ui-prefs.conf

The following are the spec and example files for ui-prefs.conf.

ui-prefs.conf.spec

   Version 8.0.5

 This file contains possible attribute/value pairs you can use to configure
 the ui for a view.

 There is a ui-prefs.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default. To set
 custom configurations, place a ui-prefs.conf in
 $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/. To set custom configuration for an app, place
 ui-prefs.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/local/.  For examples, see
 ui-prefs.conf.example. You must restart Splunk software to enable configurations.

 To learn more about configuration files (including precedence), see the
 documentation located at
 http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles

GLOBAL SETTINGS

 Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
   * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top of
     the file.
   * Each conf file should have at most one default stanza. If there are
     multiple default stanzas, settings are combined. In the case of
     multiple definitions of the same attribute, the last definition in the
     file wins.
   * If a setting is defined at both the global level and in a specific
     stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.

[<stanza name>]
* The name of the xml view file
