Deploy Splunk with a different context

[vikaskulkarni]

Hi All,

I am trying to deploy Splunk in a different context.

By default when I run this command

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk start --accept-license

It starts the web with "/" as a deployment web context and I can access it by http://localhost:8000/

Now, if I would like to access Splunk like this

http://localhost:8000/splunk-local, so that all the redirect URLs would look like this

http://localhost:8000/splunk-local/en-US/app/launcher/home, http://localhost:8000/splunk-local/en-US/account/login?return_to=%2Fen-US%2Fapp%2Flauncher%2Fhome

Reason for asking this question: In the Kubernetes environment, it's a bit challenging to configure Networks for applications using the default "/" as a context

Thanks

Vikas

Hey, after posting the question, I was doing some more digging and found that if I override root_endpoint value in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/web.conf, it works

# Top level name for the site

root_endpoint = /splunk-local
