ui-prefs.conf

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

ui-prefs.conf.spec

   Version 8.1.1

OVERVIEW

 This file contains descriptions of the settings that you can use to
 configure the ui for a view.

 There is a ui-prefs.conf in $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 ui-prefs.conf in
 the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/<app_name>/local/ directory. Then add the specific 
 settings that you want to customize to the local configuration file.
 For examples, see ui-prefs.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, settings are combined. In the case of
     multiple definitions of the same setting, the last definition in the
     file takes precedence.
   * 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
