After an upgrade of Splunk, I sometimes have random browsers (usually IE) unable to load the pages.
In the developer browser tools, I found errors about javascript missing.
example :
Uncaught ReferenceError: Splunk is not defined login:57
Uncaught ReferenceError: initUpdateChecker is not defined login:193
This seems to be a cache issue as it differs between clients.
They are 2 ways to investigate
First : clear the cache on the splunkweb server
(in case there is a discrepancy between the client and server cache versions)
Second technique : disable the javascript minification
(when the javascripts are compacted together in a big one to send to the client)
[settings]
minify_js=false
3. restart to apply
4. reload the webclient browser

just had a related issue (different JS error) after upgrading to 7.2.6 - clearing the cache didn't work but disable minify and restart did - we run splunk behind nginx which is doing SSL termination and HTTP/2 so the performance impact should be negligable to us
