Solved: Splunk Web - How to disable tracebacks?

araitz · ‎12-29-2011

Every once in a blue moon - hardly ever, really - Splunk Web encounters a problem and displays an error page. However, it also displays some server side code in the form of a traceback.

How can I keep Splunk Web from displaying these tracebacks?

This particular issue is on file as bug SPL-39681 and is targeted for a future major release of Splunk.

In the meantime, you can make sure that Splunk Web does not display tracebacks with the following settings in web.conf:


[settings]
request.show_tracebacks = False
