run dashboard hourly

[matansocher]

Hi

is it possible to run dashboard hourly so it wont take a lot of time when opening the dashboard?

Thanks

Yes, take your panel's search and save it as a saved search that you schedule to run every hour. Then replace the search string in your panel with loadjob:

| loadjob savedsearch="admin:search:MySavedSearch"

Do you mean automatic refreshing?

I don't think that is what I need. I need my dashboard to run, even when its not open, so when I open it it will be ready and all reports are loaded. my dashboard is loaded with heavy reports.

Do you want to speed up reporting or searching?

[matansocher]

I want the reports to run in the background, so when I open my dashboard, it will be ready because it has already been activated.

Is it schedule execution every hour, or you use faster reporting?

Hi HiroshiSatoh,
Have you tried accelerated saved searches in the dashboard?

Not yet, but it might suit my needs.
