Clear client and server assets caches after customization

Static assets for apps are cached on the client and server side. If you update an item in the /appserver/static directory, you can see changes by clearing both the client and server caches. Clear the browser cache to update the client side.

To clear the server cache, use one of the following options:

  • Clear Splunk Enterprise's server-side Splunk Web resources using: _bump: 
    http://<host:mport>/<locale_string>/_bump
  • Clear all splunkd registered EAI handlers that support reload using: debug/refresh: 
    http://<host:mport>/debug/refresh
  • Set cacheEntriesLimit=0 in web.conf. This setting is recommended only for development use cases and not for production. For more information, see the web.conf spec file in the Admin Manual.
