Hi guys,

Is there any way to change the alert name in .conf files that does not need restart splunk?

In the link below I could not find the appropriate field.

http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/admin/savedsearchesconf

In addition, I've tried in /opt/splunk/etc/users/admin/search/local/savedsearches.conf, but it is not change in real environment.

Tks.

Hi Wvalente,

Usually splunk restart for savedsearch.conf changes is not required, you have to refresh by using ,

http://<yoursplunkserver>:<your web port, default 8000>/debug/refresh

Below link will help you to understand when to restart splunk,

Check your Splunk version and the documents for more information,

Hope this will helps you!!!
