Custom HTTP error page for Splunk Web

roychen — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 06:23:01 GMT

Hi,

Is it possible to configure Splunk Web with a custom HTTP error page? I'd like to display a custom error page in the event of e.g. HTTP 500, or HTTP 503, similar to what Apache can do.

Thanks.

Basically, Apache allows for customizable responses to be defined, and activated in the event of a server detected error or problem.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/custom-error.html

I know Splunk uses the CherryPy web server, but I have been unable to find any documentation in e.g. web.conf that states whether this functionality exists.

Just want to know if I can customize an error page in the event a user gets a HTTP 503, for example.

Roychen,

That is a static HTML string template to render errors. You can edit the template.
See appserver/mrsparkle/lib/error.py.
Since version 6.0 you can find the file under:
splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/lib/error.py

Roychen,

How did you get this resolved?
In need of something similar, on certain navigations we want to route the user to customized error page instead of Splunk out of the box 404 page.

Any suggestions?
