Splunk will not display anything in an App menu with a depth greater than 3. In the below example, it shows as far as the menu "testing layer 3", which looks like it should be expandable (has a little arrow), but does not. Same goes if the views are moved forward one level to what would be level 5.

App's nav default.xml example (the xml will probably get formatted out of existence, although currently looks ok in the preview...its a structure with 4 menu layers before the views start):

<nav>
  <view name="ig_pci_overview" default="true"/>
    <collection label="testing layer 1">
      <collection label="testing layer 2">
        <collection label="testing layer 3">
          <collection label="testing layer 4">
            <view source="all" match="RST"/>
          </collection>
        </collection>
      </collection>
    </collection>
  <view name="flashtimeline" default='true' />
</nav>

I've wanted deeper menus on many occasions, so finally got around to asking on here if it is possible to get Splunk to show them. Anyone have any ideas?

I had the same thought at one time. I believe the current functionality doesn't allow for it, but I can't tell you why. There is either some way of getting around the restriction, or it is on good grounds for a feature request. :D

I suppose I will venture forth and answer that, at this time, it is not possible.

Thanks for that. Free reputation for you. I'm gonna go a head and raise an enhancement request via Splunk support. Cheers.

This has been complained about, tested, and found to not work by Splunk support. A bug (SPL-29475) has been filed. http://answers.splunk.com/questions/5311/multi-level-nav-menu-wont-open

Let's hope it gets fixed (or at least set so an error message shows) soon.
