How do you refresh a nav via the CLI

Question

The documentation says: If you are editing outside of Splunk Manager, you can refresh the nav by navigating your browser to:

https://<splunkserver>:<splunkmgmtport>/servicesNS/admin/<appname>/data/ui/nav?refresh=1

If i'm using ldap admin I apparently can't hit this endpoit because aapparently LDAP has a requirement for reversable auth. What is the CLI equivalent of that command?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the _internal call command.

splunk _internal call /servicesNS/admin/<appname>/data/ui/nav -get:refresh 1

this is an unsupported and undocumented splunk command, but if you need something do get to that endpoint it will work.

If this is essential to your work, you could contact support and request an enhancement request to get this as a standard splunk command.

Answer 2

2	You could use the failsafe account, or use `./splunk _internal call /servicesNS/admin/myapp/data/ui/nav?refresh=true` Read more at http://blogs.splunk.com/2009/12/10/poke-at-our-api/ link answered 11 Feb '10, 01:22 gkanapathy ♦ 26.4k●1●6●22 accept rate: 42%

From CLI, splunk restart will do the trick; it's both supported and documented. (Please don't downvote this answer -- for infrequent refreshes of a search-only Splunk instance, it does make sense.)

If you just want to refresh the nav, splunk restartss will restart splunkweb without restarting splunkd achieves this result much more rapidly, without canceling searches.

Except when it doesn't. In my experience, view XML supporting app dashboards does not get re-read with splunk restartss. Only splunk restart works.
