Navigation editor in Enterprise Security not working properly - is there a .conf file?

[echojacques]

Hello,

I'm running Splunk 6 and Enterprise Security 3. I'm having several problems when attempting to edit the default ES navigation menu (configure > general > navigation):

1. I cannot add a "new collection" which is a new menu item. I can name it but then the new name doesn't get saved. I also cannot drag any items (unused reports) into it.
2. I cannot rename any collections (the changes do not get saved).
3. Moving a collection/menu item or anything around in the editor is very difficult, if not impossible. The item or collection you are trying to move, moves around the screen erratically and very quickly, too quick to have any control of where you are moving an item to.

I've tried IE and Firefox and have the same problems in both. Although, problem #3 is somewhat alleviated in IE.

So my question is, is there a .conf file (or another file) that I can edit to modify the navigation menu manually since I'm having trouble making the edits in the UI's navigation editor?

Thanks!

Hi, sorry to hear about that. The file is SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite/local/data/UI/navigation.xml (from memory).

Thanks! With your help, I found it in:
SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml
