Auto refresh All panel on the dashboard

[tgulgund]

I am using splunk 9.3.2. I have visualisation panels added my dashboard with multiple queries.

I use a base search with global time picker default value to 48 hours and subsequently use the chain searches.

I need my entire dashboard to refresh after every 5 mins. I tried "refresh":300 but it doesn't work. Not sure what am I missing here.

{
"visualizations": {
},
"dataSources": {
},
"defaults": {
},
"inputs": {
},
"layout": {
"type": "absolute",
"options": {
"height": 2500,
"backgroundColor": "#000000",
"display": "fit-to-width",
"width": 1550
},
},
"description": "",
"title": "My Dashboard",
"refresh": 300
}

I added "refresh": "5m", "refreshType": "delay" to my base search and it works for all the chain searches

I have a base search and multiple chain search. can u add refresh only to base search ? 

Will that refresh other panels ?

Hi @tgulgund @Prewin27 

You can set a default refresh time which will apply automatically to all data sources (unless a specific datasource is overwritten, edit the source of your dashboard and find the "defaults" section, under defaults->dataSources->ds.search->options create a new "refresh" key with a value containing your intended refresh interval, such as this:

{
    "title": "testing",
    "description": "",
    "inputs": {},
    "defaults": {
        "dataSources": {
            "ds.search": {
                "options": {
                    "queryParameters": {
                        "earliest": "-24h@h",
                        "latest": "now"
                    },
                    "refresh": "60s"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    "visualizations": {
...
...
    }
}

Unfortunately i dont think dashboard studio can set auto refresh for entire dashboard in a single config, auto-refresh is set per data source. You must define the refresh interval for each relevant data source in the dataSources section of your dashboard JSON

Eg:
"dataSources": {
"myDataSource": {
"type": "ds.search",
"options": {
"query": "your search here",
"queryParameters": {
"earliest": "-48h@h",
"latest": "@h"
},
"refresh": "5m",
"refreshType": "delay"
}
}
}

Hi @tgulgund 

For the benefit of others who find this answer, this is slightly incorrect. It *is* possible for a single setting for all your datasources, If you want to refresh all datasources on a dashboard studio dashboard then update the defaults as per my previous message.
