Dashboards & Visualizations

After upgrading to 6.2.1, why is the black Splunk Bar at the top of the UI for my custom template still showing the 6.1.x version?

I've just upgraded from 6.1.3 to 6.2.1, and I've noticed that the Splunk Bar (the one with the dropdown menus like "Message", "Settings", etc.) has changed. This is OK, but my application is still showing the 6.1 version.

It only occurs for custom templates that I'm using with Django, not for Simple XML dashboards.

This also occurs on a clean install of 6.2.1, with a new Django application created using the standard instructions (http://dev.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAEMS) which basically amounts to:
splunkdj createapp myapp

Any ideas?

Sounds to me like your upgrade didnt update the django apps CSS and html. I'd look to the src files in your django app, chances are you copied these when you created the app and running the upgrade process will not upgrade non-standard apps, such as django, javascript, etc.

I thought the same thing, so I uninstalled 6.1.3 and did a fresh install of 6.2.1. A newly created app has the same problem, so it seems like it's not just an upgrade thing.
