Why am I getting "Splunk cannot find the "Search" view" after making changes on my app via the Splunk Web default settings?

Hi,

I'm getting this error message below :

********************************error******************************************

404 Not Found
Return to Splunk home page
Splunk cannot find the "Search" view.
View more information about your request (request ID = 559c20594c7f5d1a86ecd0) in Search

**********************************error ****************************************
just after making changes on my app via the user interface default settings.
How do I resolve this issue?

Hi bidahor13,

So you changed the default.xml for the navigation bar - right?
And it looks like you have something like this in it XML opening tag view name="search" default="true" / XML closing tag this means, if you start the app Splunk will display the view named search. Do you have such a view in your app?
If not simply remove that line and you're good again.

Hope that helps ...

cheers, MuS

Well, what did you change?

The XML code snippet for report,alert and dash board. I tried to revert the changes - then the error message I sent earlier came-up.
