Hi JuGuSm,
well using CLI is a broad statement, and therefore I can answer this question with Yes, of course you can use CLI to change it.
Let me show you how to change the option search_assistant = none to search_assistant = full using CLI commands.
first option, use sed
sed -i 's/search_assistant = none/search_assistant = full/' /opt/splunk/etc/users/<username>/user-prefs/local/user-prefs.conf
second option, use curl and edit it using the REST endpoint:
curl -u admin:changeme -k https://localhost:8089//servicesNS/admin/user-prefs/properties/user-prefs/general/search_assistant -d value=full
The result will be like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<response>
<messages>
<msg type="INFO">Successfully modified 1 key(s)</msg>
</messages>
</response>
Third option, use any CLI text editor and modify the file - yeah I know, lame but still a CLI option.
So, as you can see there are ways to edit the setting using CLI commands 😉
Hope this helps ...
cheers, MuS
