<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the tip, Simone! Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.<div><br></div><div>I tracked down the code that looks to be responsible here, in the `gsconfig` package, with (roughly) this call chain:</div><div><br></div><div>geonode/geoserver/management/commands/updatelayers.py ~ handle</div><div>geonode/geoserver/helpers ~ gs_slurp</div><div>(path/to/virtualenv)/geonode/lib/python2.7/site-packages/geoserver/catalog.py ~ get_resources</div><div><br></div><div>From here, a few different calls are made, but none appear to directly query the REST endpoint that returns layer groups. I'm unsure if a layer group should be a DataStore, a CoverageStore, or a WMS Store, but it appears in none of those endpoints in my local instance:</div><div><br></div><div><div><a href="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/datastores.xml">http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/datastores.xml</a></div><div><a href="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/coveragestores.xml">http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/coveragestores.xml</a></div><div><a href="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/wmsstores.xml">http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/wmsstores.xml</a></div></div><div><br></div><div>...it does, however show up here:</div><div><br></div><div><div><a href="http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/layergroups.xml">http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/workspaces/geonode/layergroups.xml</a></div></div><div><br></div><div>I've tried a few variations on configuring the layer group to see if I could coax it into one or the other category but couldn't get it to happen.</div><div><br><div>Version info: clean source install of GeoNode running on the 2.4.x branch; GeoServer is 2.7.4.
