List of ITE Work configuration files

The following is a list of configuration files. All files are located under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/. Most .conf files have accompanying spec and example files located in the README folder that list all supporting attributes. Contact Support before editing a conf file that does not have an accompanying spec or example file.

If you are using Splunk Cloud, you can't edit a .conf file directly. For any task that requires editing a .conf file, submit a ticket using the Support Portal and Splunk Support will work with you to arrange a maintenance window.

Caution: Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory. Default files must remain intact and in their original location. The upgrade process overwrites the default directory, so any changes that you make in the default directory are lost on upgrade. Create and edit your files in a local directory, for example $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/local. Local directories are not overwritten during upgrades. For more information, see Configuration file directories in the Admin manual for Splunk Enterprise.

Because Splunk IT Essentials Work is a free version of Splunk IT Service Intelligence, it uses many of the same configuration files. Clicking on links in the following table will open configuration file descriptions in the ITSI documentation. If a configuration file does not apply to the most recent version of ITSI or ITE Work, a banner notice at the top of the page for that configuration file says so.
