Issue/Introduction

It does not seem to be possible to store the filter settings against a dashboard. We need to be able to display a dashboard with certain agents excluded for display in a data center so we need to be able to open the dashboard with the correct settings without any user interaction - how can we do this?

 

 

Environment

Release : 10.7.0

Component : APM Agents

Resolution

When a dashboard is opened in Team Center the URL will appear simaalr to the following 

http://myserver:8080/ApmServer/#/dashboard?range=0&fa=%5B%5D&ep=0&m=L&l=ATC&u=UN4&cht=0&chs=0&cha=0&g=PE.DEFAULT.GroupingService.Group.CompoundOverview

 
If a filter is applied to exclude the agents that are not required the URL changes to reflect this

http://myserver:8080/ApmServer/#/dashboard?range=0&fa=%5B%7B%22n%22:%22agent%22,%22l%22:%22ATC%22,%22o%22:%22AND%22,%22v%22:%5B%22CA_INTERNAL_NULL%22,%22lvnbld000591%7CTomcat%7CMathComplexBackend%22,%22lvnbld000591%7CTomcat%7CMathClient%22,%22lvnbld000591%7CTomcat%7CMathSimpleBackend%22%5D%7D%5D&ep=0&m=L&l=ATC&u=UN4&cht=0&chs=0&cha=0&g=PE.DEFAULT.GroupingService.Group.CompoundOverview

 
That URL can then be copied and used to open the dashboard with the filter already defined.
