How can I access app's static content via Splunk endpoint?

[Leo]

I have a file inside my app that I want to expose through some Splunk endpoint. How can it be done?

To clarify, http://localhost:8000/static/app/myapp/myfile.png would work for your files in $SPLUNK_HOME/myapp/appserver/static
and
http://localhost:8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/servicesNS/admin/myapp/static/myfile.png
would work for files in $SPLUNK_HOME/myapp/static.
Make sure to use the first.

And to access the file in your myapp app, it would be:

http://localhost:8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/servicesNS/admin/myapp/static/myfile.png

Just to add, the original posted URI still works like in

http://localhost:8000/static/app/myapp/myfile.png

Five years later things have changed a bit. Now to access /etc/system/static file you'd need to go another way:

http://localhost:8000/en-US/splunkd/__raw/servicesNS/admin/search/static/myfile.png

[Leo · Accepted solution]

Assuming you have an app called 'myapp', you should place your file inside

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/myapp/appserver/static 

You can then access it from SplunkWeb: http://localhost:8000/static/app/myapp/myfile.png

Alternatively, files placed inside

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/static 

can be accessed via SplunkD: https://localhost:8089/static/myfile.png

Hi,

Thanks for ypur response.
But what about customizing the XML of a dashboard: when i try to change its code I see that they start with the tag and not (as the simple dashboard app shows). How can I change the XML correctly?

When I copy the .css file to the directory ../statis and change the xml of the dashboard I get no results...

Thanks,
Skender,

Hi Skender,

if your .css file is in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/YourApp/appserver/static directory you can use it like this in your dashboard:

<form stylesheet="YourFancy.css"  .... >

Correct. The above solution works fine. But if i create a folder inside appserver/static and place the css file inside, then how i will refer that in my dashboard.

eg) appserver/static/folder1/folder2/YourFancy.css

In Dashboard it should be like

form stylesheet="folder1/folder2/YourFancy.css"...

For me it is not working. Kindly suggest how to access a file if place inside a folder..
