Dashboards & Visualizations

Can I add or change dropdown menu in Splunk apps.

Hello,

 

I am trying to create some dashboards in ES and some other apps. 

For convenience I would like to be able to access them from app drop-down menu, but I can`t find way to do so. Can someone tell me if this is even possible? If yes how!

P.S. We are using Splunk cloud deployment.

Hi @roberto_baggio,

as I said, outside ES, you have to use the normal menu configuration form at: from the app that you want to modify menu: [Settings > User Interface > Navigation menu > default].

Then you can add your dashboard.

For more infos see at https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/docs/developapps/createapps/addnavsplunkapp/ or https://dev.splunk.com/enterprise/tutorials/module_getstarted/modifynavbar/

Ciao.

Hello, Giuseppe. 

Thank you for you firm response.  You are right. In ES I can do so. But for example in AWS dashboard app there are no such option. So that means that I can`t to do so?

Hi @roberto_baggio ,

you can create your own dashboard in the apps you like.

If you want to see them in a normal Splunk Enterprise App, you have to configure it in [Settings > User Interface > Menu].

If instead you want to see these dashboard in ES, you have to go in [Confgure > General > Navigation].

Ciao.
