However you might want to also edit the <CODE>app.conf</CODE> file to change the displayed name of the app as well.</P> <P>And you will need to restart Splunk.</P> Tue, 06 May 2014 17:34:18 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Process-for-renaming-an-app/m-p/154215#M2099 lguinn2 2014-05-06T17:34:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Process-for-renaming-an-app/m-p/154216#M2100 <P>hmph. That didn't quite work out. I did a "find-in-files" and found a lot of references to the old app name and replaced them, but that still didn't work. It's early enough now that I just grabbed the few files I did build and re-created the app from scratch.</P> Tue, 06 May 2014 20:04:18 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Process-for-renaming-an-app/m-p/154216#M2100 thesteve 2014-05-06T20:04:18Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Process-for-renaming-an-app/m-p/154217#M2101 <P>Well, now I don't know for sure if it would have worked. <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span> I had inadvertently changed some search parameters when I replaced the app name in my templates and I think that might have been what I was fighting.</P> Tue, 06 May 2014 21:34:10 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Process-for-renaming-an-app/m-p/154217#M2101 thesteve 2014-05-06T21:34:10Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Splunk-Dev/Process-for-renaming-an-app/m-p/154218#M2102 <P>BTW, it looks like in Splunk 6, the savedsearches.conf file has an attribute that contains the app name:</P> <P><CODE>request.ui_dispatch_app = oldappname</CODE></P> <P>So you are right, and you probably do want to change those. And don't forget the display name in app.conf.
