How to limit on uploading of CSV lookup by size.

Hi,
I want to restrict the upload of lookup files with a certain size, like let's say a user with some role has permission of uploading a lookup file, but I want to filter it in that role so that the user can able to upload or create a CSV lookup file but with 5MB not more than that.

Hi,

The maximum request body size is controlled globally using the web.conf default stanza max_upload_size setting: https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.4/Admin/Webconf 

A value of 5 will limit uploads to 5 MiB (5 * 1024 * 1024 bytes). The POST request will return status 413 if the content size exceeds the limit; however, no feedback will be displayed to the user.

Note this also limits the size of files uploaded using Settings > Add Data, the size of apps installed using Apps > Manage Apps, and any other large request sent to Splunk Web.

Hi, thanks for the response, but my requirement is for specific roles, don't want to change it globally.

It's only manageable globally, unfortunately.
