Show Dashboard on TV Screen

[steve_macdonald]

I would like to set up a TV screen with a Dt SaaS dashboard on a TV screen connected to a computer that no one has access to. The problem is getting the dashboard to autoload after a computer restart. Is there some way I can 'log in' to the dashboards without having to have someone log in manually? The 'Remember Me' checkbox looks like it just remembers my user, but does not auto-log in.

Not sure about SaaS, with managed I've been able to write a simple static HTML page, that invokes javascript doing HTTP POST with credentials data and target dashboard ID. But login screen for Dynatrace Manage is different.

For SaaS - until someone comes with an official solution, I'd suggest writing a simple Selenium script (in the preferred language of your choice) that will handle the login screen. This will definitely work for you, until Dynatrace introduces and enforces captcha or 2FA.

Any chance you can share that static HTML page?

Sure, here you go:

Keep in mind that this is an autologin for Dynatrace Managed, it will not work for Dynatrace SaaS.

Here you have a quick & dirty script for Dynatrace SaaS autologin using python and selenium:

Update it according to your environment (selenium driver, url, username, ...)

Awesome - thank you Julius!

We also have the option to share dashboards anonymously (by link only) now. No login required.

But that's share them publicly via internet?

Do you have a more secure solution?

[ben_wrightson]

Yes and no.
It's now possible to only allow certain IP ranges to access your Dynatrace environment. That would be a way to limit access. Together with the anonymous link being very hard to guess that may provide a reasonable level of security.
