Splunk Enterprise

"The app "launcher" is not available"

Hey Guys!

If I click on the Splunk Icon at my Splunk Web Interface I get a error message "The app "launcher" is not available " instead of the overview which got mentioned in the Splunk tutorials where you can describe your forwarded data or watch your collected data summary. After I got this error question I only can go to apps like "Search and Reporting" or "dhcpd" etc.

I've already looked to see if the "launcher" app is under etc/apps, but it's missing, even though I thought that this is a "core app" after a fresh installation. Otherwise I cant forward data from my forwarders to this Splunk master.

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!

Daniel

When the User setting for default App is set at the User level in 'Access Controls' - if the Launcher is not the default app then clicking the Splunk Enterprise Logo will always take the user back to the Default App.

Is the authority set for APP(launcher)?

I think I fixed my problem. I just installed Splunk again and the standard launcher app appeared.
