I have a Splunk Enterprise instance (v7.3.4) and I am wondering if there is a way to completely disable ProxyConfig in server.conf? Every time the software restarts there's 4 informational logs in splunkd.log related to the 4 proxy settings (http_proxy, https_proxy, proxy_rules, and no_proxy), but I don't really care since I won't be enabling any outside communication. Is this required behavior or did I do something to trigger these startup messages?

Hello @ricotries,
AFAIK this function is compiled in the splunk binary, so you cannot disable it.
What you can do is to change the logging level for ProxyConfig to WARN. Create a file /opt/splunk/etc/log-local.cfg with following content:
[splunkd]
category.ProxyConfig=WARN
and restart splunk

Hello. Has anyone pushed out this configuration to Universal Forwarders using a Deployment Manager? Thanks.

What was your findings on pushing this out to a universal forwarder? I am looking at the same thing since we see this error from 3k+ forwarders. 🙂

It didn't work for the UFs (but did for Splunk servers from memory).

Is this the equivalent of filtering by severity level in syslog?
