How to enable Web UI in Indexer

Hi Good Morning ,

Web UI in indexer is not starting though the following setting in place in ..../system/default/web.conf

[settings]

# enable/disable the appserver
startwebserver = 1

# First party apps:
splunk_dashboard_app_name = splunk-dashboard-studio

# enable/disable splunk dashboard app feature
enable_splunk_dashboard_app_feature = true

# port number tag is missing or 0 the server will NOT start an http listener
# this is the port used for both SSL and non-SSL (we only have 1 port now).
httpport = 8000

Then added a ..../system/local/web.conf with the following to see if it enable but still the web UI is disabled:
enableSplunkWebSSL = true

Any help is greatly appreciated

@vksplunk1 did you checked the local firewalls or iptables?

if telnet is connecting on port 8000 there isn't this problem and also do check for errors in internal logs.

Use btool to see the effective settings (verify if they're not overwritten somewhere else).

Check with netstat or ss that splunkd listens on port 8000.
