Configure Auto-Refresh Interval

In
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
, you can configure auto-refresh interval for entity pages and dashboards.
VMware Aria Operations for Networks
provides the auto-refresh feature for the entity dashboards and dashboards. The dashboard refreshes automatically once in every
n
minutes specified on the header bar.
You can specify the time interval for which you want all your dashboards to perform an auto refresh. After the specified time interval (
n
minutes), all the open widgets on the dashboard will reload automatically.
  • You cannot change the auto-refresh time interval for a particular dashboard.
  • Auto-refresh is paused if you select a past time interval in timeline slider.
You can pause auto-refresh if you do not require it for a particular dashboard. On the header bar, set
Pause
to
ON
. The auto-refresh counter resets once you set
Pause
to
OFF
.
If you are viewing a dashboard and if another user is making changes to it such as changing the layout of the dashboard, the auto-refresh feature not only updates the content but also refreshes the entire dashboard. This occurs only if sharing and collaboration exists between you and the other user.
