times.conf
The following are the spec and example files for times.conf
.
times.conf.spec
Version 8.1.1
OVERVIEW
This file contains possible attribute/value pairs for creating custom time ranges. Each stanza controls different search commands settings. There is a times.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 times.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 times.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 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, attributes are combined. In the case of multiple definitions of the same attribute, the last definition in the file wins. * If an attribute is defined at both the global level and in a specific stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.
[<timerange_name>]
* The token to use when accessing time ranges through the API or command line. * A times.conf file can contain multiple stanzas. label = <string> * The textual description used by the UI to reference this time range. * Required header_label = <string> * The textual description used by the UI when displaying search results in this time range. * Optional. * Default: The <timerange_name> earliest_time = <string> * The string that represents the time of the earliest event to return, inclusive. * The time can be expressed with a relative time identifier or in UNIX time. * Optional. * No default (No earliest time bound is used) latest_time = <string> * The string that represents the time of the earliest event to return, inclusive. * The time can be expressed with a relative time identifier or in UNIX time. * Optional. * NOTE: events that occur in the future (relative to the server timezone) might be returned. * No default (No latest time bound is used) order = <integer> * The key on which all custom time ranges are sorted, ascending. * The default time range selector in the UI will merge and sort all time ranges according to the 'order' key, and then alphabetically. * Optional. * Default: 0 disabled = <integer> * Specifies if the menu item is shown. Set to 1 to hide menu item. * Optional. * Default: 0 sub_menu = <submenu name> * REMOVED. This setting is no longer used. is_sub_menu = <boolean> * REMOVED. This setting is no longer used.
[settings]
* List of flags that modify the panels that are displayed in the time range picker. show_advanced = <boolean> * Specifies if the 'Advanced' panel should be displayed in the time range picker. * Optional. * Default: true show_date_range = <boolean> * Specifies if the 'Date Range' panel should be displayed in the time range picker. * Optional. * Default: true show_datetime_range = <boolean> * Specifies if the 'Date & Time Range' panel should be displayed in the time range picker. * Optional. * Default: true show_presets = <boolean> * Specifies if the 'Presets' panel should be displayed in the time range picker. * Optional. * Default: true show_realtime = <boolean> * Specifies if the 'Realtime' panel should be displayed in the time range picker. * Optional. * Default: true show_relative = <boolean> * Specifies if the 'Relative' panel should be displayed in the time range picker. * Optional. * Default: true

# Version 8.1.1 # # This is an example times.conf. Use this file to create custom time ranges # that can be used while interacting with the search system. # # To use one or more of these configurations, copy the configuration block # into times.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/. You must restart Splunk # to enable configurations. # # To learn more about configuration files (including precedence) please see # the documentation located at # http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles # Note: These are examples. Replace the values with your own customizations. # The stanza name is an alphanumeric string (no spaces) that uniquely # identifies a time range. [this_business_week] # Define the label used in the time range control label = This business week # Define the label to be used in display headers. If omitted the 'label' key # will be used with the first letter lowercased. header_label = during this business week earliest_time = +1d@w1 latest_time = +6d@w6 # Define the ordering sequence of this time range. All time ranges are # sorted numerically, ascending. If the time range is in a sub menu and not # in the main menu, this will determine the position within the sub menu. order = 110 # a time range that only has a bound on the earliest time # [last_3_hours] label = Last 3 hours header_label = in the last 3 hours earliest_time = -3h order = 30 # Use epoch time notation to define the time bounds for the Fall Semester # 2013, where earliest_time is 9/4/13 00:00:00 and latest_time is 12/13/13 # 00:00:00. # [Fall_2013] label = Fall Semester 2013 earliest_time = 1378278000 latest_time = 1386921600 # two time ranges that should appear in a sub menu instead of in the main # menu. the order values here determine relative ordering within the # submenu. # [yesterday] label = Yesterday earliest_time = -1d@d latest_time = @d order = 10 sub_menu = Other options [day_before_yesterday] label = Day before yesterday header_label = from the day before yesterday earliest_time = -2d@d latest_time = -1d@d order = 20 sub_menu = Other options # # The sub menu item that should contain the previous two time ranges. The # order key here determines the submenu opener's placement within the main # menu. # [other] label = Other options order = 202 # # Disable the realtime panel in the time range picker [settings] show_realtime = false
