The Btool in Splunk is a command-line tool that is used to troubleshoot and help us with theconfiguration files. Btool is a utility created and provided within the Splunk Enterprise fordownload and which also comes as a rescue whiletroubleshooting .conf files.   It specifically helps in identifying the “merged” .conf files that are written to the disc andthe current .conf files contained at the time of execution.  Few useful btool commands:  splunk help btool # display usage and list of options  splunk btool check # check all configurations for typos/errors  splunk btool list [options] # conf file name w/o '.conf'  To get a list of all of the configured indexes and their configuration settings, perform the following:  ./splunk btool indexes list  ./splunk btool indexes list | grep '\\[' # list just the stanzas  Btool is located under the $SPLUNK_HOME/bin directory which displays the merged on-disk configuration values from any of the .conf files in the system.   But btool displays the on-disk configuration file settings. In case a user changes a setting and doesn’t restart Splunk, btool will reflect the new settings, but that's not what will necessarily be running in memory.
