Hello

Which configuration path/file is used when I schedule one of my Dashboards for PDF Delivery?

Looking for this configuration line:
Dashboards-->
<My Dashboard>-->
Edit-->
Schedule PDF-->
Subject: Splunk Dashboard: '$name$'

Using Splunk Enterprise 6.3.2

The PDF configuration settings are in alert_actions.conf.

Thank you for the reply; this seems to be application wide settings.

I need the "Schedule PDF" settings for a specific dashboard.

Exactly - when the dashboard was created, PDF was scheduled as:
Subject: Splunk Alert: '$name$'

I need to change to:
Subject: Splunk Dashboard: '$name$'

Ah apologies, I see what you are asking now. See savedsearches.conf, look for action.email.subject.

Thats it, thank you!

action.email.subject = Splunk Dashboard: $name

Hi,
I want to do the same thing. But I don't understand where do I have to mention this action.email.subject = Splunk Dashboard: $name

In my savedsearches.conf file I have Summary Index Population Queries
