The following are the spec and example files for global-banner.conf.

global-banner.conf.spec

   Version 8.1.1

OVERVIEW

 This file contains descriptions of the settings that you can use to
 configure a global banner at the top of every page in Splunk, above the Splunk bar.

 Each stanza controls different search commands settings.

 There is a global-banner.conf file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/ directory.
 Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory.
 The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original
 location.

 To set custom configurations, create a new file with the name global-banner.conf in
 the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ directory. Then add the specific settings
 that you want to customize to the local configuration file.
 For examples, see global-banner.conf.example. You must restart the Splunk instance
 to enable configuration changes.

 To learn more about configuration files (including file precedence) see the
 documentation located at
