Within the ESS application, I created a simple saved dashboard based upon a search:
Splunk -> ESS -> Search
Specify search query -> Actions -> Add to dashboard
After going through the menu, and creating a new dashboard, naming the panel, etc, I had a tough time finding the newly created dashboard. It does not show up in a 'View' menu like the search app; However I was able to see the dashboard in the 'Manage Views' config menu (navigating through the search app). The app context was listed as SplunkESS, so I found I was able to get to the newly created dashboard by navigating to it via url/name directly:
https://mysplunkess:8000/en-US/app/SplunkEnterpriseSecuritySuite/_new_test_dashboard
The dashboard shows correctly, and I am able to edit it. However what I would like to do is have a link to this dashboard within ESS; so it shows up as a clickable menu item in the black navigation bar. When I go to the Domain / Dashboard config menu (Splunk > ESS > Configure > Domains / Dashboards) I do not see my '_new_test_dashboard' dashboard listed. Is there a conf file that needs to be edited directly?
