CLI Access

[visa87]

I am using the Splunk Web environment. I am not sure how to access the CLI. When a splunk instance is installed on a server , it means we can access that instance via web as well as CLI. Is my understanding correct or do we need seperate setup for CLI. How does it work.

Hi @visa87

The documentation on how to access the CLI based on your OS can be found here:

There are a number if commands for admin purposes.
