How to configure Splunk error pages / messages (like 404 not found)?

Hi all,

I use the web.conf file to configure login messages, ... Is it a similar method to configure error pages (like 404 not found)?
I could edit the templates in "splunk/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/lib/" but this is not an evolutive solution.

Thanks in advance for your time and help

Not sure if it helps as I have not tested it, but I found the error message under:

/opt/splunk/lib/python3.7/site-packages/splunk/appserver/mrsparkle/lib/error.py

there is a section for 404 in the script which contains:
kwargs['message']='Page not found!'

Bump this question, would also love a solution to this. Need to return a specific HTML file when i hit 404 within my app.

404 is found here on my install:

C:\Program Files\Splunk\Python-2.7\Lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\admin

Also wrapped up in code here:

C:\Program Files\Splunk\Python-2.7\Lib\site-packages\cherrypy\_cperror.py

And here:

C:\Program Files\Splunk\Python-2.7\Lib\site-packages\splunk\appserver\mrsparkle\lib\error.py

Sometimes it depends on where you are in splunk web/api/etc the message/underlying code may change. There is not a way to do this with .conf flies.

For me in 7.2 I can only find/modify it in error.py, not the rest

Hi

Can we change the error page of a particular application of Splunk?

Actually I want to change the error page of my application not all applications of splunk.

Can we do it?

Thanks in Advance.
