What is the best way to add a custom dashboard to the VMware App? Should I just edit $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/vmware/local/data/ui/nav ?
Correct, you'd add your dashboard to:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_for_vmware/local/data/ui/views
and then you'd want to copy/edit:
copy:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_for_vmware/default/data/ui/nav/default.xml
to:
$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/splunk_for_vmware/local/data/ui/nav/default.xml
And then add the name of your new dashboard. Just as a note, any future updates for the app that add / change dashboards will ship with a new nav.xml and will require you to update your file by hand.
