Change Splunk address in Linux (Rocky 9)

limonkay — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 16:06:37 GMT

Splunk version: splunk-9.2.0.1
Host: Linux (Rocky 9)

Hello,

I am a new user testing Splunk. I installed the instance on Linux (Rocky 9). From reading various Q&A and docs, I see the location to change the instance address/IP and port is in a file within the installation directory called splunk-launch.conf, though it doesn't look like this file exists anymore.

Please guide me through changing these settings in the latest version of Splunk (9.2.0.1) in Unix CLI. My goal is to change the web interface address from http://alpha:8000 to http://beta:8000.

Thank you.

Are you adding additional ip / name to your host or just switch ip-name mapping?

@limonkay You can see the splunk-launch.conf in the /opt/splunk/etc

[root@splunk-hf-level-4 etc]# cat splunk-launch.conf
# Version 9.2.0.1

# Modify the following line to suit the location of your Splunk install.
# If unset, Splunk will use the parent of the directory containing the splunk
# CLI executable.
#
# SPLUNK_HOME=/home/build/build-home

# By default, Splunk stores its indexes under SPLUNK_HOME in the
# var/lib/splunk subdirectory. This can be overridden
# here:
#
# SPLUNK_DB=/home/build/build-home/var/lib/splunk
# Splunkd daemon name
SPLUNK_SERVER_NAME=Splunkd

# If SPLUNK_OS_USER is set, then Splunk service will only start
# if the 'splunk [re]start [splunkd]' command is invoked by a user who
# is, or can effectively become via setuid(2), $SPLUNK_OS_USER.
# (This setting can be specified as username or as UID.)
#
# SPLUNK_OS_USER
