Not sure what I did but some reason when I click on the app logo of my app it redirects me to:
http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/SplunkforPaloAltoNetworks/_admin
instead of just
http://localhost:8000/en-US/app/SplunkforPaloAltoNetworks/
What is _admin and what did I do to cause i?
Clicking the logo will always take you to the app's default view.
However if you never set a default view in the nav file (/nav/default.xml), then it'll take you to the first view, sorted alphabetically.
unfortunately that view is always "_admin", which is a weird little view used in Manager that nobody is supposed to ever see.
so you've figured it out already but the answer is to mark one of the views in default.xml with default="True"
So the reason for this is I didn't have a default view set in the nav XML. I actually did have one set but since I prefer using href's instead of the view tag the above was happening. Switching to view tags for just y default view fixed the issue.
