_HOME is also undefined, java command is directly used. In that case,
# java command must be defined in the PATH environment variable.

# Comma separated HEC token per HEC URIs
# In case a single token is provided, then it will be used for each HEC
