Splunk Enterprise

Offline Documentation?

New to splunk... I am installing it on an ISOLATED and OFFLINE Network, as such I cannot go to help.splunk.com to look things up while i am in that lab.

I need PDFs for the installation, configuration and operation of Splunk Enterprise, Universal Forwarders, dashboards and alerts.

Does anybody know of a source?  The "Print to PDF" option on each page only gives one page... not a 50+ page manual that I would expect.

TIA

Hi @Ish42 

I agree - this was an important feature for me too, I (and others) have raised this with the relevant teams. There is an idea at https://ideas.splunk.com/ideas/EID-I-2595 which is worth upvoting. 

I hope they bring this feature back!

Thanks, I upvoted it and added a comment.

Probably won't be resolved soon enough to help me, but maybe we can help the next team who needs this...

You could ask this (again) is slack. There is https://splunkcommunity.slack.com/archives/C4HDPSF60 channel where we have started to discuss this issues at lest since March 2025. There also are people who are responsible for that platform. If I recall right those discussions they have shown (really) ligh green light for this, but I don’t know any estimates or what is reality.
