############################################################################
# OVERVIEW
############################################################################
# This file contains settings and values to configure server options
# in server.conf.
#
# Each stanza controls different search commands settings.
#
# There is a server.conf file in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/ directory.
# Never change or copy the configuration files in the default directory.
# The files in the default directory must remain intact and in their original
# location.
#
# To set custom configurations, create a new file with the name server.conf in
# the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/ directory. Then add the specific settings
# that you want to customize to the local configuration file.
# For examples, see server.conf.example. You must restart the Splunk instance
# to enable configuration changes.
#
# To learn more about configuration files (including file precedence) see the
# documentation located at
# http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles
#
#
############################################################################
# GLOBAL SETTINGS
############################################################################
# Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
#   * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza at the top
#     of the file.
#   * Each configuration file should have at most one default stanza.
#     If you have multiple default stanzas, settings are combined. If you
#     have multiple definitions of the same settings, the last definition
#     in the file wins.
#   * If a setting is defined at both the global level and in a specific
#     stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.

############################################################################
# General Server Configuration
############################################################################
[general]
serverName = <ASCII string>
* The name that identifies this Splunk software instance for features such as
  distributed search.
* Cannot be an empty string.
* Can contain environment variables.
* After any environment variables are expanded, the server name
  (if not an IPv6 address) can only contain letters, numbers, underscores,
  dots, and dashes. The server name must start with a letter, number, or an
  underscore.
* Default: <hostname>-<user_running_splunk>

hostnameOption = [ fullyqualifiedname | clustername | shortname ]
* The type of information to use to determine how splunkd sets the 'host' value for a Windows
  Splunk platform instance when you specify an input stanza with 'host = $decideOnStartup'.
* Applies only to Windows hosts, and only for input stanzas that use the
  "host = $decideOnStartup" setting and value.
* Valid values are "fullyqualifiedname", "clustername", and "shortname".
* The value returned for the 'host' field depends on Windows DNS, NETBIOS,
  and what the name of the host is.
  * 'fullyqualifiedname' uses Windows DNS to return the fully qualified host name as the value.
  * 'clustername' also uses Windows DNS, but sets the value to the domain and machine name.
  * 'shortname' returns the NETBIOS name of the machine.
* Cannot be an empty string.
* Default: shortname

sessionTimeout = <nonnegative integer>[s|m|h|d]
* The amount of time before a user session times out, expressed as a
  search-like time range.
* Examples include "24h" (24 hours), "3d" (3 days),
  "7200s" (7200 seconds, or two hours)
* Default: "1" (1 hour)

trustedIP = <IP address>
* All logins from specified IP addresses are trusted. This means a
  password is no longer required.
* Only set this if you are using Single Sign-On (SSO).

allowRemoteLogin = always|never|requireSetPassword
* Controls remote management by restricting general login. Note that this
  does not apply to trusted SSO logins from a trustedIP.
* When set to "always", all remote login attempts are allowed.
* When set to "never", only local logins to splunkd are allowed. Note that this
  still allows remote management through Splunk Web if Splunk Web is on
  the same server.
* If set to "requireSetPassword":
  * In the free license, remote login is disabled.
  * In the pro license, remote login is disabled for the "admin" user if
    the default password of "admin" has not been changed.
* NOTE: As of version 7.1, Splunk software does not support the use of default
  passwords. The "requireSetPassword" value is deprecated and might be removed
  in the future.
* Default: requireSetPassword

tar_format = gnutar|ustar
* Sets the default TAR format.
* Default: gnutar

access_logging_for_phonehome = <boolean>
* Enables/disables logging to the splunkd_access.log file for client phonehomes.
* Default: true (logging enabled)

hangup_after_phonehome = <boolean>
* Controls whether or not the deployment server hangs up the connection
  after the phonehome is done.
* By default, persistent HTTP 1.1 connections are used with the server to
  handle phonehomes. This might show higher memory usage if you have a large
  number of clients.
* If you have more than the maximum recommended concurrent TCP connection
  deployment clients, persistent connections can not help with the reuse of
  connections. Setting this attribute to true helps bring down memory usage.
* Default: false (persistent connections for phonehome)

pass4SymmKey = <password>
* Authenticates traffic between:
  * License master and its license slaves.
  * Members of a cluster.
  * Deployment server (DS) and its deployment clients (DCs).
* When authenticating members of a cluster, clustering might override the
  passphrase specified in the clustering stanza. A clustering searchhead
  connecting to multiple managers might further override in the
  [clustermanager:stanza1] stanza.
* When authenticating deployment servers and clients, by default, DS-DCs
  passphrase authentication is disabled. To enable DS-DCs passphrase
  authentication, you must also add the following line to the [broker:broker]
  stanza in the restmap.conf file: requireAuthentication = true
* In all scenarios, every node involved must set the same passphrase in
  the same stanzas. For example in the [general] stanza and/or
  [clustering] stanza. Otherwise, the respective communication does not proceed:
    - licensing and deployment in the case of the [general] stanza
    - clustering in case of the [clustering] stanza)
* Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$". This is used by
  Splunk software to determine if the password is already encrypted.

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

listenOnIPv6 = no|yes|only
* By default, splunkd listens for incoming connections (both REST and
  TCP inputs) using IPv4 only.
* When you set this value to "yes", splunkd simultaneously listens for
  connections on both IPv4 and IPv6.
* To disable IPv4 entirely, set listenOnIPv6 to "only". This causes splunkd
  to exclusively accept connections over IPv6. You might need to change
  the mgmtHostPort setting in the web.conf file. Use '[::1]' instead of
  '127.0.0.1'.
* Any setting of SPLUNK_BINDIP in your environment or the
  splunk-launch.conf file overrides the listenOnIPv6 value.
  In this case splunkd listens on the exact address specified.

connectUsingIpVersion = auto|4-first|6-first|4-only|6-only
* When making outbound TCP connections for forwarding event data, making
  distributed search requests, etc., this setting controls whether the
  connections are made using IPv4 or IPv6.
* Connections to literal addresses are unaffected by this setting. For
  example, if a forwarder is configured to connect to "10.1.2.3" the
  connection is made over IPv4 regardless of this setting.
* "auto:"
    * If listenOnIPv6 is set to "no", the Splunk server follows the
      "4-only" behavior.
    * If listenOnIPv6 is set to "yes", the Splunk server follows "6-first"
    * If listenOnIPv6 is set to "only", the Splunk server follow
      "6-only" behavior.
* "4-first:" If a host is available over both IPv4 and IPv6, then
  the Splunk server connects over IPv4 first and falls back to IPv6 if the
  connection fails.
* "6-first": splunkd tries IPv6 first and fallback to IPv4 on failure.
* "4-only": splunkd only attempts to make connections over IPv4.
* "6-only": splunkd only attempts to connect to the IPv6 address.
* Default: auto. This means that the Splunk server selects a reasonable
  value based on the listenOnIPv6 setting.

guid = <globally unique identifier for this instance>
* This setting (as of version 5.0) belongs in the [general] stanza of
  SPLUNK_HOME/etc/instance.cfg file. See the .spec file of instance.cfg for
  more information.

useHTTPServerCompression = <boolean>
* Specifies whether the splunkd HTTP server should support gzip content
  encoding. For more info on how content encoding works, see Section 14.3
  of Request for Comments: 2616 (RFC2616) on the World Wide Web Consortium
  (W3C) website.
* Default: true

defaultHTTPServerCompressionLevel = <integer>
* If the useHTTPServerCompression setting is enabled (it is enabled
  by default), this setting controls the compression level that the
  Splunk server attempts to use.
* This number must be between 1 and 9.
* Higher numbers produce smaller compressed results but require more CPU
  usage.
* Default: 6 (This is appropriate for most environments)

skipHTTPCompressionAcl = <network_acl>
* Lists a set of networks or addresses to skip data compression.
  These are addresses that are considered so close that network speed is
  never an issue, so any CPU time spent compressing a response is wasteful.
* Note that the server might still respond with compressed data if it
  already has a compressed version of the data available.
* These rules are separated by commas or spaces.
* Each rule can be in the following forms:
    1. A single IPv4 or IPv6 address, for example: "10.1.2.3", "fe80::4a3"
    2. A CIDR block of addresses, for example: "10/8", "fe80:1234/32"
    3. A DNS name, possibly with a '*' used as a wildcard, for example:
       "myhost.example.com", "*.splunk.com")
    4. A single '*' which matches anything
* Entries can also be prefixed with '!' to negate their meaning.
* Default: localhost addresses

legacyCiphers = decryptOnly|disabled
* This setting controls how Splunk software handles support for
  legacy encryption ciphers.
* If set to "decryptOnly", Splunk software supports decryption of
  configurations that have been encrypted with legacy ciphers.
  It encrypts all new configurations with newer and stronger cyphers.
* If set to "disabled", Splunk software neither encrypts nor decrypts
  configurations that have been encrypted with legacy ciphers.
* Default: decryptOnly

site = <site-id>
* Specifies the site that this Splunk instance belongs to when multisite is
  enabled.
* Valid values for site-id include site0 to site63
* The special value "site0" can be set only on search heads or on forwarders
  that are participating in indexer discovery.
  * For a search head, "site0" disables search affinity. 
  * For a forwarder participating in indexer discovery, "site0" causes the
    forwarder to send data to all peer nodes across all sites.

useHTTPClientCompression = true|false|on-http|on-https
* Specifies whether gzip compression should be supported when splunkd acts
  as a client (including distributed searches). Note: For the content to
  be compressed, the HTTP server that the client is connecting to should
  also support compression.
* If the connection is being made over https and
  "useClientSSLCompression=true", then setting "useHTTPClientCompression=true"
  results in double compression work without much compression gain. To
  mitigate this, set this value to "on-http" (or to "true", and
  useClientSSLCompression to "false").
* Default: true

embedSecret = <string>
* When using report embedding, normally the generated URLs can only
  be used on the search head that they were generated on.
* If "embedSecret" is set, then the token in the URL is encrypted
  with this key.  Then other search heads with the exact same setting
  can also use the same URL.
* This is needed if you want to use report embedding across multiple
  nodes on a search head pool.

parallelIngestionPipelines = <integer>
* The number of discrete data ingestion pipeline sets to create for this
  instance.
* A pipeline set handles the processing of data, from receiving streams
  of events through event processing and writing the events to disk.
* An indexer that operates multiple pipeline sets can achieve improved
  performance with data parsing and disk writing, at the cost of additional
  CPU cores.
* For most installations, the default setting of "1" is optimal.
* Use caution when changing this setting. Increasing the CPU usage for data
  ingestion reduces available CPU cores for other tasks like searching.
* NOTE: Enabling multiple ingestion pipelines can change the behavior of some
  settings in other configuration files. Each ingestion pipeline enforces
  the limits of the following settings independently:
    1. maxKBps (in the limits.conf file)
    2. max_fd (in the limits.conf file)
    3. maxHotBuckets (in the indexes.conf file)
    4. maxHotSpanSecs (in the indexes.conf file)
* Default: 1

pipelineSetSelectionPolicy = <round_robin | weighted_random>
* Specifies the pipeline set selection policy to use while selecting pipeline
  sets for new inputs.
* If set to round_robin, the incoming inputs are assigned to pipeline sets in a
  round robin fashion.
* If set to weighted_random, the incoming inputs are assigned to pipeline sets
  using a weighted random scheme designed to even out the CPU usage of each
  pipeline set.
* NOTE: This setting only takes effect when parallelIngestionPipelines is
  greater than 1.
* Default: round_robin

pipelineSetWeightsUpdatePeriod = <number>
* The interval, in seconds, when pipeline set weights are recalculated for the
  weighted_random pipeline set selection policy.
* Reducing this interval causes pipeline set weights to be re-evaluated more
  frequently, thereby enabling the system to react more quickly to changes in
  dutycycle estimation.
* Increasing this interval causes pipeline set weights to be re-evaluated less
  frequently, thereby reducing the likelihood of the system responding to
  bursty events.
* Default: 30

pipelineSetNumTrackingPeriods = <number>
* The number of look-back periods, of interval pipelineSetWeightsUpdatePeriod,
  that are used to keep track of incoming ingestion requests for pipeline sets.
* This information is used as a heuristic to calculate the pipeline set weights
  at every expiry of pipelineSetWeightsUpdatePeriod.
* Default: 5

pipelineSetChannelSetCacheSize = <integer>
* Maximum number of inactive channels to be stored in the per-pipeline set
  cache to reduce load in the configuration management system.
* Currently only affects ingestion via the HTTP Event Collector.
* Increasing this setting should reduce the number of created channels
  reported in metrics.log under the 'channel_cache' group. If neither that
  group nor the 'created' field exists in metrics.log, increasing this
  value has no effect.
* Default: 12

instanceType = <string>
* Should not be modified by users.
* Informs components (such as the Splunk Web Manager section) which
  environment the Splunk server is running in, to allow for more
  customized behaviors.
* Default: download

requireBootPassphrase = <boolean>
* Prompt the user for a boot passphrase when starting splunkd.
* Splunkd uses this passphrase to grant itself access to platform-provided
  secret storage facilities, like the GNOME keyring.
* For more information about secret storage, see the [secrets] stanza in
  $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/README/authentication.conf.spec.
* Default (if Common Criteria mode is enabled): true
* Default (if Common Criteria mode is disabled): false

numThreadsForIndexInitExecutor = <positive integer>
* Number of threads that can be used by the index init thread pool.
* Maximum accepted value for this setting is 32.
* Default: 16

remoteStorageRecreateIndexesInStandalone = <boolean>
* Controls re-creation of remote storage enabled indexes in standalone mode.
* Default: true

cleanRemoteStorageByDefault = <boolean>
* Allows 'splunk clean eventdata' to clean the remote indexes when set to true.
* Default: false

recreate_index_fetch_bucket_batch_size = <positive_integer>
* Controls the maximum number of bucket IDs to fetch from remote storage
  as part of a single transaction for a remote storage enabled index.
* Only valid for standalone mode.
* Default: 500

recreate_bucket_fetch_manifest_batch_size = <positive_integer>
* Controls the maximum number of bucket manifests to fetch in parallel
  from remote storage.
* Only valid for standalone mode.
* Default: 100

splunkd_stop_timeout = <positive_integer>
* The maximum time, in seconds, that splunkd waits for a graceful shutdown to
  complete before splunkd forces a stop.
* Default: 360 (6 minutes)

decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs = <unsigned integer>
* The maximum time, in seconds, that splunkd waits for running searches to complete
  during a shutdown_decommission_search.
* To trigger this type of shudown, post to 'services/server/control/shutdown_decommission_search'
* If set to 0, splunkd does not wait, and all searches in progress will fail.
* If this search head is a member of a search head cluster, use 'decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs'
  in the [shclustering] stanza instead.
* NOTE: If this search head is a node of an indexer cluster, use 'decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs'
  in the [clustering] stanza instead.
* Default: 0

python.version = {python2|python3|force_python3}
* For Python scripts only, sets the default Python version to use.
* Can be overridden by other 'python.version' values elsewhere, with the
  following exception:
* If you set to "force_python3", the system always uses Python 3, and ignores
  'python.version' values that you set elsewhere.
* Default: python3

roll_and_wait_for_uploads_at_shutdown_secs = <non-negative number>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Default: 0 (disabled)

preShutdownCleanup = <bool>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Specifies if indexer waits to complete any indexing activities before continuing with shutdown.
* Default: true

reset_manifests_on_startup = <boolean>
* Whether or not the Splunk platform instance regenerates size retention
  information for index bucket summaries that have been stored in the
  manifest.csv files.
* Configuring this setting lets the platform instance have the most
  up-to-date size retention information immediately after startup.
* When set to true, the size retention information for summaries stored
  in the manifest.csv files are removed and regenerated during startup.
* When set to false, manifest.csv files are not reset during startup.
* Default: true

percent_manifests_to_reset = <percentage>
* In order to minimize the cost of resetting all manifest.csv files at once
  the manifest.csv files are separated in groups that are processed separately.
* This percentage defines how many manifest.csv files each group will reset.
* For example, a setting of 20 means each group resets 20% of all manifests
  resulting in 5 groups with 20% each.
* The minimum of one manifest.csv file will be processed per group.
* Legal values are between 0% and 100%.
* Default: 10%

regex_cache_hiwater = <integer>
* A threshold for the number of entries in the regex cache. If the regex cache
  grows larger than this, splunkd server will purge some of the older entries.
* When set to a negative value, no purge occurs, no matter how large
  the cache.
* Default: 2500


############################################################################
# Configuration Change Audit 
############################################################################
[config_change_audit]
disabled = <boolean>
* Whether or not splunkd writes configuration changes to the 
  configuration change log at $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/configuration_change.log.
* If set to "false", configuration changes are captured in
  $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/configuration_change.log.
* If set to "true", configuration changes are not captured
  in $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/configuration_change.log.
* Default: true
mode = [auto|track-only]
* Set to "auto" or "track-only" to get log of .conf file changes
  under $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps,
  $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/users, $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/slave-apps or changes to $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/instance.cfg.
* The values "auto" and "track-only" are identical in their effects. Set mode to "auto"
  to auto-enroll this deployment into all the latest features.
* CAUTION: This setting is experimental and is related to a feature that
  is still under development. Using the setting might increase resource usage.
* Default: auto


############################################################################
# Deployment Configuration details
############################################################################

[deployment]
pass4SymmKey = <passphrase string>
    * Authenticates traffic between the deployment server (DS) and its
      deployment clients (DCs).
    * By default, DS-DCs passphrase authentication key is disabled. To enable
      DS-DCs passphrase authentication, you must *also* add the following
      line to the [broker:broker] stanza in the restmap.conf file:
          requireAuthentication = true
    * If the key is not set in the [deployment] stanza, the key is looked
      for in the [general] stanza.
    * NOTE: Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$", because this is
            used by Splunk software to determine if the password is already
            encrypted.

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

############################################################################
# SSL Configuration details
############################################################################

[sslConfig]
* Set SSL for communications on Splunk back-end under this stanza name.
  * NOTE: To set SSL (for example HTTPS) for Splunk Web and the browser,
   use the web.conf file.
* Follow this stanza name with any number of the following attribute/value
  pairs.
* If you do not specify an entry for each attribute, the default value
  is used.

enableSplunkdSSL = <boolean>
* Enables/disables SSL on the splunkd management port (8089) and KV store
  port (8191).
* NOTE: Running splunkd without SSL is not recommended.
* Distributed search often performs better with SSL enabled.
* Default: true

useClientSSLCompression = <boolean>
* Turns on HTTP client compression.
* Server-side compression is turned on by default. Setting this on the
  client-side enables compression between server and client.
* Enabling this potentially gives you much faster distributed searches
  across multiple Splunk instances.
* CAUTION: There are known performance issues due to SSL compression.
  Confirm that 'conf_deploy_precompress_bundles',
  'precompress_cluster_bundle', 'precompress_artifacts',
  'preCompressKnowledgeBundlesClassicMode', 'preCompressKnowledgeBundlesCascadeMode',
  and 'useHTTPClientCompression' are set to "false" before setting
 'useClientSSLCompression' to "true" to avoid double compression.
* Default: false

useSplunkdClientSSLCompression = <boolean>
* Controls whether SSL compression is used when splunkd is acting as
  an HTTP client, usually during certificate exchange, bundle replication,
  remote calls, etc.
* This setting is effective if, and only if, useClientSSLCompression
  is set to "true".
* NOTE: splunkd is not involved in data transfer in distributed search, the
  search in a separate process is.
* Default: true

sslVersions = <versions_list>
* Comma-separated list of SSL versions to support for incoming connections.
* The versions available are "ssl3", "tls1.0", "tls1.1", and "tls1.2".
* The special version "*" selects all supported versions.
  The version "tls" selects all versions tls1.0 or newer.
* If a version is prefixed with "-" it is removed from the list.
* SSLv2 is always disabled; "-ssl2" is accepted in the version
  list but does nothing.
* When configured in FIPS mode, "ssl3" is always disabled regardless
  of this configuration.
* Default: The default can vary (see the 'sslVersions' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

sslVersionsForClient = <versions_list>
* Comma-separated list of SSL versions to support for outgoing HTTP connections
  from splunkd.  This includes distributed search, deployment client, etc.
* This is usually less critical, since SSL/TLS always picks the highest
  version both sides support.  However, you can use this setting to prohibit
  making connections to remote servers that only support older protocols.
* The syntax is the same as the 'sslVersions' setting above.
* NOTE: For forwarder connections, there is a separate 'sslVersions'
  setting in the outputs.conf file. For connections to SAML servers, there
  is a separate 'sslVersions' setting in the authentication.conf file.
* Default: The default can vary (see the 'sslVersionsForClient' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

supportSSLV3Only = <boolean>
* DEPRECATED.  SSLv2 is disabled.  The exact set of SSL versions
  allowed is configurable using the 'sslVersions' setting above.

sslVerifyServerCert = <boolean>
* This setting is used by distributed search and distributed
  deployment clients.
  * For distributed search: Used when making a search request
    to another server in the search cluster.
  * For distributed deployment clients: Used when polling a
    deployment server.
* If set to true, make sure that the connected server is
  authenticated. Both the common name and the alternate name
  of the server are checked for a match if they are specified
  in this configuration file. A certificate is considered
  verified if either is matched.
* Default: false

sslCommonNameToCheck = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* If set, and 'sslVerifyServerCert' is set to "true",
  splunkd limits most outbound HTTPS connections to hosts which
  use a certificate with one of the listed common names.
* The most important scenario is distributed search.
* Optional.
* No default (no common name checking.)

sslCommonNameList = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'sslCommonNameToCheck' setting instead.

sslAltNameToCheck = <alternateName1>, <alternateName2>, ...
* If this value is set, and 'sslVerifyServerCert' is set to true,
  splunkd also verifies certificates which have a so-called
  "Subject Alternate Name" that matches any of the alternate
  names in this list.
  * Subject Alternate Names are effectively extended descriptive
    fields in SSL certificates beyond the commonName. A common
    practice for HTTPS certificates is to use these values to
    store additional valid hostnames or domains where the
    certificate should be considered valid.
* Accepts a comma-separated list of Subject Alternate Names to
  consider as valid.
* Items in this list are never validated against the SSL Common Name.
* Optional.
* No default (no alternate name checking.)

requireClientCert = <boolean>
* Requires that any HTTPS client that connects to a splunkd
  internal HTTPS server has a certificate that was signed by a
  CA (Certificate Authority) specified by the 'sslRootCAPath' setting.
  * Used by distributed search: Splunk indexing instances must be
    authenticated to connect to another splunk indexing instance.
  * Used by distributed deployment: The deployment server requires that
    deployment clients are authenticated before allowing them to poll
    for new configurations/applications.
* If set to "true", a client can connect ONLY if a certificate
  created by our certificate authority was used on that client.
* Default: false

cipherSuite = <cipher suite string>
* If set, Splunk uses the specified cipher string for the HTTP server.
* If not set, Splunk uses the default cipher string provided by OpenSSL.
  This is used to ensure that the server does not accept connections using
  weak encryption protocols.
* Must specify 'dhFile' to enable any Diffie-Hellman ciphers.
* Default: The default can vary (See the 'cipherSuite' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

ecdhCurveName = <string>
* DEPRECATED.
* Use the 'ecdhCurves' setting instead.
* This setting specifies the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) curve to
  use for ECDH key negotiation.
* Splunk only supports named curves that have been specified by their
  SHORT name.
* The list of valid named curves by their short and long names
  can be obtained by running this CLI command:
  $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ecparam -list_curves
* Default: empty string.

ecdhCurves = <comma-separated list>
* A list of ECDH curves to use for ECDH key negotiation.
* The curves should be specified in the order of preference.
* The client sends these curves as a part of an SSL Client Hello.
* The server supports only the curves specified in the list.
* Splunk software only supports named curves that have been specified
  by their SHORT names.
* The list of valid named curves by their short and long names can be obtained
  by running this CLI command:
  $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ecparam -list_curves
* Example setting: "ecdhCurves = prime256v1,secp384r1,secp521r1"
* Default: The default can vary (See the 'ecdhCurves' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

serverCert = <path>
* The full path to the PEM (Privacy-Enhanced Mail) format server
  certificate file.
* Certificates are auto-generated by splunkd on starting Splunk Enterprise.
* You can replace the default certificate with your own PEM
  format file.
* Default: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/server.pem

sslKeysfile = <filename>
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'serverCert' setting instead.
* This file is in the directory specified by the 'caPath' setting
  (see below).
* Default: server.pem

sslPassword = <password>
* Server certificate password.
* Default: password

sslKeysfilePassword = <password>
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'sslPassword' setting instead.

sslRootCAPath = <path>
* Full path to the root CA (Certificate Authority) certificate store
  on the operating system.
* The <path> must refer to a PEM (Privacy-Enhanced Mail) format
  file containing one or more root CA certificates concatenated
  together.
* Required for Common Criteria.
* This setting is valid on Windows machines only if you have not set
  'sslRootCAPathHonoredOnWindows' to "false".
* No default.

sslRootCAPathHonoredOnWindows = <boolean>
* DEPRECATED.
* Whether or not the Splunk instance respects the 'sslRootCAPath' setting on
  Windows machines.
* If you set this setting to "false", then the instance does not respect the
  'sslRootCAPath' setting on Windows machines.
* This setting is valid only on Windows, and only if you have set
  'sslRootCAPath'.
* When the 'sslRootCAPath' setting is respected, the instance expects to find
  a valid PEM file with valid root certificates that are referenced by that
  path. If a valid file is not present, SSL communication fails.
* Default: true

caCertFile = <filename>
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'sslRootCAPath' setting instead.
* Used only if 'sslRootCAPath' is not set.
* File name (relative to 'caPath') of the CA (Certificate Authority)
  certificate PEM format file containing one or more certificates
  concatenated together.
* Default: cacert.pem

dhFile = <path>
* PEM (Privacy-Enhanced Mail) format Diffie-Hellman(DH) parameter file name.
* DH group size should be no less than 2048bits.
* This file is required in order to enable any Diffie-Hellman ciphers.
* No default.

caPath = <path>
* DEPRECATED. Use absolute paths for all certificate files.
* If certificate files given by other settings in this stanza are not absolute
  paths, then they are relative to this path.
* Default: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth

certCreateScript = <script name>
* Creation script for generating certificates on startup of Splunk Enterprise.

sendStrictTransportSecurityHeader = <boolean>
* If set to "true", the REST interface sends a "Strict-Transport-Security"
  header with all responses to requests made over SSL.
* This can help avoid a client being tricked later by a
  Man-In-The-Middle attack to accept a non-SSL request.
  However, this requires a commitment that no non-SSL web hosts
  ever run on this hostname on any port. For
  example, if Splunk Web is in default non-SSL mode this can break the
  ability of a browser to connect to it.
* NOTE: Enable with caution.
* Default: false

allowSslCompression = <boolean>
* If set to "true", the server allows clients to negotiate
  SSL-layer data compression.
* KV Store also observes this setting.
* If set to "false", KV Store disables TLS compression.
* Default: true

allowSslRenegotiation = <boolean>
* In the SSL protocol, a client may request renegotiation of the
  connection settings from time to time.
* If set to "false", causes the server to reject all renegotiation
  attempts, breaking the connection.  This limits the amount of CPU a
  single TCP connection can use, but it can cause connectivity problems
  especially for long-lived connections.
* Default: true

sslClientSessionPath = <path>
* Path where all client sessions are stored for session re-use.
* Used if 'useSslClientSessionCache' is set to "true".
* No default.

useSslClientSessionCache = <boolean>
* Specifies whether to re-use client session.
* When set to "true", client sessions are stored in memory for
  session re-use. This reduces handshake time, latency and
  computation time to improve SSL performance.
* When set to "false", each SSL connection performs a full
  SSL handshake.
* Default: false

sslServerSessionTimeout = <integer>
* Timeout, in seconds, for newly created session.
* If set to "0", disables Server side session cache.
* The openssl default is 300 seconds.
* Default: 300 (5 minutes)

sslServerHandshakeTimeout = <integer>
* The timeout, in seconds, for an SSL handshake to complete between an
  SSL client and the Splunk SSL server.
* If the SSL server does not receive a "Client Hello" from the SSL client within
  'sslServerHandshakeTimeout' seconds, the server terminates
  the connection.
* Default: 60

# Data fabric search security configuration
#############################################################################
[dfs_security]
* This stanza is for data fabric search (DFS) security configuration.
* Use a combination of the following settings to configure security for your
  DFS implementation. Most of the settings are optional, but some settings
  require that dependent settings also be set.
* All the settings in this stanza require 'enableSplunkdSSL' to be set to
  "true".

tls_enabled = <boolean>
* This setting enables your DFS implementation to use security certificates to
  secure data flows between compute nodes.
* The type of certificates that this setting enables DFS to use depends on
  whether additional settings are also set to "true".
* DFS uses default security certificates when 'tls_enabled' is set to "true"
  but 'use_spark_security_configs' and 'use_node_specific_certificates' are set
  to "false".
* Set 'use_spark_security_configs' and 'use_node_specific_certificates' to
  "true" to gain additional degrees of security hardening. These settings
  require additional Apache Spark configuration. See the setting descriptions
  for more information.
* See the Data Fabric Search manual for more information about DFS security
  configuration.
* Default: false

tls_protocol = [TLSv1.2]
* This setting is required when 'tls_enabled' is set to "true".
* DFS currently supports only TLSv1.2.
* Default: TLSv1.2

override_default_certificate = <boolean>
* This is an optional setting when:
  * tls_enabled = true
  * use_spark_security_configs = false
  * use_node_specific_certificates = false
* Use this setting if you do not want DFS to use the default security
  certificates (dfsks.jks and dfsts.jks in SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth). It causes DFS
  to push a certificate that you have configured to the data fabric coordinator
  (DFC) and the data fabric worker(DFW) nodes. This secures communication
  between the DFC and the DFW nodes as well as the communication between DFW
  nodes and search peers.
* When you set 'override_default_certificate' to "true", you must define the
  following DFS security settings.
  * dfs_keystore_path
  * dfs_truststore_path
  * dfs_keystore_password
  * dfs_key_password
  * dfs_truststore_password
* Default: false

use_spark_security_configs = <boolean>
* This is an optional security setting for DFS. It requires 'tls_enabled' to be
  set to "true".
* When this setting is set to "true", DFS applies the Apache Spark security
  configurations instead of its default security settings.
* When this setting is set to "true", you must configure the following settings
  for each worker node in the Spark cluster:
  * spark.ssl.keyStore
  * spark.ssl.keyPassword
  * spark.ssl.keyStorePassword
  * spark.ssl.trustStore
  * spark.ssl.trustStorePassword
* Default: false

use_node_specific_certificates = <boolean>
* This is an optional security setting for DFS. It requires 'tls_enabled' to be
  set to "true".
* When this setting is set to "true", DFS uses certificates that you have
  configured on the Splunk search head and on each data fabric worker (DFW)
  node to secure DFS communication.
* When this setting is set to "true", you must configure the following settings
  for the data fabric coordinator (DFC) in the Splunk search head:
  * dfc_keystore_path
  * dfc_truststore_path
  * dfc_keystore_password
  * dfc_key_password
  * dfc_truststore_password
* In addition, you must configure the following settings for each of the DFW
  nodes:
  * dfw_keystore_path
  * dfw_truststore_path
  * dfw_keystore_password
  * dfw_key_password
  * dfw_truststore_password
* Default: false

verify_search_peer_to_dfw_client_certificate = <boolean>
* This is an optional security setting. It requires 'tls_enabled' to be set to
  "true".
* When this setting is set to "true", the data fabric worker (DFW) nodes verify
  the common name and alternative names of the certificates on the search
  peer they communicate with. DFW nodes can only have outbound TLS
  connections with search peers whose certificates pass this validation step.
* The common name used in the search peer certificate has to be a value of the
  'search_peer_to_dfw_common_name_list' setting.
* The alternative names used in the search peer certificate has to be a value
  of the 'search_peer_to_dfw_alt_name_list' setting.
* Default: false

search_peer_to_dfw_common_name_list = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* This setting is required when 'verify_search_peer_to_dfw_client_certificate'
  is set to "true".
* Provides a comma-separated list of valid common names for the search peer
  certificate.
* If this list is empty, the DFS workers skip the common name check to the search
  peers' certificate.
* Default: No defailt (No checks for search peer certificate's common name)

search_peer_to_dfw_alt_name_list = <alternateName1>, <alternateName2>, ...
* This setting is required when 'verify_search_peer_to_dfw_client_certificate'
  is set to "true".
* Provides a comma-separated list of valid alternative names for the search peer
  certificate.
* Items in this list are never validated against the 'search_peer_to_dfw_common_name_list'.
* If this list is empty, the DFS workers skip the alternative name check to
  the search peers' certificate.
* Default: No defailt (No checks for search peer certificate's alternative names)

legacy_ca_certificate_folder = <path>
* This is an optional security setting. It helps you provide DFS security for
  legacy Splunk platform deployments. Set it only when:
  * tls_enabled = true
  * use_spark_security_configs = false
  * use_node_specific_certificates = false
  * override_default_certificate = false
* Provides the path to a folder that contains Certificate Authority (CA)
  certificates for legacy Splunk platform.
* When the data fabric master (DFM) generates default certificates, it uses
  this setting to add the additional CA certificates in this folder to the
  trust store.
* Default: SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/dfsCACerts

dfs_keystore_path = <path>

  that you specify.
* If not set, splunkd uses the 'http_proxy' setting instead.
* No default.

proxy_rules = <string>
* One or more host names or IP addresses for which splunkd should route
  HTTPS requests only through the proxy server.
* If set, splunkd uses the proxy server only for endpoints that match the
  hosts or IP addresses in this value.
* Splunkd does not route requests to either the localhost or loopback addresses
  through the proxy server.
* Separate multiple entries with commas.
* This setting accepts the following values:
  * '*' (asterisk): Proxy all requests. This is the only wildcard, and it can
    be used only by itself.
  * <IPv4 or IPv6 address>: Route the request through the proxy if the
     request is intended for that address.

# Splunkd HTTP server configuration
############################################################################

[httpServer]
* Set stand-alone HTTP settings for splunkd under this stanza name.
* Follow this stanza name with any number of the following attribute/value
  pairs.
* If you do not specify an entry for each attribute, splunkd uses the default
  value.

atomFeedStylesheet = <string>
* Defines the stylesheet relative URL to apply to default Atom feeds.
* Set to 'none' to stop writing out xsl-stylesheet directive.
* Default: /static/atom.xsl

max-age = <nonnegative integer>
* Set the maximum time, in seconds, to cache a static asset served off of
  the '/static' directory.
* This value is passed along in the 'Cache-Control' HTTP header.
* Default: 3600 (60 minutes)

follow-symlinks = <boolean>
* Specifies whether the static file handler (serving the '/static'
  directory) follows filesystem symlinks when serving files.
* Default: false

disableDefaultPort = <boolean>
* If set to "true", turns off listening on the splunkd management port,
  which is 8089 by default.
* NOTE: Changing this setting is not recommended.
  * This is the general communication path to splunkd.  If it is disabled,
    there is no way to communicate with a running splunk instance.
  * This means many command line splunk invocations cannot function,
    Splunk Web cannot function, the REST interface cannot function, etc.
  * If you choose to disable the port anyway, understand that you are
    selecting reduced Splunk functionality.
* Default: false

acceptFrom = <network_acl> ...
* Lists a set of networks or addresses from which to accept connections.
* Separate multiple rules with commas or spaces.
* Each rule can be in one of the following formats:
    1. A single IPv4 or IPv6 address (examples: "10.1.2.3", "fe80::4a3")
    2. A Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block of addresses
       (examples: "10/8", "192.168.1/24", "fe80:1234/32")
    3. A DNS name, possibly with a "*" used as a wildcard
       (examples: "myhost.example.com", "*.splunk.com")
    4. "*", which matches anything
* You can also prefix an entry with '!' to cause the rule to reject the
  connection. The input applies rules in order, and uses the first one that
  matches.
  For example, "!10.1/16, *" allows connections from everywhere except
  the 10.1.*.* network.
* Default: "*" (accept from anywhere)

streamInWriteTimeout = <positive number>
* The timeout, in seconds, for uploading data to the http server.
* When uploading data to http server, if the http server is unable
  to write data to the receiver for the specified value, the operation
  aborts.
* Default: 5

max_content_length = <integer>
* Maximum content length, in bytes.
* HTTP requests over the size specified are rejected.
* This setting exists to avoid allocating an unreasonable amount
  of memory from web requests.
* In environments where indexers have enormous amounts of RAM, this
  number can be reasonably increased to handle large quantities of
  bundle data.
* Default: 2147483648 (2GB)

maxSockets = <integer>
* The number of simultaneous HTTP connections that Splunk Enterprise accepts
  simultaneously. You can limit this number to constrain resource usage.
* If set to "0", Splunk Enterprise automatically sets maxSockets to
  one third of the maximum allowable open files on the host.
* If this number is less than 50, it is set to 50.
* If this number is greater than 400000, it is set to 400000.
* If set to a negative number, no limit is enforced.
* Default: 0

maxThreads = <integer>
* The number of threads that can be used by active HTTP transactions.
  You can limit this number to constrain resource usage.
* If set to 0, Splunk Enterprise automatically sets the limit to
  one third of the maximum allowable threads on the host.
* If this number is less than 20, it is set to 20. If this number is
  greater than 150000, it is set to 150000.
* If maxSockets is not negative and maxThreads is greater than maxSockets, then
  Splunk Enterprise sets maxThreads to be equal to maxSockets.
* If set to a negative number, no limit is enforced.
* Default: 0

keepAliveIdleTimeout = <integer>
* How long, in seconds, that the Splunkd HTTP server allows a keep-alive
  connection to remain idle before forcibly disconnecting it.
* If this number is less than 7200, it is set to 7200.
* Default: 7200 (120 minutes)

busyKeepAliveIdleTimeout = <integer>
* How long, in seconds, that the Splunkd HTTP server allows a keep-alive
  connection to remain idle while in a busy state before forcibly
  disconnecting it.
* Use caution when configuring this setting as a value that is too large
  can result in file descriptor exhaustion due to idling connections.
* If this number is less than 12, it is set to 12.
* Default: 12

forceHttp10 = auto|never|always
* When set to "always", the REST HTTP server does not use some
  HTTP 1.1 features such as persistent connections or chunked
  transfer encoding.
* When set to "auto" it does this only if the client sent no
  User-Agent header, or if the user agent is known to have bugs
  in its HTTP/1.1 support.
* When set to "never" it always allows HTTP 1.1, even to
  clients it suspects may be buggy.
* Default: auto

crossOriginSharingPolicy = <origin_acl> ...
* List of the HTTP Origins for which to return Access-Control-Allow-* (CORS)
  headers.
* These headers tell browsers that web applications are trusted at those sites
  to make requests to the REST interface.
* The origin is passed as a URL without a path component (for example
  "https://app.example.com:8000").
* This setting can take a list of acceptable origins, separated
  by spaces and/or commas.
* Each origin can also contain wildcards for any part.  Examples:
    *://app.example.com:*  (either HTTP or HTTPS on any port)
    https://*.example.com  (any host under example.com, including
    example.com itself)
* An address can be prefixed with a '!' to negate the match, with
  the first matching origin taking precedence.  For example,
  "!*://evil.example.com:* *://*.example.com:*" to not avoid
  matching one host in a domain
* A single "*" can also be used to match all origins
* No default.

crossOriginSharingHeaders = <string>
* A list of the HTTP headers to which splunkd sets
  "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" when replying to
  Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) preflight requests.
* The "Access-Control-Allow-Headers" header is used in response to
  a CORS preflight request to tell browsers which HTTP headers can be
  used during the actual request.
* A CORS preflight request is a CORS request that checks to see if
  the CORS protocol is understood and a server is aware of using
  specific methods and headers.
* This setting can take a list of acceptable HTTP headers, separated
  by commas.
* A single "*" can also be used to match all headers.
* Default: Empty string.

x_frame_options_sameorigin = <boolean>
* Adds a X-Frame-Options header set to "SAMEORIGIN" to every response
  served by splunkd.
* Default: true

allowEmbedTokenAuth = <boolean>
* If set to false, splunkd does not allow any access to artifacts
  that previously had been explicitly shared to anonymous users.
* This effectively disables all use of the "embed" feature.
* Default: true

cliLoginBanner = <string>
* Sets a message which is added to the HTTP reply headers
  of requests for authentication, and to the "server/info" endpoint
* This is printed by the Splunk CLI before it prompts
  for authentication credentials.  This can be used to print
  access policy information.
* If this string starts with a '"' character, it is treated as a
  CSV-style list with each line comprising a line of the message.
  For example: "Line 1","Line 2","Line 3"
* No default.

allowBasicAuth = <boolean>
* Allows clients to make authenticated requests to the splunk
  server using "HTTP Basic" authentication in addition to the
  normal "authtoken" system
* This is useful for programmatic access to REST endpoints and
  for accessing the REST API from a web browser.  It is not
  required for the UI or CLI.
* Default: true

allowWwwAuthHeader = <boolean>
* Describes whether or not Splunk Web can include a "www-authenticate" header
  in a response to a request from a web client to access a management endpoint. 
* When Splunk Web sends the "www-authenticate" header in response to such
  a request, the client forces its user to provide credentials to authenticate. 
* A value of "true" means that Splunk Web sends a "www-authenticate" header
  in its response to the web client request. This means that the user of that
  client will be prompted to enter valid credentials to access the instance,
  even if they provide those credentials as part of the request.
* A value of "false" means that Splunk Web does not send the "www-authenticate"
  header in its response to the web client request. This means that the
  user of that client will not be prompted to provide valid credentials to
  access the instance.
* Giving this setting a value of "false" reduces the attack surface in the
  management API when you access it through Splunk Web.
* This setting is not valid for the CLI. It works only with Splunk Web.
* Default: true

basicAuthRealm = <string>
* When using "HTTP Basic" authentication, the 'realm' is a
  human-readable string describing the server.  Typically, a web
  browser presents this string as part of its dialog box when
  asking for the username and password.
* This can be used to display a short message describing the
  server and/or its access policy.
* Default: /splunk

allowCookieAuth = <boolean>
* Allows clients to request an HTTP cookie from the /services/auth/login
  endpoint which can then be used to authenticate future requests
* Default: true

cookieAuthHttpOnly = <boolean>
* When using cookie based authentication, mark returned cookies
  with the "httponly" flag to tell the client not to allow javascript
  code to access its value
* NOTE: has no effect if allowCookieAuth=false
* Default: true

cookieSameSiteSecure = <boolean>
* Describes whether or not the Splunk web server will set all Splunk cookies
  in the browser with the "SameSite=None;Secure" attribute.
* Use this setting to toggle when cookies are to get this value as part of
  embedding dashboards into third-party web applications outside of the 
  Splunk platform instance.
* A value of "true" means that the Splunk web server sets the "SameSite=None,Secure"
  attribute for cookies to work with modern browsers. A cookie with this 
  attribute lets the browser embed a Splunk dashboard into a third-party <iframe>.
  * <iframe> stands for "inline frame", and is a web page component within 
    which you can embed a dashboard.
* A value of "false" means that the web server does not set cookies with
  "SameSite=None,Secure" attribute.
* If you want to embed a Splunk dashboard into an outside web application,
  you must give this setting a value of "true". Otherwise, the third-party
  <iframe> won't let the user authenticate and use the dashboard that
  you embedded.
* Default: false

cookieAuthSecure = <boolean>
* When using cookie based authentication, mark returned cookies
  with the "secure" flag to tell the client never to send it over
  an unencrypted HTTP channel
* NOTE: has no effect if allowCookieAuth=false OR the splunkd REST
  interface has SSL disabled
* Default: true

dedicatedIoThreads = [<integer>|auto]
* The number of threads that splunkd dedicates to handling HTTP I/O requests.
* This setting controls thread usage for all HTTP requests through splunkd,
  including SSL encryption.
* If you set this to "0", splunkd uses the same thread that accepted the initial
  connection over TCP to perform the HTTP I/O.
* If you set this to a number other than "0", splunkd creates that number of
  threads to handle HTTP I/O.
* If you set this to "auto", splunkd uses the number of CPU cores on the
  machine to determine the number of threads available for HTTP I/O as
  follows:
    * Number of CPU cores available  | 'dedicatedIoThreads'
                   0 - 16            |    0
                  17 - 48            |    2
                  49 - 128           |    4
                 129 - 192           |    6
                 193 and higher      |    8

* You do not usually need to change this setting.
* Default: auto

dedicatedIoThreadsSelectionPolicy = <round_robin | weighted_random>
* Specifies the I/O threads selection policy to use while selecting I/O thread
  for new connection.
* If set to "round_robin", the incoming connections are assigned to I/O threads
  in a round robin fashion.
* If set to "weighted_random", the connections are assigned to I/O threads using
  a weighted random scheme designed to even out the CPU usage of each I/O thread.
* NOTE: This setting only takes effect when dedicatedIoThreads is greater than 1.
* Default: round_robin

dedicatedIoThreadsWeightsUpdatePeriod = <number>
* The interval, in seconds, when I/O thread weights are recalculated for the
  "weighted_random" selection policy.
* Reducing this interval causes the weights to be re-evaluated more
  frequently, thereby enabling the system to react more quickly to changes
  in relative thread load.
* Increasing this interval causes the weights to be re-evaluated less
  frequently, thereby reducing the ability of the system to respond to
  bursty events.
* Default: 30

replyHeader.<name> = <string>
* Add a static header to all HTTP responses this server generates
* For example, "replyHeader.My-Header = value" causes the
  response header "My-Header: value" to be included in the reply to
  every HTTP request to the REST server

############################################################################
# Splunkd HTTPServer listener configuration
############################################################################

[httpServerListener:<ip:><port>]
* Enable the splunkd REST HTTP server to listen on an additional port number
  specified by <port>.  If a non-empty <ip> is included (for example:
  "[httpServerListener:127.0.0.1:8090]") the listening port is
  bound only to a specific interface.
* Multiple "httpServerListener" stanzas can be specified to listen on
  more ports.
* Normally, splunkd listens only on the single REST port specified in
  the web.conf "mgmtHostPort" setting, and none of these stanzas need to
  be present. Add these stanzas only if you want the REST HTTP server
  to listen to more than one port.

ssl = <boolean>
* Toggle whether this listening ip:port uses SSL or not.
* If the main REST port is SSL (the "enableSplunkdSSL" setting in this
  file's [sslConfig] stanza) and this stanza is set to "ssl=false" then
  clients on the local machine such as the CLI may connect to this port.
* Default: true

listenOnIPv6 = no|yes|only
* Toggle whether this listening ip:port listens on IPv4, IPv6, or both.
* If not present, the setting in the [general] stanza is used

acceptFrom = <network_acl> ...
* Lists a set of networks or addresses from which to accept connections.
* Separate multiple rules with commas or spaces.
* Each rule can be in one of the following formats:
    1. A single IPv4 or IPv6 address (examples: "10.1.2.3", "fe80::4a3")
    2. A Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block of addresses
       (examples: "10/8", "192.168.1/24", "fe80:1234/32")
    3. A DNS name, possibly with a "*" used as a wildcard
       (examples: "myhost.example.com", "*.splunk.com")
    4. "*", which matches anything
* You can also prefix an entry with '!' to cause the rule to reject the
  connection. The input applies rules in order, and uses the first one that
  matches.
  For example, "!10.1/16, *" allows connections from everywhere except
  the 10.1.*.* network.
* Default: The setting in the [httpServer] stanza

############################################################################
# Static file handler MIME-type map
############################################################################

[mimetype-extension-map]
* Map filename extensions to MIME type for files served from the static file
  handler under this stanza name.

<file-extension> = <MIME-type>
* Instructs the HTTP static file server to mark any files ending
  in 'file-extension' with a header of 'Content-Type: <MIME-type>'.
* Default:
    [mimetype-extension-map]
    gif = image/gif
    htm = text/html
    jpg = image/jpg
    png = image/png
    txt = text/plain
    xml = text/xml
    xsl = text/xml

############################################################################
# Log rotation of splunkd_stderr.log & splunkd_stdout.log
############################################################################

# These stanzas apply only on UNIX.  splunkd on Windows has no
# stdout.log or stderr.log files.

[stderr_log_rotation]
* Controls the data retention of the file containing all messages written to
  splunkd's stderr file descriptor (fd 2).
* Typically this is extremely small, or mostly errors and warnings from
  linked libraries.

maxFileSize = <bytes>
* When splunkd_stderr.log grows larger than this value, it is rotated.
* maxFileSize is expressed in bytes.
* You might want to increase this if you are working on a problem
  that involves large amounts of output to the splunkd_stderr.log file.
* You might want to reduce this to allocate less storage to this log category.
* Default: 10000000 (10 si-megabytes)

BackupIndex = <non-negative integer>
* How many rolled copies to keep.
* For example, if this setting is 2, the splunkd_stderr.log.1 and
  splunkd_stderr.log.2 file might exist. Further rolls delete the
  current splunkd_stderr.log.2 file.
* You might want to increase this value if you are working on a problem
  that involves large amounts of output to the splunkd_stderr.log fils
* You might want to reduce this to allocate less storage to this log category.
* Default: 2

checkFrequency = <seconds>
* How often. in seconds, to check the size of splunkd_stderr.log
* Larger values may result in larger rolled file sizes but take less resources.
* Smaller values may take more resources but more accurately constrain the
  file size.
* Default: 10

[stdout_log_rotation]
* Controls the data retention of the file containing all messages written to
  splunkd's stdout file descriptor (fd 1).
* Almost always, there is nothing in this file.

* This stanza can have the same settings as the [stderr_log_rotation]
  stanza with the same defaults.  See above for definitions.

maxFileSize = <bytes>
BackupIndex = <non-negative integer>
checkFrequency = <seconds>

############################################################################
# Remote applications configuration (e.g. SplunkBase)
############################################################################

[applicationsManagement]

* Default: 24h

sslVersions = <versions_list>
* Comma-separated list of SSL versions to connect to 'url'
  (https://apps.splunk.com).
* The versions available are "ssl3", "tls1.0", "tls1.1", and "tls1.2".
* The special version "*" selects all supported versions.  The version "tls"
  selects all versions tls1.0 or newer.
* If a version is prefixed with "-" it is removed from the list.
* SSLv2 is always disabled; "-ssl2" is accepted in the version list
  but does nothing.
* When configured in FIPS mode, ssl3 is always disabled regardless
  of this configuration.
* Default: The default can vary (See the 'sslVersions' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

sslVerifyServerCert = <boolean>
* If this is set to true, Splunk verifies that the remote server (
  specified in 'url') being connected to is a valid one (authenticated).
  Both the common name and the alternate name of the server are then
  checked for a match if they are specified in 'sslCommonNameToCheck' and
  'sslAltNameToCheck'. A certificate is considered verified if either
  is matched.
* Default: true

caCertFile = <path>
* Full path to a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate(s) PEM format file.
* The <path> must refer to a PEM format file containing one or more root CA
  certificates concatenated together.
* Used only if 'sslRootCAPath' is not set.
* Used for validating SSL certificate from https://apps.splunk.com/

sslCommonNameToCheck = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* If this value is set, and 'sslVerifyServerCert' is set to true,
  splunkd checks the common name(s) of the certificate presented by
  the remote server (specified in 'url') against this list of common names.
* Default: apps.splunk.com

sslCommonNameList = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'sslCommonNameToCheck' setting instead.

sslAltNameToCheck =  <alternateName1>, <alternateName2>, ...
* If this value is set, and 'sslVerifyServerCert' is set to true,
  splunkd checks the alternate name(s) of the certificate presented by
  the remote server (specified in 'url') against this list of subject
  alternate names.
* Default: splunkbase.splunk.com, apps.splunk.com

cipherSuite = <cipher suite string>
* Uses the specified cipher string for making outbound HTTPS connection.

  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the current default.

ecdhCurves = <comma separated list of ec curves>
* ECDH curves to use for ECDH key negotiation.
* The curves should be specified in the order of preference.
* The client sends these curves as a part of Client Hello.
* Splunk software only supports named curves specified
  by their SHORT names.
* The list of valid named curves by their short/long names can be obtained
  by executing this command:
  $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk cmd openssl ecparam -list_curves
* e.g. ecdhCurves = prime256v1,secp384r1,secp521r1
* Default: The default can vary (See the 'ecdhCurves' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)


############################################################################
# Misc. configuration
############################################################################

[scripts]

initialNumberOfScriptProcesses = <num>
* The number of pre-forked script processes that are launched when the
  system comes up. These scripts are reused when script REST endpoints
  *and* search scripts are executed.
  The idea is to eliminate the performance overhead of launching the script
  interpreter every time it is invoked.  These processes are put in a pool.
  If the pool is completely busy when a script gets invoked, a new processes
  is fired up to handle the new invocation - but it disappears when that
  invocation is finished.


############################################################################
# Disk usage settings (for the indexer, not for Splunk log files)
############################################################################

[diskUsage]

minFreeSpace = <num>|<percentage>
* Minimum free space for a partition.
* Specified as an integer that represents a size in binary
  megabytes (ie MiB) or as a percentage, written as a decimal
  between 0 and 100 followed by a '%' sign, for example "10%"
  or "10.5%"
* If specified as a percentage, this is taken to be a percentage of
  the size of the partition. Therefore, the absolute free space required
  varies for each partition depending on the size of that partition.
* Specifies a safe amount of space that must exist for splunkd to continue
  operating.
* Note that this affects search and indexing
* For search:
  * Before attempting to launch a search, Splunk software requires this
    amount of free space on the filesystem where the dispatch directory
    is stored, $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/dispatch
  * Applied similarly to the search quota values in authorize.conf and
    limits.conf.
* For indexing:
  * Periodically, the indexer checks space on all partitions
    that contain splunk indexes as specified by indexes.conf. Indexing
    is paused and a ui banner + splunkd warning posted to indicate
    need to clear more disk space.
* Default: 5000 (approx 5GB)

pollingFrequency = <num>
* Specifies that after every 'pollingFrequency' events are indexed,
  the disk usage is checked.
* Default: 100000

pollingTimerFrequency = <num>
* Minimum time, in seconds, between two disk usage checks.
* Default: 10

############################################################################
# Queue settings
############################################################################
[queue]

maxSize = [<integer>|<integer>[KB|MB|GB]]
* Specifies default capacity of a queue.
* If specified as a lone integer (for example, maxSize=1000), maxSize
  indicates the maximum number of events allowed in the queue.
* If specified as an integer followed by KB, MB, or GB (for example,
  maxSize=100MB), it indicates the maximum RAM allocated for queue.
* Default: 500KB

cntr_1_lookback_time = [<integer>[s|m]]
* The lookback counters are used to track the size and count (number of
  elements in the queue) variation of the queues using an exponentially
  moving weighted average technique. Both size and count variation
  has 3 sets of counters each. The set of 3 counters is provided to be able
  to track short, medium and long term history of size/count variation. The
  user can customize the value of these counters or lookback time.
* Specifies how far into history should the size/count variation be tracked
  for counter 1.
* It must be an integer followed by [s|m] which stands for seconds and
  minutes respectively.
* Default: 60s

cntr_2_lookback_time = [<integer>[s|m]]
* See above for explanation and usage of the lookback counter.
* Specifies how far into history should the size/count variation be tracked
  for counter 2.
* Default: 600s (10 minutes)

cntr_3_lookback_time = [<integer>[s|m]]
* See above for explanation and usage of the lookback counter..
* Specifies how far into history should the size/count variation be tracked
  for counter 3.
* Default: 900s (15 minutes)

sampling_interval = [<integer>[s|m]]
* The lookback counters described above collects the size and count
  measurements for the queues. This specifies at what interval the
  measurement collection happens. Note that for a particular queue all
  the counters sampling interval is same.
* It needs to be specified via an integer followed by [s|m] which stands for
  seconds and minutes respectively.
* Default: 1s

[queue=<queueName>]

maxSize = [<integer>|<integer>[KB|MB|GB]]
* Specifies the capacity of a queue. It overrides the default capacity
  specified in the [queue] stanza.
* If specified as a lone integer (for example, maxSize=1000), maxSize
  indicates the maximum number of events allowed in the queue.
* If specified as an integer followed by KB, MB, or GB (for example,
  maxSize=100MB), it indicates the maximum RAM allocated for queue.
* Default: The default is inherited from the 'maxSize' value specified
  in the [queue] stanza

cntr_1_lookback_time = [<integer>[s|m]]
* Same explanation as mentioned in the [queue] stanza.
* Specifies the lookback time for the specific queue for counter 1.
* Default: The default value is inherited from the 'cntr_1_lookback_time'
  value that is specified in the [queue] stanza

cntr_2_lookback_time = [<integer>[s|m]]
* Specifies the lookback time for the specific queue for counter 2.
* Default: The default value is inherited from the 'cntr_2_lookback_time'
  value that is specified in the [queue] stanza.

cntr_3_lookback_time = [<integer>[s|m]]
* Specifies the lookback time for the specific queue for counter 3.
* Default: The default value is inherited from the 'cntr_3_lookback_time' value
  that is specified in the [queue] stanza.

sampling_interval = [<integer>[s|m]]
* Specifies the sampling interval for the specific queue.
* Default: The default value is inherited from the 'sampling_interval' value
  specified in the [queue] stanza.

# PubSub server settings for the http endpoint.
############################################################################

[pubsubsvr-http]

disabled = <boolean>
* If disabled, then http endpoint is not registered. Set this value to
  'false' to expose PubSub server on http.
* Default: true

stateIntervalInSecs = <seconds>
* The number of seconds before a connection is flushed due to inactivity.
  The connection is not closed, only messages for that connection are
  flushed.
* Default: 300 (5 minutes)

############################################################################
# General file input settings. ** NOT SUPPORTED **
############################################################################

# [fileInput]
# outputQueue = <queue name>
* REMOVED. Historically this allowed the user to set the target queue for the
  file-input (tailing) processor, but there was no valid reason to modify this.
* This setting is now removed, and has no effect.
* Tailing always uses the parsingQueue.

############################################################################
# Settings controlling the behavior of 'splunk diag', the diagnostic tool
############################################################################

[diag]

# These settings provide defaults for invocations of the splunk diag
# command. Generally these can be further modified by command line flags to
# the diag command.

EXCLUDE-<class> = <glob expression>
* Specifies a glob / shell pattern to be excluded from diags generated on
  this Splunk instance.
  * Example: */etc/secret_app/local/*.conf
* Further excludes can be added at the splunk diag command line, but there
  is no facility to disable configuration-based excludes at the command
  line.
* There is one exclude by default, for the splunk.secret file.

# the following commands can be overridden entirely by their command-line
# equivalents.

components = <comma separated list>
* Specifies which components of the diag should be gathered.
* This allows the disabling and enabling, categorically, of entire portions
  of diag functionality.
* All of these components are further subject to the exclude feature (see
  above), and component-specific filters (see below).
* Currently, with no configuration, all components except "rest" are enabled
  by default.
* Available components are:
  * index_files   : Files from the index that indicate their health
                    (Hosts|Sources|Sourcetypes.data and bucketManifests).
                    User data is not collected.
  * index_listing : Directory listings of the index contents are
                    gathered, in order to see filenames, directory names,
                    sizes, timestamps and the like.
  * etc           : The entire contents of the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc
                    directory.  In other words, the configuration files.
  * log           : The contents of $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/...
  * pool          : If search head pooling is enabled, the contents of the
                    pool dir.
  * dispatch      : Search artifacts, without the actual results,
                    In other words var/run/splunk/dispatch, but not the
                    results or events files
  * searchpeers   : Directory listings of knowledge bundles replicated for
                    distributed search
                    In other words: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/searchpeers
  * consensus     : Consensus protocol files produced by search head clustering
                    In other words: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/_raft
  * conf_replication_summary : Directory listing of configuration
                    replication summaries produced by search head clustering
                    In other words: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/snapshot
  * rest          : The contents of a variety of splunkd endpoints
                    Includes server status messages (system banners),
                    licenser banners, configured monitor inputs & tailing
                    file status (progress reading input files).
                    * On cluster managers, also gathers manager info, fixups,
                      current peer list, clustered index info, current
                      generation, & buckets in bad stats
                    * On cluster peers, also gathers local buckets & local
                      peer info, and the manager information remotely from
                      the configured manager.
  * kvstore       : Directory listings of the KV Store data directory
                    contents are gathered, in order to see filenames,
                    directory names, sizes, and timestamps.
  * file_validate : Produce list of files that were in the install media
                    which have been changed.  Generally this should be an
                    empty list.
  * profiler      : The profiler directory at $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/profiler

* The special value "all" is also supported, enabling everything explicitly.
* Further controlling the components from the command line:
    * The switch --collect replaces this list entirely.
        * Example: --collect log,etc
          This would set the components to log and etc only, regardless of
          config
    * The switch --enable adds a specific component to this list.
        * Example: --enable pool
          This would ensure that pool data is collected, regardless of
          config
    * The switch --disable removes a specific component from this list.
        * Example: --disable pool
          This would ensure that pool data is *NOT* collected, regardless of
          config
* Default: To collect all components, except "rest".

# Data filters; these further refine what is collected
# most of the existing ones are designed to limit the size and collection
# time to pleasant values.

# NOTE: Most values here use underscores '_' while the command line uses
# hyphens '-'

all_dumps = <boolean>
* This setting currently is irrelevant on UNIX platforms.
* Affects the 'log' component of diag. (dumps are written to the log dir
  on Windows)
* Can be overridden with the --all-dumps command line flag.
* Normally, Splunk diag gathers only three .DMP (crash dump) files on
  Windows to limit diag size.
* If this is set to true, splunk diag collects *all* .DMP files from
  the log directory.
* No default. (false equivalent).

index_files = [full|manifests]
* Selects a detail level for the 'index_files' component.
* Can be overridden with the --index-files command line flag.
* If set to 'manifests', limits the index file-content collection to just
  .bucketManifest files which give some information about the general state of
  buckets in an index.
* If set to 'full', adds the collection of Hosts.data, Sources.data, and
  Sourcetypes.data which indicate the breakdown of count of items by those
  categories per-bucket, and the timespans of those category entries
    * 'full' can take quite some time on very large index sizes, especially
      when slower remote storage is involved.
* Default: manifests

index_listing = [full|light]
* Selects a detail level for the 'index_listing' component.
* Can be overridden with the --index-listing command line flag.
* 'light' gets directory listings (ls, or dir) of the hot/warm and cold
  container directory locations of the indexes, as well as listings of each
  hot bucket.
* 'full' gets a recursive directory listing of all the contents of every
  index location, which should mean all contents of all buckets.
  * 'full' may take significant time as well with very large bucket counts,
    especially on slower storage.
* Default: light

etc_filesize_limit = <non-negative integer in kilobytes>
* This filters the 'etc' component
* Can be overridden with the --etc-filesize-limit command line flag
* This value is specified in kilobytes.
    * Example: 2000 - this would be approximately 2MB.
* Files in the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc directory which are larger than this limit
  is not collected in the diag.
* Diag produces a message stating that a file has been skipped for size
  to the console. (In practice, large files have been found to oftentimes
  be a surprise to the administrator, and indicate problems).
* If desired, this filter may be entirely disabled by setting the value
  to 0.
* Currently, as a special exception, the file
  $SPLUNK_HOME?etc/system/replication/ops.json is permitted to be 10x the
  size of this limit.
* Default: 10000 (10MB)

log_age = <non-negative integer in days>
* This filters the 'log' component
* Can be overridden with the --log-age command line flag
* This value is specified in days
  * Example: 75 - this would be 75 days, or about 2.5 months.
* If desired, this filter may be entirely disabled by setting the value to 0.
* The idea of this default filter is that data older than this is rarely
  helpful in troubleshooting cases in any event.
* Default: 60 (or approximately 2 months)

upload_proto_host_port = <protocol://host:port>|disabled
* URI base to use for uploading files/diags to Splunk support.
* If set to disabled (override in a local/server.conf file), effectively
  disables diag upload functionality for this Splunk install.
* Modification may theoretically may permit operations with some forms of
  proxies, but diag is not specifically designed for such, and support of proxy
  configurations that do not currently work is considered an Enhancement
  Request.
* The communication path with api.splunk.com is over a simple but not
  documented protocol.  If for some reason you wish to accept diag uploads into
  your own systems, it probably is simpler to run diag and then upload via
  your own means independently.  However if you have business reasons that you
  want this built-in, get in touch.
* Uploading to unencrypted http definitely not recommended.
* Default: https://api.splunk.com

SEARCHFILTERSIMPLE-<class> = regex
SEARCHFILTERLUHN-<class> = regex
* Redacts strings from ad-hoc searches logged in the audit.log and
  remote_searches.log files.
* Substrings which match these regexes *inside* a search string in one of those
  two files is replaced by sequences of the character X, as in XXXXXXXX.
* Substrings which match a SEARCHFILTERLUHN regex has the contained
  numbers further tested against the luhn algorithm, used for data integrity
  in mostly financial circles, such as credit card numbers.  This permits more
  accurate identification of that type of data, relying less heavily on regex
  precision. See the Wikipedia article on the "Luhn algorithm" for additional
  information.
* Search string filtering is entirely disabled if --no-filter-searchstrings is
  used on the command line.
* NOTE: That matching regexes must take care to match only the bytes of the
  term.  Each match "consumes" a portion of the search string, so matches that
  extend beyond the term (for example, to adjacent whitespace) could prevent
  subsequent matches, and/or redact data needed for troubleshooting.
* Please use a name hinting at the purpose of the filter in the <class>
  component of the setting name, and consider an additional explicative
  comment, even for custom local settings. This might skip inquiries from
  support.

############################################################################
# Application License manager settings for configuring app license checking
############################################################################

[applicense]
appLicenseHostPort = <IP:port>
* Specifies the location of the IP address or DNS name and port of the app
  license server.

appLicenseServerPath = <path>
* Specifies the path portion of the URI of the app license server.

caCertFile = <path>
* Full path to a CA (Certificate Authority) certificate(s) PEM format file.
* NOTE: Splunk plans to submit Splunk Enterprise for Common Criteria
  evaluation. Splunk does not support using the product in Common
  Criteria mode until it has been certified by NIAP. See the "Securing
  Splunk Enterprise" manual for information on the status of Common
  Criteria certification.
* Default: $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/auth/applicenseCA.pem

sslVersions = <versions_list>
* Comma-separated list of SSL versions to support.
* The special version "*" selects all supported versions.  The version "tls"
  selects all versions tls1.0 or newer.
* If a version is prefixed with "-" it is removed from the list.
* SSLv2 is always disabled; "-ssl2" is accepted in the version list
  but does nothing.
* When configured in FIPS mode, ssl3 is always disabled regardless
  of this configuration.
* Default: The default can vary (See the 'sslVersions' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

cipherSuite = <cipher suite string>
* If set, uses the specified cipher string for the SSL connection.
* Default: The default can vary (See the 'cipherSuite' setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the
  current default)

sslVerifyServerCert = <boolean>
* If this is set to true, Splunk Enterprise verifies that the remote server
  (specified in 'url') being connected to is a valid one (authenticated).
* Both the common name and the alternate name of the server are then
  checked for a match if they are specified in 'sslCommonNameToCheck'
  and 'sslAltNameToCheck'.
* A certificate is considered verified if either is matched.
* Default: true

sslCommonNameToCheck = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* If this value is set, and 'sslVerifyServerCert' is set to true,
  splunkd limits most outbound HTTPS connections to hosts which use
  a cert with one of the listed common names.
* Default:  Some common name checking
.
sslAltNameToCheck = <alternateName1>, <alternateName2>, ...
* If this value is set, and 'sslVerifyServerCert' is set to true,
  splunkd is also willing to verify certificates which have a
  so-called "Subject Alternate Name" that matches any of the alternate
  names in this list.
* Subject Alternate Names are effectively extended descriptive
  fields in SSL certs beyond the commonName.  A common practice for
  HTTPS certs is to use these values to store additional valid
  hostnames or domains where the cert should be considered valid.
* Accepts a comma-separated list of Subject Alternate Names to consider
  valid.
* Items in this list are never validated against the SSL Common Name.
* Default: Some alternate name checking

disabled = <boolean>
* Select true to disable this feature or false to enable this feature. App
  licensing is experimental, so it is disabled by default.
* Default: true

############################################################################
# License manager settings for configuring the license pool(s)
############################################################################

[license]

master_uri = [self|<uri>]
* The URI of the license master that a license slave connects to.
* If set to a URI, the instance attempts to connect to the license master at the URI you specify.
* A URI consists of the following: <scheme>://<hostname>:<port>
* For example, if you set "master_uri = https://example.con:8089", then the instance attempts
  a connection to the instance at "http://example.com:8089" to get licensing information.
* No default.

active_group = Enterprise|Trial|Forwarder|Free
* If the instance is a license master, the license type will be set in 'active_group'.
* Default: <empty>

connection_timeout = <integer>
 * Maximum time, in seconds, to wait before sending data to master times out
 * This timeout applies only if 'master_uri' is set.
 * Default: 30

send_timeout = <integer>
 * Maximum time, in seconds, to wait before sending data to master times out
 * This timeout applies only if 'master_uri' is set.
 * Default: 30

receive_timeout = <integer>
 * Maximum time, in seconds, to wait before receiving data from master times out
 * This timeout applies only if 'master_uri' is set.
 * Default: 30

squash_threshold = <positive integer>
* Advanced setting.  Periodically the indexer must report to license manager
  the data indexed broken down by source, sourcetype, host, and index.  If
  the number of distinct (source, sourcetype, host, index) tuples grows over
  the 'squash_threshold', the (host, source) values are squashed and only a
  breakdown by (sourcetype, index) is reported. This is to prevent explosions in
  memory + license_usage.log lines.
* Set this only after consulting a Splunk Support engineer.
* This needs to be set on license slaves as well as license
  master.
* Default: 2000

report_interval = <nonnegative integer>[s|m|h]
* Selects a time period for reporting in license usage to the license
  master.
* This value is intended for very large deployments (hundreds of indexers)
  where a large number of indexers may overwhelm the license server.
* The maximum permitted interval is 1 hour.
* The minimum permitted interval is 1 minute.
* Can be expressed as a positive number of seconds, minutes or hours.
* If no time unit is provided, seconds is assumed.
* Default: 1m

license_warnings_update_interval = <nonnegative integer>
* Specifies a time period, in seconds, for license master to update
  license warnings in Splunk Web bulletin messages.
* License master checks at every second the last time it updated the
  warnings, and updates if this time period has elapsed.
* Increase this value for very large deployments that contain very
  large number of source types.
* The minimum permitted interval is 10.
* The maximum permiited interval is 3600, equivalent to 1 hour.
* If set to special value of 0, the license master automatically tunes this
  setting to accommodate the size of the deployment.
* Default: 0

strict_pool_quota = <boolean>
* Toggles strict pool quota enforcement
* If set to true, members of pools receive warnings for a given day if
  usage exceeds pool size regardless of whether overall stack quota was
  exceeded
* If set to false, members of pool only receive warnings if both pool
  usage exceeds pool size AND overall stack usage exceeds stack size
* Default: true

pool_suggestion = <string>
* Suggest a pool to the master for this slave.
* The master uses this suggestion if the master doesn't have an explicit
  rule mapping the slave to a given pool (ie...no slave list for the
  relevant license stack contains this slave explicitly)
* If the pool name doesn't match any existing pool, it is ignored, no
  error is generated
* This setting is intended to give an alternative management option for
  pool/slave mappings. When onboarding an indexer, it may be easier to
  manage the mapping on the indexer itself via this setting rather than
  having to update server.conf on master for every addition of new indexer
* NOTE: If you have multiple stacks and a slave maps to multiple pools, this
        feature is limited in only allowing a suggestion of a single pool;
        This is not a common scenario however.
* No default. (which means this feature is disabled)

[lmpool:auto_generated_pool_forwarder]
* This is the auto generated pool for the forwarder stack

description = <textual description of this license pool>
quota = MAX|<maximum amount allowed by this license>
* MAX indicates the total capacity of the license. You may have only 1 pool
  with MAX size in a stack
* The quota can also be specified as a specific size eg. 20MB, 1GB etc

slaves = *|<slave list>
* An asterisk(*) indicates that any slave can connect to this pool
* You can also specify a comma separated slave guid list

stack_id = forwarder
* The stack to which this pool belongs.

[lmpool:auto_generated_pool_free]
* This is the auto generated pool for the free stack
* Field descriptions are the same as that for
  the 'lmpool:auto_generated_pool_forwarder' setting.

[lmpool:auto_generated_pool_enterprise]
* This is the auto generated pool for the enterprise stack
* Field descriptions are the same as that for
  the 'lmpool:auto_generated_pool_forwarder' setting.


[lmpool:auto_generated_pool_fixed-sourcetype_<sha256 hash of srctypes>]
* This is the auto generated pool for the enterprise fixed srctype stack
* Field descriptions are the same as that for
  the 'lmpool:auto_generated_pool_forwarder' setting.

[lmpool:auto_generated_pool_download_trial]
* This is the auto generated pool for the download trial stack
* Field descriptions are the same as that for
  the "lmpool:auto_generated_pool_forwarder"

# AWS EC2 IMDS configuration
##########################################################################

[imds]

imds_version = [v1|v2]
* Sets IMDS version for EC2 instances metadata endpoints.
* This setting is AWS specific.
* Certain features of the Splunk platform use AWS Instance Metadata Service
  (IMDS) when hosted on EC2. IMDS is accessible from the instance via a
  link-local address. It provides metadata about the instance.
* v1 uses request/response method while v2 uses a session-oriented method
  to access IMDS. The version must match the setting used on your EC2
  instance.
* More information about IMDS can be found in the AWS documentation.
* Default: v1


############################################################################
# High availability clustering configuration
############################################################################

[clustering]

mode = [manager|peer|searchhead|disabled]
* Sets operational mode for this cluster node.
* Only one manager may exist per cluster.
* Note: "manager" and "peer" replace the prior 'mode' values of
  "master" and "slave". The prior values are currently still supported,
  but they will be removed from the product in a future release.
* Default: disabled

master_uri = [<uri> | clustermanager:stanzaName1, clustermanager:stanzaName2]
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'manager_uri' setting instead.

manager_uri = [<uri> | clustermanager:stanzaName1, clustermanager:stanzaName2]
* Only valid for 'mode=peer' or 'mode=searchhead'.
* The URI of the cluster manager that this peer or search head
  should connect to.
* An example of <uri>: <scheme>://<hostname>:<port>
* Only for 'mode=searchhead' - If the search head is a part of multiple
  clusters, the manager URIs can be specified by a comma separated list.

advertised_disk_capacity = <integer>
* Percentage to use when advertising disk capacity to the cluster manager.
  This is useful for modifying weighted load balancing in indexer discovery.
* For example, if you set this attribute to 50 for an indexer with a
  500GB disk, the indexer advertises its disk size as 250GB, not 500GB.
* Acceptable value range is 10 to 100.
* Default: 100

pass4SymmKey = <password>
* Secret shared among the nodes in the cluster to prevent any
  arbitrary node from connecting to the cluster. If a peer or
  search head is not configured with the same secret as the manager,
  it is not able to communicate with the manager.
* If it is not set in the [clustering] stanza, the key
  is looked in the [general] stanza
* Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$", as this is used by
  Splunk software to determine if the password is already encrypted.
* No default.

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

service_interval = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid when 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in seconds, how often the manager runs its service
  loop. In its service loop, the manager checks the state of the
  peers and the buckets in the cluster and also schedules
  corrective action, if possible, for buckets that are not in
  compliance with replication policies.
* A special default value of 0 indicates an auto mode where the service
  interval for the next service call is determined by the time taken by
  previous call. It also sets the minimum service interval to be 0.5 second.
* Service interval is bounded by the values 1 and
  the 'max_auto_service_interval' setting.
  If previous service call takes more than 'max_auto_service_interval'
  seconds, next service interval is set to
  'max_auto_service_interval' seconds.
* Default: 0

service_execution_threshold_ms = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid when 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in milliseconds, the maximum period for one execution
  of the manager's service loop.
* This setting is useful for large clusters with large numbers of
  buckets, to prevent the service loop from blocking
  other operations for significant amounts of time.
* Default: 1500

deferred_cluster_status_update = <boolean>
* Only valid when 'mode=manager'
* If set to true (default), SF/RF met (complete cluster state) checks are
  performed lazily for optimal performance, only when CM is busy with
  cluster maintenance operations (e.g peer addition, fix ups, data rebalance).
* If set to false, SF/RF met checks are performed relatively more aggressively
  to improve accuracy, increasing CM overhead and slowing down cluster
  maintenance operations (e.g peer addition, fix ups, data rebalance).
* Note: It is recommended to be set as true with high number of indexers
  and buckets.
* Default: true

deferred_rest_api_update = <boolean>
* Only valid when 'mode=manager'
* If set to true (default), the manager responds to a REST API call from a source
  peer immediately. It might defer part of the actions related to the call until
  it completes already pending work.
* If set to false, the manager finishes all work for a received REST API call
  and only then responds to the source peer. The response might be delayed
  if the manager is busy with other work.
* Default: true

max_fixup_time_ms = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in milliseconds, how long each fixup level runs before
  short circuiting to continue to the next fixup level. This
  introduces an upper-bound on each service level, and likewise
  introduces an upper bound on the full service() call.
* This setting is useful for larger clusters that have lots of
  buckets, where service() calls can consume a significant amount
  of time blocking other operations.
* 0 denotes that there is no max fixup timer.
* Default: 1000

max_delayed_updates_time_ms = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in milliseconds, how long cluster manager can continuously
  serves the delayed jobs before quitting to run other jobs.
* This setting is useful for larger clusters that have a large number of
  peer nodes and indexes, where customer manager could occasionally receive
  thousands of REST APIs in a short period.
* Do not change this setting without first consulting with Splunk Support.
* 0 denotes that there is no limit to how long the delayed jobs thread
  can run continuously.
* Default: 1000

primary_src_persist_secs = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* For a warm bucket, this setting specifies the interval after the bucket's
  latest time that a primary rebalance operation attempts to assign the primary
  to the copy on the source peer node. Once the interval is exceeded,
  the rebalance operation no longer considers the bucket's origin when
  assigning its primary.
* For a hot bucket, a non-zero value causes the primary to always reside with the
  source's hot bucket.
* Do not change this setting without first consulting with Splunk Support.
* If set to 0, the rebalance operation does not consider bucket origin
  when assigning primaries, for both hot and warm buckets.
* Default: 604800 (1 week, 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 seconds)

cxn_timeout = <integer>
* Lowlevel timeout, in seconds, for establishing connection between
  cluster nodes.
* Default: 60

send_timeout = <integer>
* Lowlevel timeout, in seconds, for sending data between cluster nodes.
* Default: 60

rcv_timeout = <integer>
* Lowlevel timeout, in seconds, for receiving data between cluster nodes.
* Default: 60

rep_cxn_timeout = <integer>
* Lowlevel timeout, in seconds, for establishing connection for replicating
  data.
* Default: 5

rep_send_timeout = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'
* Lowlevel timeout, in seconds, for sending replication slice data between
  cluster nodes.
* This is a soft timeout. When this timeout is triggered on source peer,
  it tries to determine if target is still alive. If it is still alive, it
  reset the timeout for another 'rep_send_timeout interval' and continues.  If
  target has failed or cumulative timeout has exceeded the
  'rep_max_send_timeout', replication fails.
* Default: 5

rep_rcv_timeout = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'
* Lowlevel timeout, in seconds, for receiving acknowledgment data from peers.
* This is a soft timeout. When this timeout is triggered on source peer,
  it tries to determine if target is still alive. If it is still alive,
  it reset the timeout for another 'rep_send_timeout' interval and continues.
* If target has failed or cumulative timeout has exceeded
  'rep_max_rcv_timeout', replication fails.
* Default: 10

search_files_retry_timeout = <integer>
* Timeout, in seconds, after which request for search files from a
  peer is aborted.
* To make a bucket searchable, search specific files are copied from
  another source peer with search files. If search files on source
  peers are undergoing chances, it asks requesting peer to retry after
  some time. If cumulative retry period exceeds the specified timeout,
  the requesting peer aborts the request and requests search files from
  another peer in the cluster that may have search files.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)

re_add_on_bucket_request_error = <boolean>
* Valid only for 'mode=peer'.
* If set to true, peer re-adds itself to the cluster manager if
  cluster manager returns an error on any bucket request. On re-add,
  peer updates the manager with the latest state of all its buckets.
* If set to false, peer doesn't re-add itself to the cluster manager.
  Instead, it updates the manager with those buckets that manager
  returned an error.
* Default: false

decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs = <unsigned integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=peer'.
* Determines maximum time, in seconds, that a peer node waits for search
  jobs to finish before it transitions to the down (or) 'GracefulShutdown'
  state, in response to the 'splunk offline' (or)
  'splunk offline --enforce-counts' command.
* Note: When using this setting, the 'decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs'
  setting in the '[general]' stanza must remain set to its default value.
* You do not need to restart the cluster peer when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 180 (3 minutes)

decommission_node_force_timeout = <seconds>
* Valid only for 'mode=peer' and during node offline operation
* The maximum time, in seconds, that a peer node waits for searchable copy
  reallocation jobs to finish before it transitions to the down (or)
  'GracefulShutdown' state.
* This period begins after the peer node receives a 'splunk offline' command
  or its '/cluster/slave/control/control/decommission' REST endpoint
  is accessed.
* This attribute is not applicable to the  "--enforce-counts" version of the
  “splunk offline" command
* Default: 300 seconds

decommission_force_finish_idle_time = <zero or positive integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=manager'.
* Time in minutes the manager waits before forcibly finishing the
  decommissioning of a peer when there is no progress in the associated
  fixup activity.
* A value of zero (0) means that the manager does not forcibly finish
  decommissioning.
* Default: 0

rolling_restart = restart|shutdown|searchable|searchable_force
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Determines whether indexer peers restart or shutdown during a rolling
  restart.
* If set to restart, each peer automatically restarts during a rolling
  restart.
* If set to shutdown, each peer is stopped during a rolling restart,
  and the customer must manually restart each peer.
* If set to searchable, the cluster attempts a best-effort to maintain
  a searchable state during the rolling restart by reassigning primaries
  from peers that are about to restart to other searchable peers, and
  performing a health check to ensure that a searchable rolling restart is
  possible.
* If set to 'searchable_force', the cluster performs a searchable
  rolling restart, but overrides the health check and enforces
  'decommission_force_timeout' and 'restart_inactivity_timeout'.
* If set to 'searchable' or 'searchable_force', scheduled searches
  are deferred or run during the rolling restart based on the
  'defer_scheduled_searchable_idx' setting in 'savedsearches.conf'.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: restart

searchable_rolling_peer_state_delay_interval = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies an extra time interval, in seconds, during which the peer remains
  in the ReassigningPrimaries state.
* Extending the amount of time the peer remains in the ReassigningPrimaries
  state gives the peer more time to complete inflight searches and ingest
  events.
* This also reduces the impact of incomplete searches and bucket corruption,
  which can impede the searchable rolling restart process.
* Default: 60

searchable_rolling_site_down_policy = full|most|half
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and is only used if 'multisite=true' and
  'site_by_site=true'.
* Sets the policy for calculating the maximum number of peers in a site allowed
  to shutdown at the same time during a searchable rolling restart.
* If set to 'full', the manager will allow an entire site to shutdown at once
  if there are searchable copies of buckets available in at least 3 sites.
* If set to 'most', the manager will maintain a few peers in a site to act as
  hot bucket streaming targets, and shutdown the other peers. At least one
  peer is available as a streaming target, but there can be more depending on
  the cluster's search factor. The 'most' policy attempts to speed up the
  rolling restart more aggressively than 'half', at the expense of a longer
  period fixing up replication and search factors afterwards.
* If set to 'half', the manager will maintain half the peers in a site to act
  as hot bucket streaming targets, and shutdown the other peers.
* The maximum number of peers allowed down at one time is the smallest peer
  count between 'percent_peers_to_restart' and
  'searchable_rolling_site_down_policy'.
* Default: half

rolling_restart_condition = up|batch_adding|starting
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Determines the target peer status the manager waits for, when restarting
  a peer during a rolling restart, before it restarts other peers.
* If set to 'up', the manager will wait for a restarting peer to reach the
  'Up' status before restarting other peers. A peer reaches 'Up' status
  when it has finished reporting all of its buckets to the manager. This
  option will always respect 'percent_peers_to_restart'.
* If set to 'batch_adding', the manager will wait for a restarting peer to
  reach the 'BatchAdding' status before restarting other peers. A peer
  reaches 'BatchAdding' status when it is in the process of reporting its
  buckets to the manager. This option will respect 'percent_peers_to_restart'
  as long as the current restarting peer finishes adding before the next
  restarting peer finishes shutting down, which is extremely likely.
* If set to 'starting', the manager will wait for a restarting peer to
  reach the 'Starting' status before restarting other peers. A peer
  reaches 'Starting' status when it first starts up and is in the process
  of scanning its buckets on disk. This option is the fastest, but may
  not always respect 'percent_peers_to_restart'.
* Default: batch_adding

site_by_site = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and 'multisite=true'.
* If set to true, the manager restarts peers from one site at a time,
  waiting for all peers from a site to restart before moving on to another
  site, during a rolling restart.
* If set to false, the manager randomly selects peers to restart, from
  across all sites, during a rolling restart.
* Default: true

decommission_force_timeout = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'rolling_restart=searchable_force'
* The amount of time, in seconds, the cluster manager waits for a
  peer in primary decommission status to finish primary reassignment
  and restart, during a searchable rolling restart with timeouts.
* Differs from 'decommission_force_finish_idle_time' in its default value
  and its presence only during a searchable rolling restart with timeouts.
* If you set this parameter to 0, it is automatically reset
  to default value.
* Maximum accepted value is 1800 (30 minutes).
* Default: 180 (3 minutes)

restart_inactivity_timeout = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'rolling_restart=searchable_force'
* The amount of time, in seconds, that the manager waits for a peer to
  restart and rejoin the cluster before it considers the restart a failure
  and proceeds to restart other peers.
* More specifically, the amount of time that the manager waits for a peer in
  the 'Down' status to transition to 'BatchAdding' or 'Up' status.
* A value of zero (0) means that the manager waits indefinitely for a peer
  to restart.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)

rebalance_pipeline_batch_size = <integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=manager'.
* Valid only for 'searchable_rebalance=true'.
* The maximum number of buckets for a batch entering the excess bucket removal
  phase of the rebalance pipeline.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 60

rebalance_primary_failover_timeout = <zero or positive integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=manager'.
* Valid only for 'searchable_rebalance=true'.
* The maximum length of time, in seconds, that the manager waits for primacy to
  be reassigned from the batch of excess buckets to other buckets.
* Default: 75

rebalance_newgen_propagation_timeout = <zero or positive integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=manager'.
* Valid only for 'searchable_rebalance=true'.
* The amount of time, in seconds, that the manager waits for the search heads to
  get the newly committed generation after the discarded buckets' primacy has
  been reassigned.
* Default: 60 (1 minute)

rebalance_search_completion_timeout = <integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=manager'.
* Valid only for 'searchable_rebalance=true'.
* The amount of time, in seconds, that the manager waits for older generation
  searches on indexers to complete before removing any excess buckets.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 180 (3 minute)

searchable_rebalance = <boolean>
* Valid only for 'mode=manager'.
* Controls whether searches can continue uninterrupted during data rebalancing.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: false

rep_max_send_timeout = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'
* Maximum send timeout, in seconds, for sending replication slice
  data between cluster nodes.
* On rep_send_timeout source peer determines if total send timeout has
  exceeded 'rep_max_send_timeout'. If so, replication fails.
* If cumulative 'rep_send_timeout' exceeds 'rep_max_send_timeout',
  replication fails.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster peer.
* Default: 180 (3 minutes)

rep_max_rcv_timeout = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'
* Maximum cumulative receive timeout, in seconds, for receiving
  acknowledgment data from peers.
* On 'rep_rcv_timeout' source peer determines if total
  receive timeout has exceeded 'rep_max_rcv_timeout'.
  If so, replication fails.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster peer.
* Default: 180 (3 minutes)

multisite = <boolean>
* Turns on the multisite feature for this manager.
* Make sure you set site parameters on the peers when you turn this to true.
* Default: false

replication_factor = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Determines how many copies of rawdata are created in the cluster.
* Use 'site_replication_factor' instead of this in case 'multisite'
  is turned on.
* Must be greater than 0.
* Default: 3

site_replication_factor = <comma-separated string>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and is only used if 'multisite=true'.
* This specifies the per-site replication policy for any given
  bucket represented as a comma-separated list of per-site entries.
* Currently specified globally and applies to buckets in all
  indexes.
* Each entry is of the form <site-id>:<positive integer> which
  represents the number of copies to make in the specified site
* Valid site-ids include two mandatory keywords and optionally
  specific site-ids from site1 to site63
* The mandatory keywords are:
  - origin: Every bucket has a origin site which is the site of
  the peer that originally created this bucket. The notion of
  'origin' makes it possible to specify a policy that spans across
  multiple sites without having to enumerate it per-site.
  - total: The total number of copies needed for each bucket.
* When a site is the origin, it could potentially match both the
  origin and a specific site term. In that case, the max of the
  two is used as the count for that site.
* The total must be greater than or equal to sum of all the other
  counts (including origin).
* The difference between total and the sum of all the other counts
  is distributed across the remaining sites.
* Example 1: site_replication_factor = origin:2, total:3
  Given a cluster of 3 sites, all indexing data, every site has 2
  copies of every bucket ingested in that site and one rawdata
  copy is put in one of the other 2 sites.
* Example 2: site_replication_factor = origin:2, site3:1, total:3
  Given a cluster of 3 sites, 2 of them indexing data, every
  bucket has 2 copies in the origin site and one copy in site3. So
  site3 has one rawdata copy of buckets ingested in both site1 and
  site2 and those two sites have 2 copies of their own buckets.
* Default: origin:2, total:3

search_factor = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Determines how many buckets have index structures pre-built.
* Must be less than or equal to the 'replication_factor' setting and
  greater than 0.
* Default: 2

site_search_factor = <comma-separated string>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and is only used if 'multisite=true'.
* This specifies the per-site policy for searchable copies for any
  given bucket represented as a comma-separated list of per-site
  entries.
* This is similar to the 'site_replication_factor' setting.
  Please see that entry for more information on the syntax.
* Default: origin:1, total:2

available_sites = <comma-separated string>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and is only used if 'multisite=true'.
* This is a comma-separated list of all the sites in the cluster.
* If 'multisite=true' then 'available_sites' must be
  explicitly set.
* Default: an empty string

forwarder_site_failover = <comma-separated string>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and is only used if 'multisite=true'.
* This is a comma-separated list of pair of sites, "site1:site2",
  in the cluster.
* If 'multisite' is turned on 'forwarder_site_failover' must be
  explicitly set.
* Default: an empty string

site_mappings = <comma-separated string>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* When you decommission a site, you must update this attribute so that the
  origin bucket copies on the decommissioned site are mapped to a remaining
  active site. This attribute maps decommissioned sites to active sites.
  The bucket copies for which a decommissioned site is the origin site
  are then replicated to the active site specified by the mapping.
* Used only if multisite is true and sites have been decommissioned.
* Each comma-separated entry is of the form
  <decommissioned_site_id>:<active_site_id>
  or default_mapping:<default_site_id>.
  <decommissioned_site_id> is a decommissioned site and <active_site_id> is
  an existing site,specified in the 'available_sites' setting.
  For example, if available_sites=site1,site2,site3,site4 and you
  decommission site2, you can map site2 to a remaining site such as site4,
  like this: site2:site4 .
* If a site used in a mapping is later decommissioned, its previous mappings
  must be remapped to an available site. For instance, if you have the
  mapping site1:site2 but site2 is later decommissioned, you can remap
  both site1 and site2 to an active site3 using the following replacement
  mappings - site1:site3,site2:site3.
* Optional entry with syntax default_mapping:<default_site_id> represents the
  default mapping, for cases where an explicit mapping site is not specified.
  For example: default_mapping:site3 maps any decommissioned site to site3,
  if they are not otherwise explicitly mapped to a site.
  There can only be one such entry.
* Example 1: site_mappings = site1:site3,default_mapping:site4.
  The cluster must include site3 and site4 in available_sites, and site1
  must be decommissioned.
  The origin bucket copies for decommissioned site1 is mapped to site3.
  Bucket copies for any other decommissioned sites is mapped to site4.
* Example 2: site_mappings = site2:site3
  The cluster must include site3 in available_sites, and site2 must be
  decommissioned. The origin bucket copies for decommissioned site2 is
  mapped to site3. This cluster has no default.
* Example 3: site_mappings = default_mapping:site5
  The above cluster must include site5 in available_sites.
  The origin bucket copies for any decommissioned sites is mapped onto
  site5.
* Default: an empty string

constrain_singlesite_buckets = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and is only used if multisite is true.
* Specifies whether the cluster keeps single-site buckets within one site
  in multisite clustering.
* When this setting is "true", buckets in a single site cluster do not
  replicate outside of their site. The buckets follow 'replication_factor'
  'search factor' policies rather than 'site_replication_factor'
  'site_search_factor' policies. This is to mimic the behavior of
  single-site clustering.
* When this setting is "false", buckets in non-multisite clusters can
  replicate across sites, and must meet the specified
  'site_replication_factor' and 'site_search_factor' policies.
* Default: true

heartbeat_timeout = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in seconds, when the manager considers a peer down. After a
  peer is down, the manager initiates fixup steps to replicate
  buckets from the dead peer to its peers.
* Default: 60

access_logging_for_heartbeats = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Enables/disables logging to the splunkd_access.log file for peer
  heartbeats.
* NOTE: you do not have to restart manager to set this config parameter.
  Simply run the cli command on manager:
    % splunk edit cluster-config -access_logging_for_heartbeats <<boolean>>
* Default: false (logging disabled)


restart_timeout = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* This is the amount of time, in seconds, the manager waits for a peer
  to come back when the peer is restarted (to avoid the overhead of
  trying to fixup the buckets that were on the peer).
* More specifically, the amount of time that the manager waits for a
  peer in the 'Restarting' status to transition to the 'Down' status.
* Note that this only works with the offline command or if the peer
  is restarted vi the UI.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 60

streaming_replication_wait_secs = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* The amount of time, in seconds, that a peer node waits to restart after
  receiving a restart request from the manager. During this period, the node
  remains in the eRestartRequested state. This time allows the ongoing
  replications on the peer to complete.
* Default: 60

quiet_period = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* This setting determines the amount of time, in seconds, that the manager is
  quiet upon start-up.
* However, if peers are still registering themselves with the manager after
  the initial quiet_period has elapsed, the manager continues to remain
  quiet until all peers finish registering, up to a total quiet time not to
  exceed 3x the specified 'quiet_period', including the initial quiet time.
* During the quiet time, the manager does not initiate any actions. At the end of
  this period, the manager builds its view of the cluster based on the
  registered information. It then starts normal operations.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 60

reporting_delay_period = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* The acceptable amount of delay, in seconds, for reporting both unmet
  search and unmet replication factors for newly created buckets.
* This setting helps provide more reliable cluster status reporting
  by limiting updates to the specified granularity.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 30

generation_poll_interval = <positive integer>
* How often, in seconds, the search head polls the manager for
  generation information.
* This setting is valid only if 'mode=manager' or 'mode=searchhead'.
* This setting reloads automatically and does not require a restart.
* Default: 5

max_peer_build_load = <integer>
* This is the maximum number of concurrent tasks to make buckets
  searchable that can be assigned to a peer.
* Default: 2

max_peer_rep_load = <integer>
* This is the maximum number of concurrent non-streaming
  replications that a peer can take part in as a target.
* Default: 5

max_peer_sum_rep_load = <integer>
* This is the maximum number of concurrent summary replications
  that a peer can take part in as either a target or source.
* Default: 5

max_nonhot_rep_kBps = <integer>
* This is the maximum throughput (kB(Bytes)/s) for warm/cold/summary
  replications on a specific source peer. Similar to forwarder's 'maxKBps'
  setting in the limits.conf file.
* This setting throttles total bandwidth consumption for all
  outgoing non-hot replication connections from a given source peer.
  It does not throttle at the per-replication-connection, per-target
  level.
* This setting can be updated without restart on the source peers
  by using the command "splunk edit cluster-config" or by making the
  corresponding REST call.
* If set to 0, signifies unlimited throughput.
* Default: 0

max_replication_errors = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* This is the maximum number of consecutive replication errors
  (currently only for hot bucket replication) from a source peer
  to a specific target peer. Until this limit is reached, the
  source continues to roll hot buckets on streaming failures to
  this target. After the limit is reached, the source no
  longer rolls hot buckets if streaming to this specific target
  fails. This is reset if at least one successful (hot bucket)
  replication occurs to this target from this source.
* The special value of 0 turns off this safeguard; so the source
  always rolls hot buckets on streaming error to any target.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster peer.
* Default: 3

searchable_targets = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Tells the manager to make some replication targets searchable
  even while the replication is going on. This only affects
  hot bucket replication for now.
* Default: true

searchable_target_sync_timeout = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* If a hot bucket replication connection is inactive for this time,
  in seconds, a searchable target flushes out any pending search
  related in-memory files.
* Regular syncing - when the data is flowing through
  regularly and the connection is not inactive - happens at a
  faster rate (default of 5 secs controlled by
  streamingTargetTsidxSyncPeriodMsec in indexes.conf).
* The special value of 0 turns off this timeout behavior.
* Default: 60

target_wait_time = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies the time, in seconds, that the manager waits for the
  target of a replication to register itself before it services
  the bucket again and potentially schedules another fixup.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster manager.
* Default: 150 (2 minutes 30 seconds)

summary_wait_time = <positive integer>
* Only valid when 'mode=manager' and 'summary_replication=true'.
* Specifies the time, in seconds, that the manager waits before
  scheduling fixups for a newly 'done' summary that transitioned
  from 'hot_done'. This allows for other copies of the 'hot_done'
  summary to also make their transition into 'done', avoiding
  unnecessary replications.
* Default: 660 (11 minutes)

commit_retry_time = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies the interval, in seconds, after which, if the last
  generation commit failed, the manager forces a retry. A retry is usually
  automatically kicked off after the appropriate events. This is just
  a backup to make sure that the manager does retry no matter what.
* Default: 300 (5 minutes)

percent_peers_to_restart = <integer between 0-100>
* Suggested percentage of maximum peers to restart for rolling-restart.
* Actual percentage may vary due to lack of granularity for smaller peer
  sets.
* Regardless of setting, a minimum of 1 peer is restarted per round.

percent_peers_to_reload = <integer between 0-100>
* Only valid for mode=master
* Suggested percentage of maximum peers to reload for bundle push.
* Actual percentage may vary due to lack of granularity for smaller peer
  sets.
* If set to 0, a minimum of 1 peer reloads the bundle per round.

max_peers_to_download_bundle = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'
* Maximum no. of peers to simultaneously download the configuration bundle
  from the manager, in response to the 'splunk apply cluster-bundle' command.
* When a peer finishes the download, the next waiting peer, if any, begins
  its download.
* If set to 0,  all peers try to download at once.
* Default: 5

precompress_cluster_bundle = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Whether or not the manager compresses the configuration bundle files before
  it pushes them to peers.
* When set to "true", the manager compresses the configuration bundle, which
  helps reduce network bandwidth consumption during the bundle push.
* Set this option to 'true' only when SSL compression is off. Otherwise, the
  files will be compressed twice, which wastes CPU resources and does not save
  network bandwidth. To turn off SSL compression, set
  'allowSslCompression = false' in server.conf on the manager.
* Compressed bundles are denoted by the suffix ".bundle.gz". Uncompressed
  bundles use the suffix ".bundle".
* Default: true

auto_rebalance_primaries = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies if the manager should automatically rebalance bucket
  primaries on certain triggers. Currently the only defined
  trigger is when a peer registers with the manager. When a peer
  registers, the manager redistributes the bucket primaries so the
  cluster can make use of any copies in the incoming peer.
* Default: true

rebalance_primaries_execution_limit = <non-negative integer>
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'rebalance_primaries_execution_limit_ms' setting instead.

rebalance_primaries_execution_limit_ms = <non-negative integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in milliseconds, the maximum period for one execution
  of the rebalance primary operation.
* This setting is useful for large clusters with large numbers of
  buckets, to prevent the primary rebalance operation from blocking
  other operations for significant amounts of time.
* The default value of 0 signifies auto mode.  In auto mode, the cluster
  manager uses the value of the 'service_interval' setting to determine the
  maximum time for the operation.
* Default: 0

commit_generation_execution_limit_ms = <non-negative integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies, in milliseconds, the maximum period for one execution
  of the committing pending generation.
* This setting is useful for large clusters with large numbers of
  buckets, to prevent the commit-geenration operation from blocking
  other operations for significant amounts of time.
* The default value of 0 signifies auto mode.  In auto mode, the cluster
  manager uses the value of the 'service_interval' setting to determine the
  maximum time for the operation.
* If 'service_interval' is auto, the range of this value will be within the
  range of 10ms and 25ms.
* Default: 0

idle_connections_pool_size = <integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies how many idle http(s) connections that should be kept
  alive to reuse.
* Reusing connections improves the time it takes to send messages to peers
  in the cluster.
* -1 corresponds to "auto", letting the manager determine the
  number of connections to keep around based on the number of peers in the
  cluster.
* Default: -1

use_batch_mask_changes = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'
* Specifies if the manager should process bucket mask changes in
  batch or individually one by one.
* Set to 'false' when there are version 6.1 peers in the cluster for
  backwards compatibility.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: true

service_jobs_msec = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Max time, in milliseconds, that the cluster manager spends in servicing
  finished jobs for each service call. Increase this if the 'metrics.log'
  file has very high 'current_size' values.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 100 (0.1 seconds)

summary_replication = true|false|disabled
* Valid for both 'mode=manager' and 'mode=peer'.
* Cluster Manager:
  If set to true, summary replication is enabled.
  If set to false, summary replication is disabled, but can be enabled
  at runtime.
  If set to disabled, summary replication is disabled. Summary replication
  cannot be enabled at runtime.
* Peers:
  If set to true or false, there is no effect. The indexer follows
  whatever setting is on the Cluster Manager.
  If set to disabled, summary replication is disabled. The indexer does
  no scanning of summaries (increased performance during peers joing
  the cluster for large clusters).
* Default: false (for both Cluster Manager and Peers)

rebalance_threshold = <number between 0.10 and 1.00>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* During rebalancing buckets amongst the cluster, this threshold is
  used as a percentage to determine when the cluster is balanced.
* 1.00 is 100% indexers fully balanced.
* Default: 0.90

max_auto_service_interval = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Only valid when 'service_interval' is in auto mode.
  For example service_interval=0.
* Indicates the maximum value, in seconds, that service interval is
  bounded by when the 'service_interval' is in auto mode. If the
  previous service call took more than 'max_auto_service_interval'
  seconds, the next service call runs after 'max_auto_service_interval'
  seconds.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 1

buckets_to_summarize = <primaries|primaries_and_hot|all>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Determines which buckets are sent to '| summarize' searches (searches that
  build report acceleration and data models).
* Set to "primaries" to apply only to primary buckets.
* Set to "primaries_and_hot" to also apply it to all hot searchable
  buckets.
* Set to "all" to apply the search to all buckets.
* If "summary_replication' is enabled, then 'buckets_to_summarize' defaults
  to "primaries_and_hot".
* Do not change this setting without first consulting with Splunk Support.
* Default: primaries

maintenance_mode = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* To preserve the maintenance mode setting in case of manager
  restart, the manager automatically updates this setting in the
  etc/system/local/server.conf file whenever the user enables or disables
  maintenance mode using CLI or REST.
* NOTE: Do not manually update this setting. Instead use CLI or REST
  to enable or disable maintenance mode.

backup_and_restore_primaries_in_maintenance = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Determines whether the manager performs a backup/restore of bucket
  primary masks during maintenance mode or rolling-restart of cluster peers.
* If set to true, restoration of primaries occurs automatically when the peers
  rejoin the cluster after a scheduled restart or upgrade.
* Default: false

max_primary_backups_per_service = <zero or positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* For use with the 'backup_and_restore_primaries_in_maintenance' setting.
* Determines the number of peers for which the manager backs up primary
  masks for each service call.
* The special value of 0 causes the manager to back up the primary masks for
  all peers in a single service call.
* Default: 10

allow_default_empty_p4symmkey = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Affects behavior of manager during start-up, if 'pass4SymmKey'resolves
  to the null string or the default password ("changeme").
* If set to true, the manager posts a warning but still launches.
* If set to false, the manager posts a warning and stops.
* Default: true

register_replication_address = <IP address or fully qualified machine/domain name>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* This is the address on which a peer is available for accepting
  replication data. This is useful in the cases where a peer host machine
  has multiple interfaces and only one of them can be reached by another
  splunkd instance

register_forwarder_address = <IP address or fully qualified machine/domain name>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* This is the address on which a peer is available for accepting
  data from forwarder.This is useful in the cases where a splunk host
  machine has multiple interfaces and only one of them can be reached by
  another splunkd instance.

register_search_address = <IP address, or fully qualified machine/domain name>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'
* This is the address that advertises the peer to search heads.
  This is useful in the cases where a splunk host machine has multiple
  interfaces and only one of them can be reached by another splunkd
  instance.

executor_workers = <positive integer>
* Only valid if 'mode=manager' or 'mode=peer'.
* Number of threads that can be used by the clustering thread pool.
* A value of 0 defaults to 1.
* Default: 10
* This setting reloads automatically and does not require a restart.

local_executor_workers = <positive integer>
* DEPRECATED.

manual_detention = on|on_ports_enabled|off
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Puts this peer node in manual detention.
* Default: off

allowed_hbmiss_count = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Sets the count of number of heartbeat failures before the peer node
  disconnects from the manager.
* Default: 3

buckets_per_addpeer = <non-negative integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the number of buckets for each add peer request.
* When a peer is added or re-added to the cluster, it sends the manager
  information for each of its buckets. Depending on the number of buckets,
  this could take a while. For example, a million buckets could require
  more than a minute of the manager's processing time. To prevent the manager
  from being occupied by this single task too long, you can use this setting to
  split large numbers of buckets into several"batch-add-peer" requests.
* If it is invalid or non-existant, the peer uses the default setting instead.
* If it is set to 0, the peer sends only one request with all buckets
  instead of batches.
* You do not need to restart the cluster peer when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: 1000

heartbeat_period = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the frequency the peer attempts to send heartbeats.

bucketsize_mismatch_strategy = smallest | largest
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* This setting determines how the manager decides which target peer's bucket copy
  is retained on the cluster when the source peer is not present at the time
  that a hot bucket is rolled, and there is a bucket size mismatch between
  the target peers
* When "largest" is selected, the largest copy of the bucket on any target
  peer gets propagated to the other peers through fixups, overwriting all other
  copies.
* When "smallest" is selected, the smallest copy of the bucket on any target
  peer gets propagated to the other peers through fixups, overwriting all other
  copies.
* Do not alter this value without contacting Splunk Support.
* Default: largest

remote_storage_upload_timeout = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* For a remote storage enabled index, this attribute specifies the interval
  in seconds, after which target peers assume responsibility for
  uploading a bucket to the remote storage, if they do not hear from
  the source peer.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster peer.
* Default: 60 (1 minute)

report_remote_storage_bucket_upload_to_targets = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* For a remote storage enabled index, this attribute specifies whether
  the source peer reports the successful bucket upload to target peers.
  This notification is used by target peers to cancel their upload timers
  and synchronize their bucket state with the uploaded bucket on remote
  storage.
* Do not change the value from the default unless instructed by
  Splunk Support.
* You do not need to restart the cluster manager when making changes to
  this setting. This setting reloads automatically.
* Default: false

remote_storage_retention_period = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* The interval, in seconds, after which the manager checks buckets
  in remote storage enabled indexes against the retention policy.
  It then triggers freeze operations on the cluster peers as necessary.
* This setting also determines the time that the manager waits
  following a restart before checking retention policy.
* For details on retention policies, examine the
  'maxGlobalDataSizeMB' and 'frozenTimePeriodInSecs' settings.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster manager.
* Default: 900 (15 minutes)

recreate_bucket_attempts_from_remote_storage = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Controls the number of attempts the manager makes to recreate the
  bucket of a remote storage enabled index on a random peer node
  in these scenarios:
    * Manager detects that the bucket is not present on any peers.
    * A peer informs the manager about the bucket as part of the
      re-creation of an index.
      See recreate_index_attempts_from_remote_storage attribute.
* Re-creation of the bucket involves the following steps:
    1. Manager provides a random peer with the bucket ID of the bucket that
       needs to be recreated.
    2. Peer fetches the metadata of the bucket corresponding to this
       bucket ID from the remote storage.
    3. Peer creates a bucket with the fetched metadata locally and informs
       the manager that a new bucket has been added.
    4. Manager initiates fix-ups to add the bucket on the necessary number
       of additional peers to match the replication and search factors.
* If set to 0, disables the re-creation of the bucket.
* Default: 10

recreate_bucket_max_per_service = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Only applies when using remote storage enabled indexes.
* Controls the maximum number of buckets that the cluster can recreate
  during a service interval.
* Do not change the value from the default unless instructed by
  Splunk Support.
* If set to 0, recreating buckets will go at full speed.
* Default: 20000

recreate_bucket_fetch_manifest_batch_size = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Controls the maximum number of bucket IDs for which a peer
  attempts to initiate a parallel fetch of manifests at a time
  in the process of recreating buckets that have been
  requested by the manager.
* The manager sends this setting to all the peers that are
  involved in the process of recreating the buckets.
* Default: 50

recreate_index_attempts_from_remote_storage = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Controls the number of attempts the manager makes to recreate
  a remote storage enabled index on a random peer node when the manager
  is informed about the index by a peer.
* Re-creation of an index involves the following steps:
    1. Manager pushes a bundle either when it is ready for service or
       when requested by the user.
    2. Manager waits for the bundle to be applied successfully on the
       peer nodes.
    3. Manager requests that a random peer node provide it with the list
       of newly added remote storage enabled indexes.
    4. Manager distributes a subset of indexes from this list to
       random peer nodes.
    5. Each of those peer nodes fetches the list of bucket IDs for the
       requested index from the remote storage and provides it
       to the manager.
    6. The manager uses the list of bucket IDs to recreate the buckets.
       See recreate_bucket_attempts_from_remote_storage.
* If set to 0, disables the re-creation of the index.
* Default: 10

recreate_index_fetch_bucket_batch_size = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Controls the maximum number of bucket IDs that the manager
  requests a random peer node to fetch from remote storage as part of
  a single transaction for a remote storage enabled index.
  The manager uses the bucket IDs for re-creation of the index.
  See the 'recreate_index_attempts_from_remote_storage' setting.
* Default: 2000

use_batch_remote_rep_changes = <boolean> or <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies whether the manager processes bucket copy changes (to meet
  replication_factor and search_factor) in batch or individually.
* Also controls the maximum number of bucket replications that are processed in
  one replication batch.
* This is applicable to buckets belonging to
  remote storage enabled indexes only.
* Do not change this setting without consulting with Splunk Support.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster manager.
* If 'false' is specified, batching of buckets would be turned off
* If 'true' is specified, batching of buckets would be turned on, the maximum
  number of buckets processed per batch would be the system default (1000)
* If 0 is specified, batching of buckets would be turned off
* If <any non zero positive integer> is specified, batching of buckets
  would be turned on, and the maximum number of buckets processed per batch
  would be the value of the integer specified
* Default: 1000

max_peer_batch_rep_load = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* This setting is applicable to buckets belonging to
  remote storage enabled indexes only.
* Only valid when 'use_batch_remote_rep_changes=true'
* This setting specifies the maximum number of concurrent batch replications
  that a peer node can take part in, as a source.
* Default: 5

enable_primary_fixup_during_maintenance = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies whether the manager performs primary fixups during
  maintenance mode. This gets overridden by searchable rolling restart.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster manager.
* Default: true

freeze_during_maintenance = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Specifies whether the manager will tell peers to freeze buckets during
  maintenance mode.
* This setting is dynamically reloadable and does not require restart
  of cluster manager.
* Default: false

assign_primaries_to_all_sites = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager' and 'multisite=true'
* Controls how the manager assigns bucket primary copies on a
  multisite cluster.
* If set to 'true', the manager assigns a primary copy to each site
  defined in 'available_sites', as well as site0.
* If set to 'false':
  * The manager assigns a primary copy only to sites with a search head.
  * Sites without search heads do not get primary copies.
  * When a new site with a search head joins the cluster, or an existing
    site attains its first search head, the cluster manager gradually
    adds all buckets in the cluster to its fixup list to ensure that the
    site will be populated with primaries.
  * If a site loses its search heads, no action is taken to remove
    existing primaries from the site.
* Setting this parameter to 'false' can significantly reduce the work of primary
  assignments, especially if search heads are only on site0 and
  search affinity is disabled.
* Default: false

log_bucket_during_addpeer = <boolean>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'
* Controls the log level for bucket information during add-peer activities.
* If set to 'true', the manager logs bucket information to INFO level under
  CMMaster componenet during add-peer.

  CMMaster component during add-peer.
* Set to 'false' for large clusters with large numbers of buckets.
* Default: false

max_concurrent_peers_joining = <nonzero integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Limits the number of peers that are allowed to join the cluster at one time.
* The peer reports its buckets to the cluster manager upon first establishing a
  connection with the manager, and it finishes joining the cluster when all of
  its buckets have been reported.
* Once this limit is hit, any remaining peers check at one second intervals
  for an available slot to join the cluster.
* By limiting the number of peers that can join simultaneously, this setting
  can facilitate faster restart for some peers, thus more quickly restoring
  partial ingest to the cluster.
* Default: 10

enable_parallel_add_peer = <bool>
* Only valid for 'mode=manager'.
* Enables the cluster manager to accept and process multiple 'add peer' requests
  in parallel.
* The upper limit of concurrent 'add peer' requests that the manager can handle is
  limited by the 'max_concurrent_peers_joining setting'.
* When this feature is enabled, the largest recommended value for
  'max_concurrent_peers_joining' is half the number of CPU cores of
  the indexer. For example, if the indexer has 24 CPU cores, the largest
  recommended value for 'max_concurrent_peers_joining' is 12.
* This setting is useful for clusters with large numbers of buckets
  and large numbers of indexers.  It also improves the responsiveness
  of the cluster manager, helping to prevent unnecessary timeouts.
* Default: true

buckets_status_notification_batch_size = <positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the number of existing buckets IDs that the peer
  reports to the manager every notify_scan_period seconds.

  2. summary_registration_batch_size
* CAUTION: Do not modify this setting without guidance from
  Splunk personnel.
* Default: 10

notify_scan_min_period = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the highest frequency, in milliseconds, that the indexer
  scans summary folders
  for summary updates/registrations. The notify_scan_period temporarily
  becomes notify_scan_min_period when there are more summary
  updates/registration events to be processed but has been limited due to
  either summary_update_batch_size or summary_registration_batch_size.
* CAUTION: Do not modify this setting without guidance from Splunk
  personnel.
* Default: 10

notify_buckets_period = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the frequency, in milliseconds, that the indexer handles
  buckets_status_notification_batch_size
* CAUTION: Do not modify this setting without guidance from
  Splunk personnel.
* Default: 10

summary_update_batch_size = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the number of summary updates the indexer sends per batch to
  the manager every notify_scan_period.
* CAUTION: Do not modify this setting without guidance from
  Splunk personnel.
* Default: 10

summary_registration_batch_size = <non-zero positive integer>
* Only valid for 'mode=peer'.
* Controls the number of summaries that get asynchronously registered
  on the indexer and sent as a batch to the manager every
  notify_scan_period.

s2sHeartbeatTimeout = <seconds>
* This specifies the global timeout value, in seconds, for monitoring
  heartbeats on replication connections.
* Splunk software closes a replication connection if heartbeat is not seen
  for 's2sHeartbeatTimeout' seconds.
* Replication source sends heartbeats every 30 seconds.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)

throwOnBucketBuildReadError = <boolean>
* Valid only for 'mode=peer'.
* If set to true, index clustering peer throws an exception if it
  encounters a journal read error while building the bucket for a new
  searchable copy. It also throws all the search & other files generated
  so far in this particular bucket build.
* If set to false, index clustering peer just logs the error and preserves
  all the search & other files generated so far & finalizes them as it
  cannot proceed further with this bucket.
* Default: false

cluster_label = <string>
* This specifies the label of the indexer cluster

warm_bucket_replication_pre_upload = <boolean>
* Valid only for 'mode=peer'.
* This setting applies to remote storage enabled indexes only.
* If set to true, the target peers replicate all warm bucket contents when necessary for
  bucket-fixing if the source peer has not yet uploaded the bucket to remote storage.
* If set to false, the target peers never replicate warm bucket contents.
* In either case the target peers replicate metadata only, once the source peer uploads
  the bucket to remote storage.
* Default: false

bucketsize_upload_preference = largest | smallest
* Valid only for 'mode=peer'.
* This setting applies to remote storage enabled indexes only.
* This setting determines the criteria a target peer uses when deciding whether to
  overwrite a bucket copy uploaded to remote storage by another target peer. Target
  peers never overwrite copies uploaded by a source peer.
* When "largest" is selected, the largest copy of the bucket on any target
  peer gets uploaded.
* When "smallest" is selected, the smallest copy of the bucket on any target
  peer gets uploaded.
* Note, this and "bucketsize_mismatch_strategy" should follow same scheme.
* Do not alter this value without contacting Splunk Support.
* Default: largest

upload_rectifier_timeout_secs = <unsigned integer>
* Valid only for 'mode=peer'.
* This setting applies to remote storage enabled indexes only.
* When a peer uploads a bucket copy to remote storage, it checks, after a ,
  timeout based on the value of this setting, to determine whether another
  peer overwrote the copy.
* Depending on the value of "bucketsize_upload_preference" it will determine
  if the bucket needs to be re-uploaded.
* This setting controls the timeout that the peer waits before checking.
* Default: 2

[clustermanager:<stanza>]
* Only valid for 'mode=searchhead' when the search head is a part of
  multiple clusters.

master_uri = <uri>
* DEPRECATED. Use the 'manager_uri' setting instead.

  arbitrary node from connecting to the cluster. If a search head
  is not configured with the same secret as the manager,
  it not be able to communicate with the manager.
* If it is not present here, the key in the clustering stanza is used.
  If it is not present in the clustering stanza, the value in the general
  stanza is used.
* Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$", as this is used by
  Splunk software to determine if the password is already encrypted.
* No default.

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

site = <site-id>
* Specifies the site this search head belongs to for this particular manager
  when multisite is enabled (see below).
* Valid values for site-id include site0 to site63.
* The special value "site0" disables site affinity for a search head in a
  multisite cluster. It is only valid for a search head.

multisite = <boolean>
* Turns on the multisite feature for this manager_uri for the search head.
* Make sure the manager has the multisite feature turned on.
* Make sure you specify the site in case this is set to true. If no

       (examples: "10/8", "192.168.1/24", "fe80:1234/32")
    3. A DNS name, possibly with a "*" used as a wildcard
       (examples: "myhost.example.com", "*.splunk.com")
    4. "*", which matches anything
* You can also prefix an entry with '!' to cause the rule to reject the
  connection. The input applies rules in order, and uses the first one that
  matches.
  For example, "!10.1/16, *" allows connections from everywhere except
  the 10.1.*.* network.
* Default: "*" (accept from anywhere)

[replication_port-ssl://<port>]

cipherSuite = <cipher suite string>
* If set, uses the specified cipher string for the SSL connection.
* Must specify 'dhFile' to enable any Diffie-Hellman ciphers.
* Default: The default can vary (See the cipherSuite setting in
  the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/server.conf file for the current default)

sslVersions = <versions_list>
* Comma-separated list of SSL versions to support.
* The versions available are "ssl3", "tls1.0", "tls1.1", and "tls1.2".
* The special version "*" selects all supported versions.  The version "tls"
  selects all versions tls1.0 or newer.
* If a version is prefixed with "-" it is removed from the list.
* SSLv2 is always disabled; "-ssl2" is accepted in the version list but
  does nothing.
* When configured in FIPS mode, ssl3 is always disabled regardless
  of this configuration.

  that can be validated by certificate authority specified in rootCA.
* Default: false

allowSslRenegotiation = <boolean>
* In the SSL protocol, a client may request renegotiation of the connection
  settings from time to time.
* Setting this to false causes the server to reject all renegotiation
  attempts, breaking the connection.  This limits the amount of CPU a
  single TCP connection can use, but it can cause connectivity problems
  especially for long-lived connections.
* Default: true

sslCommonNameToCheck = <commonName1>, <commonName2>, ...
* Optional.

  data ("i-data") consumed, and reported on, by 'introspection_viewer_app'
  (due to ship with a future release).
* This stanza controls the collection of i-data about: indexes; bucket
  superdirectories (homePath, coldPath, ...); volumes; search dispatch
  artifacts.
* On forwarders the collection of index, volumes and dispatch disk objects
  is disabled.

acquireExtra_i_data = true | false
* If true, extra Disk Objects i-data is emitted; you can gain more insight
  into your site, but at the cost of greater resource consumption both
  directly (the collection itself) and indirectly (increased disk and
  bandwidth utilization, to store the produced i-data).
* Please consult documentation for list of regularly emitted Disk Objects
  i-data, and extra Disk Objects i-data, appropriate to your release.
* Default: false

collectionPeriodInSecs = <positive integer>
* Controls frequency of Disk Objects i-data collection; higher frequency
  (hence, smaller period) gives a more accurate picture, but at the cost of

disabled = true | false
* If not specified, inherits the value from
  [introspection:generator:disk_objects] stanza.

collectionPeriodInSecs = <positive integer>
* Controls frequency, in seconds, of Disk Objects - summaries
  collection; higher frequency (hence, smaller period) gives a more accurate
  picture, but at the cost of greater resource consumption directly
  (the summaries collection itself);
  it is not recommended for a period less than 15 minutes.
* If you enable summary collection, the first collection happens 5 minutes
  after the Splunk instance is started. For every subsequent collection, this

* Per-process i-data for Splunk search processes include additional,
  search-specific, information.

acquireExtra_i_data = true | false
* If set to true, extra Resource Usage i-data is emitted; you can gain
  more insight into your site, but at the cost of greater resource
  consumption both directly (the collection itself) and indirectly
  (increased disk and bandwidth utilization, to store the produced i-data).
* Please consult documentation for list of regularly emitted Resource Usage
  i-data, and extra Resource Usage i-data, appropriate to your release.
* Default: false

collectionPeriodInSecs = <positive integer>
* Controls frequency of Resource Usage i-data collection; higher frequency
  (hence, smaller period) gives a more accurate picture, but at the cost of
  greater resource consumption both directly (the collection itself) and
  indirectly (increased disk and bandwidth utilization, to store the
  produced i-data).
* Default: 600 (10 minutes) on Universal Forwarders, and 10 (1/6th of a minute)
  on non-Universal Forwarders

[introspection:generator:resource_usage__iostats]

  'introspection:generator:resource_usage' stanza, and may be enabled/disabled
  independently of it.

collectionPeriodInSecs = <positive integer>
* Controls interval of IO Statistics i-data collection; higher intervals
  gives a more accurate picture, but at the cost of greater resource consumption
  both directly (the collection itself) and indirectly (increased disk and
  bandwidth utilization, to store the produced i-data).
* Default: 60 (1 minute)

[introspection:generator:kvstore]
* For 'introspection_generator_addon', packaged with Splunk Enterprise.

# Data Fabric Search (DFS) Configuration
############################################################################

[dfs]

disabled = <boolean>
* When set to 'false' for the [dfs] stanza, this setting enables data fabric
  search functionality for this instance.

  process in a separate process. This process is central to Data Fabric Search
  funtionality.
* Default: true

dfc_ip_address = <IP address>
* This setting provides the host IP address of the data fabric coordinator
  (DFC) process.
* Data Fabric Search uses the DFC process to run DFS queries on DFS
  worker nodes. The DFC process needs to know its own IP address.

# search head clustering configuration
############################################################################

[shclustering]
disabled = <boolean>
* Disables or enables search head clustering on this instance.
* When enabled, the captain needs to be selected via a
  bootstrap mechanism. Once bootstrapped, further captain
  selections are made via a dynamic election mechanism.
* When enabled, you must also specify the cluster member's own server
  address / management URI for identification purpose. This can be
  done in 2 ways: by specifying the 'mgmt_uri' setting individually on
  each member or by specfing pairs of 'GUID, mgmt-uri' strings in the
  servers_list attribute.
* Default: true

mgmt_uri = [ mgmt-URI ]
* The management URI is used to identify the cluster member's own address to
  itself.
* Either 'mgmt_uri' or 'servers_list' is necessary.
* The 'mgmt_uri' setting is simpler to author but is unique for each member.
* The 'servers_list' setting is more involved, but can be copied as a
  config string to all members in the cluster.

servers_list = [ <(GUID, mgmt-uri);>+ ]
* A semicolon separated list of instance GUIDs and management URIs.
* Each member uses its GUID to identify its own management URI.

adhoc_searchhead = <boolean>
* This setting configures a member as an ad-hoc search head; i.e., the member
  does not run any scheduled jobs.
* Use the setting 'captain_is_adhoc_searchhead' to reduce compute load on the
  captain.
* Default: false

no_artifact_replications = <boolean>
* Prevent this Search Head Cluster member to be selected as a target for
  replications.
* This is an advanced setting, and not to be changed without proper
  understanding of the implications.
* Default: false

precompress_artifacts = <boolean>
* Determines whether this search head cluster member compresses the
  search artifacts before replicating them to other members.
* When set to "true", the search head compresses the artifacts
  before replicating them to all other members.
  This helps reduce network bandwidth consumption during artifact replications.
* Set this option to 'true' only when SSL compression is off on
  each search head cluster member. To turn off SSL compression, set
  'allowSslCompression = false' in the [sslconfig] stanza in server.conf
  of each member.
* Default: true

captain_is_adhoc_searchhead = <boolean>
* This setting prohibits the captain from running scheduled jobs.
* The captain is dedicated to controlling the activities of the cluster,
  but can also run adhoc search jobs from clients.
* Default: false

preferred_captain = <boolean>
* The cluster tries to assign captaincy to a member with
 'preferred_captain=true'.
* Note that it is not always possible to assign captaincy to a member with
  preferred_captain=true - for example, if none of the preferred members is
  reachable over the network. In that case, captaincy might remain on a
  member with preferred_captain=false.
* Default: true

prevent_out_of_sync_captain = <boolean>
* This setting prevents a node that could not sync config changes to current
  captain from becoming the cluster captain.
* This setting takes precedence over the preferred_captain setting. For example,
  if there are one or more preferred captain nodes but the nodes cannot
  sync config changes with the current captain, then the current captain
  retains captaincy even if it is not a preferred captain.
* This must be set to the same value on all members.
* Default: true

* Determines how many copies of search artifacts are created in the cluster.
* This must be set to the same value on all members.
* Default: 3

pass4SymmKey = <password>
* Secret shared among the members in the search head cluster to prevent any
  arbitrary instance from connecting to the cluster.
* All members must use the same value.
* If set in the [shclustering] stanza, it takes precedence over any setting
  in the [general] stanza.
* Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$", as this is used by
  Splunk software to determine if the password is already encrypted.
* Default: The 'changeme' from the [general] stanza in the default the
  server.conf file.

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

async_replicate_on_proxy = <boolean>
* If the jobs/${sid}/results REST endpoint had to be proxied to a different
  member due to missing local replica, this attribute automatically
  schedules an async replication to that member when set to true.

* If SHPMaster info is switched on in log.cfg, then captain statistics
  are dumped in splunkd.log after the specified number of service periods.
  Purely a debugging aid.
* Default: 500

long_running_jobs_poll_period = <integer>
* Long running delegated jobs are polled by the captain every
  "long_running_jobs_poll_period" seconds to ascertain whether they are
  still running, in order to account for potential node/member failure.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)

scheduling_heuristic = <string>

  data.
* Default: 5

rep_send_timeout = <integer>
* Low-level timeout, in seconds, for sending replication slice data
  between cluster members.
* This is a soft timeout. When this timeout is triggered on source peer,
  it tries to determine if target is still alive. If it is still alive,
  it reset the timeout for another rep_send_timeout interval and continues.
  If target has failed or cumulative timeout has exceeded
  rep_max_send_timeout, replication fails.
* Default: 5

rep_rcv_timeout = <integer>
* Low-level timeout, in seconds, for receiving acknowledgement data from
  members.
* This is a soft timeout. When this timeout is triggered on source member,
  it tries to determine if target is still alive. If it is still alive,
  it reset the timeout for another rep_send_timeout interval and continues.
  If target has failed or cumulative timeout has exceeded
  the 'rep_max_rcv_timeout' setting, replication fails.
* Default: 10

rep_max_send_timeout = <integer>
* Maximum send timeout, in seconds, for sending replication slice data
  between cluster members.
* On 'rep_send_timeout' source peer determines if total send timeout has
  exceeded rep_max_send_timeout. If so, replication fails.
* If cumulative rep_send_timeout exceeds 'rep_max_send_timeout', replication
  fails.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)

rep_max_rcv_timeout = <integer>
* Maximum cumulative receive timeout, in seconds, for receiving acknowledgement
  data from members.
* On 'rep_rcv_timeout' source member determines if total receive timeout has
  exceeded 'rep_max_rcv_timeout'. If so, replication fails.
* Default: 600 (10 minutes)

log_heartbeat_append_entries = <boolean>
* If true, Splunk software logs the the low-level heartbeats between members in

  of the captain authority over other members.
* Default: false

election_timeout_ms = <positive_integer>
* The amount of time, in milliseconds, that a member waits before
  trying to become the captain.
* Note that modifying this value can alter the heartbeat period (See
  election_timeout_2_hb_ratio for further details)
* A very low value of election_timeout_ms can lead to unnecessary captain
  elections.
* Default: 60000 (1 minute)

election_timeout_2_hb_ratio = <positive_integer>
* The ratio between the election timeout, set in election_timeout_ms, and
  the raft heartbeat period.
* Raft heartbeat period = election_timeout_ms / election_timeout_2_hb_ratio
* A typical ratio between 5 - 20 is desirable. Default is 12 to keep the
  raft heartbeat period at 5s, i.e election_timeout_ms(60000ms) / 12
* This ratio determines the number of heartbeat attempts that would fail
  before a member starts to timeout and tries to become the captain.

heartbeat_timeout = <positive integer>
* The amount of time, in seconds, that the captain considers a member down.
  After a member is down, the captain initiates fixup steps to replicate
  artifacts from the dead member to its peers.
* This heartbeat exchanges data between the captain and members, which helps in
  maintaining the in-memory centralized state for all the cluster members.
* Note that this heartbeat is different from the Raft heartbeat described
  in the 'election_timeout_2_hb_ratio' setting.
* Default: 60 (1 minute)

raft_rpc_backoff_time_ms = <positive integer>
* Provides a delay, in milliseconds, should a raft RPC request fail.
* This avoids rapid connection requests being made to unreachable peers.
* This setting should not normally be changed from the default.
* Default: 5000 (5 seconds)

access_logging_for_heartbeats = <boolean>
* Only valid on captain
* Enables/disables logging to the splunkd_access.log file for member heartbeats

  % splunk edit shcluster-config -access_logging_for_heartbeats <<boolean>>
* Default: false (logging disabled)

restart_timeout = <positive integer>
* This is the amount of time the captain waits for a member to come
  back when the instance is restarted (to avoid the overhead of
  trying to fixup the artifacts that were on the peer).

quiet_period = <positive integer>
* Determines the amount of time, in seconds, for which a newly
  elected captain waits for members to join. During this period the
  captain does not initiate any fixups but instead waits for the
  members to register themselves. Job scheduling and conf
  replication still happen as usual during this time. At the end
  of this time period, the captain builds its view of the cluster
  based on the registered peers and starts normal
  processing.
* Default: 60

max_peer_rep_load = <integer>
* This is the maximum number of concurrent replications that a
  member can take part in as a target.
* Default: 5

target_wait_time = <positive integer>

  of a replication to register itself before it services the artifact again
  and potentially schedules another fixup.
* Default: 150

manual_detention = on|off

percent_peers_to_restart = <integer>
* The percentage of members to restart at one time during rolling restarts.
* Actual percentage may vary due to lack of granularity for smaller peer
  sets regardless of setting, a minimum of 1 peer is restarted per

* CAUTION: Do not set this attribute to a value greater than 20%.
  Otherwise, issues can arise during the captain election process.

rolling_restart_with_captaincy_exchange = <boolean>
* If this boolean is turned on, captain tries to exchange captaincy
  with another node during rolling restart.
* If set to false, captain restarts and captaincy transfers to some
  other node.
* Default: true

rolling_restart = restart|searchable|searchable_force
* Determines the rolling restart mode for a search head cluster.
* If set to restart, a rolling restart runs in classic mode.
* If set to searchable, a rolling restart runs in searchable (minimal

  searchable rolling restart, but overrides the health check
* Note: You do not have to restart any search head members to set this
  parameter.
  Run this CLI command from any member:
  % splunk edit shcluster-config -rolling_restart
    restart|searchable|searchable_force

* Note: You do not have to restart search head members to set this parameter.
  Run this CLI command from any member:
  % splunk edit shcluster-config -decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs
    <positive integer>
* Note: If this setting is used 'decommission_search_jobs_wait_secs'
  defined in the '[general]' stanza should be left unchanged at it default value.
* Default: 180

register_replication_address = <IP address ormachine/domain name>
* This setting is the address on which a member is available for
  accepting replication data. This is useful in the cases where a member
  host machine has multiple interfaces and only one of them can be reached
  by another splunkd instance.
* Can be an IP address, or fully qualified machine/domain name.

executor_workers = <positive integer>
* Number of threads that can be used by the search head clustering
  threadpool.
* A value of 0 is interpreted as 1.
* Default: 10

heartbeat_period = <non-zero positive integer>
* Controls the frequency, in seconds, with which the member attempts
  to send heartbeats to the captain.
* This heartbeat exchanges data between the captain and members, which
  helps in maintaining the in-memory centralized state for all the

    3. A DNS name, possibly with a "*" used as a wildcard
       (examples: "myhost.example.com", "*.splunk.com")
    4. "*", which matches anything
* You can also prefix an entry with '!' to cause the rule to reject the
  connection. The input applies rules in order, and uses the first one that
  matches.
  For example, "!10.1/16, *" allows connections from everywhere except
  the 10.1.*.* network.
* Default: "*" (accept from anywhere)

[replication_port-ssl://<port>]

serverCert = <path>
* Full path to file containing private key and server certificate.
* The <path> must refer to a PEM format file.
* No default.

sslPassword = <password>
* Server certificate password, if any.
* No default.

  that can be validated by certificate authority specified in rootCA.
* Default: false

allowSslRenegotiation = <boolean>
* In the SSL protocol, a client may request renegotiation of the connection
  settings from time to time.
* Setting this to false causes the server to reject all renegotiation
  attempts, breaking the connection.  This limits the amount of CPU a
  single TCP connection can use, but it can cause connectivity problems
  especially for long-lived connections.
* Default: true

  splunkd.
* Default: 300

replication_host = <host>
* The host name to access the KV Store.
* This setting has no effect on a single Splunk instance.
* When using search head clustering, if the "replication_host" value is not
  set in the [kvstore] stanza, the host you specify for
  "mgmt_uri" in the [shclustering] stanza is used for KV
  Store connection strings and replication.

  location.
* Default: $SPLUNK_DB/kvstore

storageEngine = mmapv1 | wiredTiger
* The storage engine that KV Store uses to manage its data.
* "mmapv1" will be deprecated for KV Store. Where possible, use the "wiredTiger" option,
  which is more performant.
* When you upgrade the Splunk platform, you get the option to upgrade the KV Store
  storage engine. If you choose not to, you can upgrade the engine later using the
  'splunk migrate kvstore-storage-engine' CLI command.
* Default: mmapv1

storageEngineMigration = <boolean> 
* Whether or not you can migrate the KV Store storage engine on this instance.

  depending on the following scenarios:
  * If this instance is standalone, you can migrate the engine during
    an upgrade by enabling this setting with a "true" value as part of 
    the upgrade process and answering affirmatively when that process 
    prompts you, or after an upgrade by using the
    'splunk migrate kvstore-storage-engine' CLI command.
  * If it is a part of a search head cluster, you can perform the migration using the
    '/services/shcluster/captain/kvmigrate/start' REST endpoint.
* If you set this to "false", you cannot migrate the storage engine.
* Default: false

oplogSize = <integer>
* The size of the replication operation log, in megabytes, for environments
  with search head clustering or search head pooling.
  In a standalone environment, 20% of this size is used.

  of the KV Store is required.
* Do not change this setting without first consulting with Splunk Support.
* Default: 1000 (1GB)

replicationWriteTimeout = <integer>
* The time to wait, in seconds, for replication to complete while saving KV
  store operations. When the value is 0, the process never times out.

* When the number of active connections exceeds this value, KV Store will
  reject new connection attempts until at least one active connection closes.
* Do not change this setting without first consulting with Splunk Support.
* Default: 500

caCertFile = <path>
* DEPRECATED; use '[sslConfig]/sslRootCAPath' instead.

  specify a non-empty value for at least one of the following attributes:
  Organization (O), the Organizational Unit (OU) or the
  Domain Component (DC).
* Only used when Common Criteria is enabled (SPLUNK_COMMON_CRITERIA=1)
  or FIPS is enabled (i.e. SPLUNK_FIPS=1).
* NOTE: Splunk plans to submit Splunk Enterprise for Common Criteria
  evaluation. Splunk does not support using the product in Common
  Criteria mode until it has been certified by NIAP. See the "Securing

  searches.
* Default: 1000 (1 second)

modificationsMaxReadSec = <integer>
* Maximum time interval KVStore can spend while checking for modifications
  before it produces collection dumps for distributed searches.
* Default: 30

initialSyncMaxFetcherRestarts = <positive integer>
* Specifies the maximum number of query restarts an oplog fetcher can perform
  before failing the ongoing Initial Sync attempt.
* Increasing this value might help in dynamic deployments with very large
  KV Store databases where Initial Sync might take a long time.
* NOTE: This setting should be changed only if you have been asked to set it by
  a Splunk Support engineer. It might increase KV Store cluster failover time.
* Default: 0


delayShutdownOnBackupRestoreInProgress = <boolean>
* Whether or not splunkd should delay a shutdown if a KV Store backup or restore
  operation is in progress.
* If set to "true", splunkd waits until either the running backup/restore operation
  completes, or 'splunkd_stop_timeout' seconds have elapsed since it received
  the shutdown request.
* NOTE: Setting this to "true" might delay splunkd shutdown for several minutes,
  depending on the amount of data that KV Store uses and the value of
  'splunkd_stop_timeout'.
* Default: false

percRAMForCache = <positive integer>
* The percentage of total system memory that KV store can use.
* Value can range from 5 to 50, inclusive.
* If less than 1 GB of system memory is present, only 256 MB of cache will be used.
* If you have less than 256 MB of system memory, you cannot use KVStore with wiredTiger.
* Changing this value can affect performance on KV store,
  Splunk Enterprise apps that use KV store, and KV store lookups.
  For more information, search the Splunk documentation for "KV store troubleshooting tools".
* If you are not using the WiredTiger storage engine, Splunk Enterprise ignores this setting.
* Default: 15

############################################################################
[indexer_discovery]
pass4SymmKey = <password>
* Security key shared between manager node and forwarders.
* If specified here, the same value must also be specified on all forwarders
  connecting to this manager.
* Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$", as this is used by
  Splunk software to determine if the password is already encrypted.

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

polling_rate = <integer>
* A value between 1 to 10. This value affects the forwarder polling
  frequency to achieve the desired polling rate. The number of connected
  forwarders is also taken into consideration.
* The formula used to determine effective polling interval,
  in Milliseconds, is:
  (number_of_forwarders/polling_rate + 30 seconds) * 1000
* Default: 10

indexerWeightByDiskCapacity = <boolean>
* If set to true, it instructs the forwarders to use weighted load
  balancing. In weighted load balancing, load balancing is based on the
  total disk capacity  of the target indexers, with the forwarder streaming
  more data to indexers with larger disks.
*  The traffic sent to each indexer is based on the ratio of:
   indexer_disk_capacity/total_disk_capacity_of_indexers_combined
* Default: false

pass4SymmKey = <password>
* Security key shared between indexers participating in cascading replication.
* The same value must be specified on all indexers participating in cascading replication.
* Unencrypted passwords must not begin with "$1$", as this is used by
  Splunk software to determine if the password is already encrypted.
* Empty passwords will not be accepted.
* Default: None

pass4SymmKey_minLength = <integer>
* The minimum length, in characters, that a 'pass4SymmKey' should be for a particular stanza.
* When you start the Splunk platform, if the 'pass4SymmKey' is shorter in length than
  what you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* If you use the CLI to modify 'pass4SymmKey' to a value that is shorter than what
  you specify with this setting, the platform warns you and advises that you
  change the pass4SymKey.
* Default: 12

max_replication_threads = <integer>
* Maximum threads used for replicating metadata and payload to search peers.
* If set to "auto", the peer auto-tunes the number of threads it uses for
  cascading replication.
    * If the peer has 3 or fewer CPUs, it allocates 2 threads.
    * If the peer has 4-7 CPUs, it allocates up to '# of CPUs - 2' threads.
    * If the peer has 8-15 CPUs, it allocates up to '# of CPUs - 3' threads.
    * If the peer has 16 or more CPUs, it allocates up to
      '# of CPUs - 4' threads.
* Maximum accepted value for this setting is 16.

* The interval can be specified as a string for minutes, seconds, hours, or days.
  For example: 60s, 1m, 1h, 1d etc.
* Maximum accepted value is 24h
* Default: 8h

cascade_replication_plan_fanout = auto|<positive integer>
* Number of receivers that each sender replicates to at a time.
* If set to auto, Splunk automatically calculates an optimal fanout, based on
  the maximum number of replication threads, as determined by the
  'max_replication_threads' setting under [cascading_replication] in server.conf.
* If set to an integer, the integer must be no greater than the number of cluster
  peers, or, in the case of multisite clustering, no greater than the least number
  of peers on any one site.
* Default: auto

cascade_replication_plan_topology = size_balanced
* Topology used for building a cascading plan.

  Senders on the same layer have same or similar number of receivers.
* Default: size_balanced

cascade_replication_plan_select_policy = random
* Policy for deciding which receivers the senders pick.
* When set to random, receivers are randomly picked.

# Node level authentication
############################################################################
[node_auth]
signatureVersion = <comma-separated list>
* A list of authentication protocol versions that nodes of a Splunk
  deployment use to authenticate to other nodes.
* Each version of node authentication protocol implements an algorithm
  that specifies cryptographic parameters to generate authentication data.
* Nodes may only communicate using the same authentication protocol version.
* For example, if you set "signatureVersion = v1,v2" on one node, that
  node sends and accepts authentication data using versions "v1" and "v2"
  of the protocol, and you must also set "signatureVersion" to one of
  "v1", "v2", or "v1,v2" on other nodes for those nodes to mutually
  authenticate.
* For higher levels of security, set 'signatureVersion' to "v2".
* Default: v1,v2

############################################################################
# Cache Manager Configuration
############################################################################
[cachemanager]
max_concurrent_downloads = <unsigned integer>
* The maximum number of buckets that can be downloaded simultaneously from
  external storage
* Default: 8

max_concurrent_uploads = <unsigned integer>
* The maximum number of buckets that can be uploaded simultaneously to external
  storage.
* Default: 8

eviction_policy = <string>
* The name of the eviction policy to use.
* Current options: lru, clock, random, lrlt, noevict, lruk
* Do not change the value from the default unless instructed by
  Splunk Support.
* Default: lru

enable_eviction_priorities = <boolean>
* When requesting buckets, search peers can give hints to the Cache Manager
  about the relative importance of buckets.
* When enabled, the Cache Manager takes the hints into consideration; when
  disabled, hints are ignored.
* Default: true

eviction_padding = <positive integer>
* Specifies the additional space, in megabytes, beyond 'minFreeSpace' that the
  cache manager uses as the threshold to start evicting data.
* If free space on a partition falls below
  ('minFreeSpace' + 'eviction_padding'), then the cache manager tries to evict
  data from remote storage enabled indexes.
* Default: 5120 (~5GB)

max_cache_size = <positive integer>
* Specifies the maximum space, in megabytes, per partition, that the cache can
  occupy on disk. If this value is exceeded, the cache manager starts
  evicting buckets.
* A value of 0 means this setting is not used to control cache eviction.
  Eviction will instead be based on the sum of 'minFreeSpace' and 'eviction_padding'
  settings, which limits the size of the partition that the cache resides on.
* Default: 0

persist_pending_upload_from_external = <bool>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Specifies whether the information of the buckets that have been uploaded
  to remote storage can be serialized to disk or not.
* When set to true, this information is serialized to disk and
  the bucket is deemed to be on remote storage.
* Otherwise, the bucket is deemed to be not on remote storage and
  bucket is then uploaded to remote storage.
* Default: true

persistent_id_set_remove_min_sync_secs = <unsigned integer>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Cache manager persists the set of objects that are
  no longer pending upload to the remote storage based
  on when the previous set of changes were persisted to disk.
* This setting controls the interval from the last persist time that
  cache manager waits to persist the current set of changes to disk.
* Default: 5

enable_open_on_stale_object = <bool>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Specifies whether the buckets with stale files can be opened for search.
* When set to true, these buckets can be opened for search.
  Otherwise, searches are not allowed to open these buckets.
* Default: true

local_delete_summary_metadata_ttl = <unsigned integer>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* The local copy of a bucket needs to be synced with the copy in remote
  storage only when the bucket switches primaries.
* However in certain experimental modes of operation the delete journals
  in the remote storage could be mutated without an update to the local copy.
* Similarly, accelerated summaries in remote storage could be updated without
  an update to the local copy.
* This setting is meant for use in such modes. The Cache manager will make
  a best effort to invalidate the local delete journals and summary
  metadata files periodically.
* The period will be controlled by this ttl. A value of 0 will disable
  this behavior
* Default: 0

hotlist_recency_secs = <unsigned integer>
* When a bucket is older than this value, it becomes eligible for eviction.
  Buckets younger than this value are evicted only if there are no older
  buckets eligible for eviction.
* For the purpose of determining recency, the age of a bucket is calculated by
  subtracting the time of the bucket's most recent event data from the current time.
* For example, if the current time (expressed in UTC epoch time) is 1567891234 and
  the bucket is named db_1567809123_1557891234_10_8A21BEE9-60D4-436B-AA6D-21B68F631A8B,
  thus indicating that the time of the most recent event in the bucket is 1567809123,
  then the bucket's age, in seconds, is 82111 (~23 hours).
* Ensure that the cache is of sufficient size to handle the value of this setting.
  Otherwise, cache eviction cannot function optimally.  In other words, do not
  configure this setting to a size that will cause the cache to retain a quantity of
  buckets that approach or exceed the size of the cache based on this setting
  alone.
* Also, consider the amount of data you're ingesting and the needs of
  the types of searches you run. As a best practice, start with a fairly low value
  for this setting and adjust over time.
* For example, if the cache size is 100 GB and you typically add 10 GB of new buckets to
  the indexer in a 24 hour period, setting this to 172800 (48 hours) would mean that
  the cache manager will try to keep those 20 GB of recent buckets in the cache all the time.
* This setting can be overridden on a per-index basis in indexes.conf.
* Default: 86400 (24 hours)

hotlist_bloom_filter_recency_hours = <unsigned integer>
* When a bucket's non-journal and non-tsidx files (such as bloomfilter files)
  are older than this value, those files become eligible for eviction. Bloomfilter
  and associated files younger than this value are evicted only if there are
  no older files eligible for eviction.
* The recency of a bloomfilter file is based on its bucket's recency and is calculated
  in the same manner described for hotlist_recency_secs.
* This setting works in concert with hotlist_recency_secs which is designed to be
  configured for a shorter age. If hotlist_recency_secs leads to the eviction of a
  bucket, the bloomfilter and associated files will continue to remain in the cache
  until they reach the age configured by this setting. Thus, the bucket will remain
  in cache, but without its journal and tsidx files.
* This setting can be overridden on a per-index basis in indexes.conf.
* Default: 360 (15 days)

evict_on_stable = <boolean>
* When the source peer completes upload of a bucket to remote storage, it notifies the
  target peers so that they can evict any local copies of the bucket.
* When set to true, each target peer evicts its local copy, if any, upon such notification.
* When set to false, each target peer continues to store its local copy, if any, until its
  cache manager eventually evicts the bucket according to its cache eviction policy.
* Default: false

max_file_exists_retry_count = <unsigned integer>
* The cache manager retries its check on whether the file exists on
  remote storage when the check fails due to network errors until
  the retry count exceeds this setting.
* Default: 5

access_logging = <boolean>
* Enables/disables logging to the splunkd_access.log file for cachemanager requests.
* Default: false

cache_usage_collection_interval_minutes = <positive integer>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Interval at which cache usage information is reported to metrics.log.
* The cache usage logging reports cache usage, in bytes, broken down by
  cache type (bid, dma, ra, metrics), index and by time range. The time
  bins are defined by the setting 'cache_usage_collection_time_bins'.
* A value of 0 will disable this feature.
* Do not use a value less than 10 (minutes). Doing so can
  affect performance.
* Hot buckets are not managed by the cache manager and not reflected
  in the log messages.
* Default: 10

cache_usage_collection_time_bins = <positive integer list>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* This setting is used when 'cache_usage_collection_interval_minutes' is
  non-zero. See the 'cache_usage_collection_interval_minutes' section for
  more information.
* This comma-separated list of integers, representing days, are boundaries
  to the time ranges to which the cache usage is broken down and reported.
  There is an implicit bin, 0, that represents all data more recent than the
  first non-zero value. The highest value specified will represent all data
  older than that value.
* For example, using the default "1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90", cache usage will
  collect the size of buckets whose latest-time (endEpoch) into the following
  bins: 0 (future-1d), 1 (1d-3d), 3 (3d-7d), 7 (7d-15d), 15 (15d-30d),
  30 (30d-60d), 60 (60d-90d), 90 (90d and older).
* Default: 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90

cache_usage_collection_per_index = <boolean>
* Currently not supported. This setting is related to a feature that is
  still under development.
* Enables the reporting cache usage information by index.
* This setting is used when 'cache_usage_collection_interval_minutes' is
  non-zero. See the 'cache_usage_collection_interval_minutes' section for
  more information.
* Default: false

batch_registration = <boolean>
* This setting enables/disables batch registration of buckets upon startup of indexer.
* If this setting is disabled, then when an indexer starts up, its cache manager registers
  each index bucket individually.  This can slow the startup process. If an indexer is
  experiencing long startup durations, enable this setting to register buckets in batches.
* The size of each batch of buckets is set with 'batch_registration_size'.
* Default: true

batch_registration_size = <unsigned integer>
* This setting specifies the size of each batch of buckets that are
  registered.
* This setting is used when 'batch_registration' is enabled.
* Use the default value unless instructed otherwise by Splunk Support.
* Default: 5000

cache_upload_backoff_sleep_secs = <unsigned_integer>
* This setting specifies the interval, in seconds, that the cache manager waits to
  retry an upload to the remote store after encountering a 4xx HTTP error.
* A value of 0 causes the cache manager to continue retrying the upload without

* Default: 60

max_known_remote_absent_summaries = <unsigned_integer>
* This setting specifies the maximum number of frozen (absent) summaries that the
  cache manager maintains in a list.
* The list of frozen summaries helps the cache manager to avoid making calls to the
  remote store that could result in an HTTP 404 "not found" error. By increasing the
  limit, you decrease the likelihood of such calls, while potentially using more
  memory in the process.
* When this value is reached, the cache manager deletes the oldest frozen
  summaries from the list.
* Default: 200000 (200K)

[watchdog]
disabled = <boolean>
* Disables thread monitoring functionality.
* Any thread that has been blocked for more than 'responseTimeout' milliseconds
  is logged to $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/watchdog/watchdog.log
* Default: false.

responseTimeout = <decimal>
* Maximum time, in seconds, that a thread can take to respond before the
  watchdog logs a 'thread blocked' incident.
* The minimum value for 'responseTimeout' is 0.1.
* If you set 'responseTimeout' to lower than 0.1, the setting uses the minimum
  value instead.
* Default: 8

actions = <actions_list>
* A comma-separated list of actions that execute sequentially when a blocked
  thread is encountered.
* Currently, the only available actions are 'pstacks', 'script' and 'bulletin'.
* 'pstacks' enables call stack generation for a blocked thread.
* Call stack generation gives the user immediate information on the potential
  bottleneck or deadlock.
* The watchdog saves each call stack in a separate file in
  $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/watchdog with the following file name format:
  wd_stack_<pid>_<thread_name>_%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S.%f_<uid>.log.
* 'script' executes specified script.
* 'bulletin' shows a message on the web interface.
* NOTE: This setting should be used only during troubleshooting, and if you have
  been asked to set it by a Splunk Support engineer. It might degrade
  performance by increasing CPU and disk usage.
* Default: empty list (no action executed)

actionsInterval = <decimal>
* The timeout, in seconds, that the watchdog uses while tracing a blocked
  thread. The watchdog executes each action every 'actionsInterval' seconds.
* The minimum value for 'actionsInterval' is 0.01.
* If you set 'actionsInterval' to lower than 0.01, the setting uses the minimum
  value instead.
* NOTE: Very small timeout may have impact performance by increasing CPU usage.
  Splunk may be also slowed down by frequently executed action.
* Default: 1

pstacksEndpoint = <boolean>
* Enables pstacks endpoint at /services/server/pstacks
* Endpoint allows ad-hoc pstacks generation of all running threads.

  have been explicitly asked to disable it by a Splunk Support engineer.
* Default: true

[watchdog:timeouts]
reaperThread = <decimal>
* Maximum time, in seconds, that a reaper thread can take to respond before the
  watchdog logs a 'thread blocked' incident.
* The minimum value for 'reaperThread' is 0.1.
* If you set 'reaperThread' to lower than 0.1, the setting uses the minimum
  value instead.
* This value is used only for threads dedicated to clean up dispatch directories
  and search artifacts.
* Default: 30

[watchdogaction:pstacks]
* Setting under this stanza are ignored if 'pstacks' is not enabled in the
  'actions' list.

  by increasing CPU and disk usage.

dumpAllThreads = <boolean>
* Determines whether or not the watchdog saves stacks of all monitored threads
  when it encounters a blocked thread.
* If you set 'dumpAllThreads' to true, the watchdog generates call stacks for
  all threads, regardless of thread state.
* Default: true

stacksBufferSizeOrder = <unsigned integer>
* Controls the maximum number of call stacks an internal queue can hold.
* The watchdog uses the internal queue to temporarily store a call stack between
  the time the watchdog generates the call stack and the time it saves the call
  stack to a file.
* Increase the value of this setting if you see gaps in stack files due to high
  frequency of call stack generation. This might occur when, for example, you
  set 'stacksBufferSizeOrder' to a very low value, or if the number of threads
  is high.
* This number must be in the range 1 to 16.
* The watchdog uses this value to calculate the real size of the buffer, whose
  value must be a power of 2. For example, if 'stackBufferSizeOrder' is 4, the
  size of the buffer is 4 ^ 2, or 16.
* CAUTION: Setting to too low a value can cause dropped call stacks, and too
  high a value can cause increased memory consumption.
* Default: 14

maxStacksPerBlock = <unsigned integer>
* Maximum number of stacks that the watchdog can generate for a blocked thread.
* If you set 'dumpAllThreads' to true, the watchdog generates call stacks for
  all threads.
* If the blocked thread starts responding again, the count of stacks that the
  watchdog has generated resets to zero.
* If another thread blockage occurs, the watchdog begins generating stacks
  again, up to 'maxStacksPerBlock' stacks.
* When set to 0, an unlimited number of stacks will be generated.
  list.
* Default: 60

batchStacksThreshold = <unsigned integer>|auto
* The timeout, in milliseconds, after which the watchdog generates a new call stack file.
* This setting controls the batching up of call stacks when saving them to files, and can
  decrease the number of files the watchdog creates.
* When set to 0, batching is disabled.
* When set to 'auto', Splunk Enterprise determines the best frequency to create new
  call stack files.
* Default: auto

[watchdogaction:script]
* Setting under this stanza are ignored if 'script' is not enabled in the

* The path to the script to execute when the watchdog triggers the action.
* If you do not set 'path', the watchdog ignores the action.
* No default.

useShell = <boolean>
* If set to true, the script runs from the OS shell
  ("/bin/sh -c" on UNIX, "cmd.exe /c" on Windows)
* If set to false, the program will be run directly without attempting to
  expand shell metacharacters.
* Default: false

forceStop = <boolean>
* Whether or not the watchdog forcefully stops an active watchdog action script
  when a blocked thread starts to respond.
* Use this setting when, for example, the watchdog script has internal logic
  that controls its lifetime and must run without interruption.
* Default: false

forceStopOnShutdown = <boolean>
* If you set this setting to "true", the watchdog forcefully stops active
  watchdog scripts upon receipt of a shutdown request.
* Default: true
