I saw several question regarding how to modify the Decimal Character from default to something different, but I just what to know where on the Splunk config Files I could modify this.

I need to exchange the "," for ".".

I saw some examples that could be done on the search moment (https://answers.splunk.com/answers/525680/is-it-possible-to-change-the-thousand-separator-an.html)

I saw the UI Internationalization section of the Developer manual (https://answers.splunk.com/answers/290015/how-to-replace-commas-with-dots-to-match-brazilian.html)

But I just want to check the default character for thousand/decimal separator character.

Thank you.

I have several Reports and I don´t want to modify each one, that is why I would like to modify the default configuration.

good call 😄

Next time if you want to change something like that have a look here :

You can do it by configuring the locale 🙂
