What is the default port for the Splunk web interface?

The default port for the Splunk web interface is 8000. This port is specified in the Splunk configuration and is the standard port used for accessing the Splunk web UI after installation. When you navigate to http://<your_splunk_server>:8000 in a web browser, you should arrive at the Splunk login page, provided that the service is running correctly.

Port 8000 is chosen for the web interface primarily to avoid conflicts with common web services, which often use ports 80 and 443. While some might associate port 8080 with alternative web applications, Splunk has established port 8000 as its default, facilitating straightforward access during administration and management tasks.
