Manage Predefined Dashboards

Pulse provides a set of predefined dashboards on the Dashplots Studio > Dashboards page to help visualize and monitor data.

If you need to customize or modify queries, including parameters or other variables in the predefined dashboards, contact Acceldata Support.

Only Acceldata Support can modify predefined dashboards that appear on the Dashplots page. This page is applicable only to the Acceldata Support.

To allow updates to the default dashboards, the team enables the following settings in the ad-core.yml file.

In ad-core.yml > dashplots section, set the following parameters:

Bash
    
 
dashplots:  DASHBOARD_AUTO_IMPORT: true  DASHPLOT_FORCE_DASHBOARD_SEEDING: true  DASHPLOT_RE_IMPORT_INTERVAL_MINUTES: 30
Copy

After updating these values, restart the Dashplots service to apply the changes.

Configuration variables

Parameter	Description
DASHBOARD_AUTO_IMPORT	Set this variable to true to import a newly created dashboard or to update an existing dashboard from the backend into the UI. By default, the import or update occurs every 30 minutes based on DASHPLOT_RE_ IMPORT_INTERVAL_MINUTES=30 → 30 minutes (default)
DASHPLOT_FORCE_DASHBOARD_SEEDING	Set this variable to true to instantly import or overwrite a dashboard in the UI, bypassing the re-import interval (DASHPLOT_RE_IMPORT_INTERVAL_MINUTES=30 by default). Behavior: When true: Overwrites existing dashboards instantly, ignoring the time window and lock mechanism. When false: Respects the re-import interval, overwriting only when the JSON definition changes, with lock coordination to prevent concurrent imports. Examples: DASHPLOT_FORCE_DASHBOARD_SEEDING=true → Force overwrite DASHPLOT_FORCE_ DASHBOARD_SEEDING=false → Smart update with interval
DASHPLOT_RE_IMPORT_INTERVAL_MINUTES	Defines the time interval (in minutes) between consecutive dashboard imports. Behavior: Applies only when DASHPLOT_FORCE_DASHBOARD_SEEDING=false. Prevents frequent re-imports by skipping imports within the defined time window. Calculated from the timestamp of the last successful import. Examples: DASHPLOT_RE_IMPORT_INTERVAL_MINUTES=30 → 30 minutes (default) DASHPLOT_RE_ IMPORT_INTERVAL_MINUTES=60 → 1 hour

In ad-core.yml > GraphQL section, set the following parameter.

Bash
    
 
ad-graphql:  OVERWRITE_DASHPLOTS: true
Copy

Parameter	Description
OVERWRITE_DASHPLOTS	Set to true to import a dashboard created in the backend into the UI. By default, the import occurs every 30 minutes

After updating the parameter, restart the GraphQL service to apply the changes.
