Dashboard list

Dashboard lists allow you to display dynamic links to other dashboards. You can configure the list to use starred dashboards, recently viewed dashboards, a search query, and dashboard tags.

On each dashboard load, this panel queries the dashboard list, always providing the most up-to-date results.

You can use a dashboard list visualization to display a list of important dashboards that you want to track.

Dashboard list options

Use the following options to refine your dashboard list visualization.

Include current time range

Select this option to propagate the time range of the current dashboard to the dashboard links. When you click a link, the linked dashboard opens with the indicated time range already set.

Include current template variable values

Select this option to include template variables that are being used as query parameters in a link. When you click the link, any matching templates in the linked dashboard are set to the values from the link. Learn more in Dashboard URL variables.

Starred

Display starred dashboards in alphabetical order.

Search

Display dashboards by search query or tags. You must enter at least one value in Query or Tags. For the Query and Tags fields, variable interpolation is supported. For example, $my_var or ${my_var}. Learn more in Search option.

Show headings

The selected list section is shown as a heading:

Starred
Recently viewed
Search

Max items

Sets the maximum number of items to list per section. For example, if you leave this at the default value of 10 and select Starred and Recently viewed dashboards, then the panel displays up to 20 total dashboards, 10 in each section.

Search options

These options only apply if you select the Search option.

Query

Use this field to search by dashboard name. Query terms are case-insensitive and partial values are accepted. For example, if you have dashboards called “Indoor Temps” and “Outdoor temp”, entering the word “temp” would return both results.
