Add navigation to a Splunk app

[francisc]

I've added a new view name by editing the default.xml via Splunk Web as an admin, restarted Splunk after and refreshed the instance using /debug/refresh but the new view name is not being added. Is there something i need to do i am missing?

@francisc - Even you don't need to do debug refresh when you change it from Splunk web.
Just make sure for App you are updating nav in that App only you are checking the navigation.
Make sure navigation permission/visibility is "Only in this App".
By looking at your xml content here, just make sure you have <nav> as root tag in your xml.

@VatsalJagani, i did a test using my dev box using a test_app which has the nav tag and i am getting the same results. Sharing is app and permissions are read for everyone and write for admin.

I'm afraid then it should work. Just to make sure that you are not getting any error while saving the navigation.

Looks correct to me, the view should appear in the account control collection for users that can see the view.

[francisc]

@martin_mueller, where do you configure users to see the views.

[martin_mueller]

Which view did you add? Did you make sure the view id is spelled correctly?

[francisc]

Yes i followed the one on top,

view name changed is user_group_changes from the xml

[martin_mueller]

Post your navigation XML, and make sure the view id is spelled correctly.
