How do I change the title text on the tabs from default text to a custom text?

[sh254087]

I want to change the title text on the tabs from, for example, "Login|Splunk" or "Dashboards | Splunk 7.1.2" to a text which I want, something like just "Login" or just "Dashboards." I also want to exclude the Splunk version details from being displayed on the title.

So, I have two questions:

—How do I change the title text on the tabs from default text to a custom text?
—How do I disable the Splunk version details being displayed on the tab title?

Is there a way that I achieve this?

Note: Found a similar question here - https://answers.splunk.com/answers/521061/how-to-change-bookmark-name-from-loginsplunk-to-na.html, but the answer provided was in Chinese.

@sh254087,

Any changes to the design has to be allowed by your license terms. Consult with your Splunk representative

The login page document title can be changed in web.conf . Reference WEB CONF

loginDocumentTitleOption = custom
loginDocumentTitleText = "your title"

However, please do check the license agreement as stated below about these properties.

# Default login document title settings
# NOTE: This option is made available only to OEM customers participating in Splunk’s OEM Partner Program
# and subject to the relevant terms of the Master OEM Agreement. All other customers or partners are prohibited
# from removing or altering any copyright, trademark, and/or other intellectual property or proprietary rights
# notices of Splunk placed on or embedded in any Splunk materials.
loginDocumentTitleOption = default
loginDocumentTitleText =

For other dashboard, it's part of the core js files. For e.g. change in

$SPLUNK_HOME/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/build/pages/enterprise/common.js

From
document.title=splunkUtils.sprintf(_("%s | Splunk %s %s").t(),title,isLite?"Light":"",version)}.bind(this))}

to

document.title=splunkUtils.sprintf(_("%s | your_preferred_text %s").t(),title,isLite?"Light":"",version)}.bind(this))}

This will print Your Dashboard Name| your_preferred_text

Upgrade of splunk will rewrite these files and you might need to redo it again. And again highly suggest to consult with your splunk contact! *Risk is all yours 🙂 *

Any updates to this for Splunk 9.x?

We are an OEM partner and authorized to make this change, but cannot figure out how to make the change in Splunk 9.x. It looks like the javascript syntax has changed. I found what I thought was the equivalent, but changing it doesn't have any affect.

If using dark mode dashboards, you also have to edit the following two files with same tweak:

• /opt/splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/build/pages/dark/dasboard.js
• /opt/splunk/share/splunk/search_mrsparkle/exposed/build/pages/dark/dashboard_1.1.js
