Splunk 6.5.0: Why is the default app tab "Pivot" broken in all apps after upgrade?

Hi,

After upgrading our SHC to 6.5 from 6,4.1 just recently, we found that the "Pivot" tab you find in all apps (at least pre 6.5) is broken.

Howering over the "Pivot" tab is shows /en-US/app/appname/data_models
When clicking the "Pivot" tab, it first tries to load /en-US/app/appname/pivot
...but then redirects /en-US/app/appname/datasets which gives me a 404.

After creating a new app in 6.5, I could see the tab is renamed to "Datasets" and the link is indeed to /en-US/app/appname/datasets.

Shouldn't Splunk manage these things between upgrades?

Best regards,
Victor

Hi again,

Just a quick update on this as we found a solution:
We found that although we did deploy a new search app with our SH deployer, that didnt fix the /opt/splunk/etc/apps/search/default/data/ui/views/* . Once we uploaded the files directly to a SH and restarted it, the Dataset link (and others we found to be broken) started to work again.

Best regards,
Victor
