Dashboards

We use Grafana to display and automatically generate dashboards that describe a dataset.

Provisioned Dashboards

Every provisioned dashboard consists of two areas:

  1. Unmanaged: this area can be modified by the database owner and is not affected by provisioning. It is the area above the "Generated Statistics" row.
  2. Managed: this area is affected by provisioning, any changes to this area will be overridden and deleted without notice. Note that the dashboard links are also affected by provisioning.

Everytime the views of the database change (e.g. a new view is added, a view is deleted) then the dashboard for this database is provisioned.

How do I disable managed dashboards?

If you prefer not to have automatically-generated dashboards, you can disable managed dashboards for a database in the UI. Go to your database > Settings > Visibility > Managed Dashboard > Disabled.
