Why is Nav Refresh not occurring on my search head captain?

[nravichandran]

I have added the Nav contents in one search head (captain), used the refresh, and used Splunk restarts. But we're still not seeing the nav i added. In the documentation, it is specified that the nav replicates automatically to peers. Can you please help on what i am missing?

Thank you in Advance

Usually (in my case) this happens when theres a typo in my xml. Look to be sure you have a closing tag for every opening tag:

 <tag>data</tag>  

Or self closing tags as needed:

 <tag />

Yes, it is a typo. I cloned a dashboard and missed to remove the _clone while cloning. I corrected it by recreating it. Thanks.

Ah ok that can happen too. Also something that happens is missing quotes, wrong quotes, etc.
