How can we change SPLUNK web url?

[AKG1_old1]

Hello guys,

I want to change the web url of splunk server so server name is invisible from end users.

Bydefault, web url is set to

http://:8080

and I want to change it to say

http://splunkserver:8080

Could you please let me know how to do it.

Option 1: Create a DNS Alias for your server and use that in your Splunk URL.
Option 2: Setup a Load Balancer of some sort in front of the server/search head and use DNS names for your F5 endpoint.
