Dashboards slideshow

wweiland — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 13:35:30 GMT

Does anyone know of a good way to rotate through different dashboards? I tried the Slideshow app, but it seems to only work with IE and I still couldn't get it to change to another dashboard after the timeout period. Anyone else have a setup going?

Thanks,

With HTML-based dashboards you can use the old-fashioned meta tag on a dashboard to redirect to a different dashboard after some seconds:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60; URL=second_dashboard" />

I've been using a Chrome plugin called Revolver Tabs to rotate dashboards on displays. Then I set a refresh on the dashboard (usually 1800 seconds) and it updates. Its easy to install and configure.

I'm willing to fix it the Slideshow app. Which browser are you having problems with? Once I can reproduce it, I'll fix it ASAP.

I had issues with firefox and chrome. IE showed the tables with the list of dashboards and allowed me to create the show. Once the blue bar went to the right side (countdown) I stayed on the same page and didn't go to the next.

I'll take a look. If I'm reading right, it starts up all of the tabs and just cycles through them at some interval, correct?

Yes you set a rotate under the options of the plugin. Then you set a separate refresh on the dashboard to keep the data up to date.

A feature similar to Grafana Playlists would be great:
