Configuration order of precedence

[muppetlegs]

This should be a softball for easy karma.

Can anybody tell me the order of precedence for configuration files?

As a specific example, for props.conf, I have

1. /opt/splunk/etc/apps/my_silly_app/local/props.conf
2. /opt/splunk/etc/users/my_silly_username/my_silly_app/local/props.conf
3. /opt/splunk/etc/system/local/props.conf
4. /opt/splunk/etc/system/default/props.conf

...to name a few

When going back and forth between UI and bash edits, I sometimes am not sure which I should adjust/delete/ignore compared to others.

I could use some Karma.

See the Order of precedence section.

You can run btool to see all the configuration values in use by your Splunk instance.
