Widget and dashboard options

Configuration: DOC -> Settings -> Backend -> Tenant settings -> Widget and dashboard options

Use these settings to improve the efficiency when displaying or updating your widgets and dashboard.

Setting

Configuration

Enable widget caching

The values in a widget are retrieved from the tenant cache, provided that the last query occurred within the defined cache lifetime.

Cache alive time

Defines the lifetime of the queries stored in the cache (in seconds)

Exceptions for the cache alive time by entity

Here you can specify the individual cache lifetime for individual entities, if required. Example: {\"Computers\":200,\"Events\":500}

Automatic dashboard refresh

This setting enables automatic dashboard refresh at specified intervals. The ‘Enable auto-refresh for all widgets’ setting must also be set on the corresponding dashboard.

Widgets on the visible dashboard can be updated automatically if the auto-refresh option is enabled globally here. For each dashboard tab, the user must specify whether the widgets on that tab will update their data automatically.

Note: Not all widgets are updated at the same time, as each widget has its own ‘data age’ setting.

Minimum time interval

Defines the minimum time interval between two dashboard refreshes.
