How do you restart splunk?
(originally a response to https://answers.splunk.com/answers/386613/how-do-i-reset-the-password-if-i-do-not-remember-t.html#an...)
what is the difference between two types of restart ?
1) Settings -> Server controls
2) /opt/splunk/bin/splunk start
There is no difference assuming you mean restart
instead of start
. You can't start
via the GUI since the GUI would not be up.
/opt/splunk/bin/splunk restart
Alternative option, via the Web GUI:
Settings
-> Server controls
Hope that helps - if it does I'd be happy if you would upvote/accept this answer, so others could profit from it. 🙂
From the command line on Linux (default RHEL install location)
# /opt/splunk/bin/splunk start
