splunkweb-serverwindows
Is it a propietary web server? I thought it used Apache, but I've been looking through the installation files and can't find any references.
I'm trying to secure the access to the free version of Splunk and solutions I've found so far are for Apache.
I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.
To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.
If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.
Examples
c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\" (finds all files opened from drive e:\"c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

splunkdprovides the Splunk web interface, since version 6.2. It appears to be proprietary, and no information about its internal workings is freely available.
