It only lists up 250 maximum.
How can I change it?

[sylim_splunk · Accepted solution]

Find the steps below;

• Go to $SPLUNK_HOME

• Go to etc/system/default/data/ui/views/ and look for job_management.xml file (Do not make any changes to this file)

• Go to etc/system/local/ directory

• Make a directory called data inside local directory if not already existing

• Make a directory called ui inside data directory

• Make a directory called views inside ui directory

• Now, copy the job_management.xml file inside views directory

The path of copied file should look like etc/system/local/data/ui/views/job_management.xml

• Open job_management.xml in editor and go to line number: 41 where you will find something like this:

So, here change the count value of 250 to something (for eg. 500) that you want (this count is the limit for listing the users)

• Save the changes and restart splunk
