Hi @waddellt 

You need to increase the Splunk Web upload limit to at least 2 GB by creating a file called $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/web.conf with the following stanza, followed by a restart.

[settings]
max_upload_size = 2048

 For more info please see the docs on Installing Splunk Enterprise Security
