How to configure a view to automatically refresh?

[danurag]

The view definition looks like so

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    <dashboard>
      <!--

    -->
      <label>Api Calls</label>
      <row>
        <chart>
          <searchName>Api Call</searchName>
          <title>Api Calls</title>
          <option name="drilldown">all</option>
        </chart>
      </row>
    </dashboard>

How do I refresh this view automatically every 2 minutes?

But check for the running jobs, We used this module & could see no data in the dashboards bec of too many jobs running. I am not sure this is bec of the refresh module, but once I clear the jobs I could see the data. So we deleted refresh module, & now it is working very fine.

Put refresh="120" into the <dashboard> tag at the top. This works for both the advanced and the simplified XML.

Granted it's a little crude, in that the entire page just refreshes every N seconds, but it gets the job done.
