Can you please tell us how to change the Splunk alert url to DNS instead of hostname to link to results?

https://aobxrfabc.amz.arfyd.com:8000/app/IDX/@go?sid=scheduler__admin__IDX__RMD57f21c7e9d1910c90_at_...

We want to change the base url to DNS like this,

https://splunk.abc.com/app/IDX/@go?sid=scheduler__admin__IDX__RMD57f21c7e9d1910c90_at_1420664100_374...

Please provide the configuration details where i can update the settings.
