Can Splunk Web Console through IPv6

hcwong — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:53:32 GMT

Do anyone know how to enable Splunk Web to be access via IPv6 address schema? Can dual-stack (IPv4 and IPV6) access able to be configure under web.conf? How can I do that (can some example configuration statement can be provided)?

My understanding is that Splunk does not support IPv6 as of this time.

It does now. You can enable v6 by adding ListenOnIPv6 = On to the [settings] section of your web.conf file.

(editing my previous response)

It looks like this is part of the web.conf in full now:

# Set to "yes" to enable IPv6 support, or "only" accept connection
# on IPv6 only
listenOnIPv6 = yes

Putting this here since this thread is the top result for the search. 😕
