I want to bypass the launcher screen.. |

In 4.1, the default app setting will be configurable through Manager. To set the default app for a particular user:
To set a default app by role:

You can set a default App, either per user or globally. This App displays by default every time you log into Splunk. Configuration
Example For example, set the default App for the admin user to the Search App:

For 4.1, to set a GLOBAL default app, which in my example below is the 'search' app, you'll need to specify the following in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/user-prefs/local/user-prefs.conf : 1
Wolverine has the key element here. The Splunk documentation says that you simply need to add "default_namespace = search" to the user-prefs.conf stanza, but this did not work for me. Once I included the above configuration as part of the [general_default] stanza, and then restarted splunk, I was able to see the Search app by default.

Muebel, Thanks for catching that! I've corrected the doc so we don't have anymore confusion: http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1.1/Admin/Whatsanapp#Bypass_the_Launcher_for_all_users

In 4.2.4 Free License this does not seem to work.

This is not working for me under 4.1, ewoo. I've tried setting this via the manager and also via the user-prefs.conf but for some reason it doesn't take effect. Was there by any chance a change made in 4.1 to store user prefs in a db table instead of in flat files? See my comment on wolverine's answer.

We store user preferences similarly in 4.0.x and 4.1. The biggest difference is that we now support per-role default apps, which required some additions to user-prefs.conf. Definitely no storage to a database, however. What specifically is not working for you? Are you trying to edit the conf files directly, or are you using Manager? Are you trying to set a default app for a specific user, a specific role, or everyone?
