How to remove the "View dashboard" link in the emails for scheduled PDF delivery?

[splunkrocks2014]

Hi.

When scheduling PDF delivery from a dashboard, the "View dashboard" link is embedded in the email body.

Is it possible to remove it?

Thanks.

You might be able to edit the alert_actions.conf to remove it from all emails.

Hi even i tried by changing include.view_link = 0 in alert.conf file and saved search file, but no luck. Did anyone resolved this issue ?

[splunkrocks2014]

I did change the following command before I posted my message, but it doesn't work. I don't know if there are other params required.

include.view_link    = 0

[cmerriman]

action.email.include.view_link = [1|0]

try also changing that in the savedsearches.conf maybe.

I have added "action.email.include.view_link = 0", but it still doesn't resolve the problems.

Hello,

not sure this was solved.

However, I had the same problem, and managed to remove the link by checking Type "plain text" in the

Edit PDF Schedule window.

The link desappeared...

Hope it helps.
