Refine your search:

For example, does Splunk ignore server.conf, distsearch.conf, or any other conf files if they're located in an apps directory?

Also, are there any other cases where a particular conf file's location is restricted to a subset of the otherwise generally available set of conf directories, as listed in this topic:

2 Answers:

Those files should work even in an app directory. If they do not, please file a defect.

There are a few exceptions: conf.conf can't work in an app, but we don't really doc that as useful to users anyway (it isn't.)

Your configuration files may not be ignored -- it could be that there is another file (of the same name) that takes precedence. This topic is pretty well documented so I will refer you to our doc for further reading.
