Why after upgrade, App Name not visible in the Application menu?

[saurabh0912]

Hi,

Recently we upgraded our splunk instance to 8.1 and after the upgrade we aren't seeing App name in the application menu.

Did anyone faced similar issue?

Hi,

first check if user has appropriate permission in Manage Apps, find your specific app and click on Permissions

then check if the app is visible
 Select Apps > Manage Apps then click Edit properties for the app  you want to edit
make sure Visible set to YES

Hi @saurabh0912 

please check on  the app.conf  and check this stanza:

is_visible = <boolean>
* Indicates if this app is visible/navigable as an app in Splunk Web.
* Apps require at least one view to be available in Splunk Web.
