Default visualisation for charts

Each time I run a search query and click visualisation, the default is "column chart".

How do I set this to default to "line chart" for myself, and how do I set this for other users?

Thanks in advance

You should be able to control this by adding this line:

display.visualizations.charting.chart = line


to the following .conf file(s):

Global:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ui-prefs.conf


Per User:

$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users/<username>/system/local/ui-prefs.conf
