Dashboard - DQL query not displaying icon symbol

karthikayini_m — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 06:06:19 GMT

We created a dashboard for our application for the outgoing services . The dql query is as below.
fetch dt.entity.service
| filter serviceType != "DATABASE_SERVICE"
| filter in({$App_id}, called_by[dt.entity.service])
| fieldsAdd entity=record(entityId=id, displayName=entity.name, icon = icon[primaryIconType])

expected:

what we got:

I want to get real icon instead of icon name in the dashboard.

even if I pin dashboard from the real service outgoing dashboard to our dashboard icons are not displayed (its displayed as names ) only.

Thank you

In my opinion this is not possible.
Your question actually intrigued me and I spent some time digging through the documentation to see if there was a way. Unfortunately, IMO it seems that this cannot be achieved.
