Due to my environment's proxy and firewall setup, we cannot have automatic update checks occurring for Splunkbase apps.
Where and what settings are available to do this?
As of 4.2, SplunkWeb's application management allows the properties of an app to be edit to disable the Splunkbase automatic update checking.
The options available are to set this globally or individually per app.
Modify in your local copy of $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/server.conf with:
[applicationsManagement]
allowInternetAccess = false
1) Navigate in SplunkWeb > Manager > Apps > select the Splunkbase apps's "Edit Properties" link and change for "Update checking" from Yes to No
OR
2) In the desired app's $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/
[package]
check_for_updates = 0
for example using the Deployment Monitor app,
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/SplunkDeploymentMonitor/local/app.conf add the stanza entry
[package]
check_for_updates = 0
Note: Manual changes to the configuration files will require a Splunk restart.
Additional references for these attribute details can be found in:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/README/server.conf.spec
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/README/app.conf.spec
Separately if you are interested in disabling the login message that a new Splunk version is available go here:

Does globally setting allowInternetAccess = false prevent other app to get for example threat feeds from the internet??
