Apply dynamic filters permanently to a dashboard

[Pat_Closson]

Is it possible to apply dynamic filters permanently to a dashboard so they don't have to be selected everytime?  We are a large organization with numerous micro-services.  We would like to create a dashboard template that can be easily cloned and we're looking at using dynamic filters to easily apply the dashboard template to each micro-service.   It seems the dynamic filters are cleared on every visit to the dashboard however. Is there way to attach the filters permanently, or some other recommended method?

Hi Pat,

You can configure dynamic filters of a dashboard clicking on Configure. This leads to Settings and on Add filter button you can add the filters you need and these keep in the dashboard permanently:

Is this that you need?

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Elena.

I'm afraid its not possible to have permanent values for dynamic filters backed up. But it's possible to have one central dashboard with modified links to preconfigured dashboards with settings filled up (settings are contained in url). f.e. for related namespace dynamic filter it will look like:

https://xyz/e/env_id/#dashboard;gtf=-2h;gf=all;id=dash_id;es=RELATED_NAMESPACE-CLOUD_APPLICATION_NAMESPACE-ns_id%7Cxyz
