Web server message

Hi,

Is there a configuration or app I can use to show a custom message in the web UI? Basically, I want to warn users of a coming service break.

Thanks.

You can add arbitrary content to the login page. Edit web.conf and update the login_content setting. From http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Webconf

login_content = <content_string>
   * Add custom content to the login page
   * Supports any text including html

Given it can be HTML, nothing is stopping you from making one long line of tag soup. It will be harder to maintain, but you can present it to you users in a fairly clean manner.

Thanks. This is certainly one option. I was kind of hoping for a separate file, so you don't have to put the entire message on one line.
