You can share a dashboard for a certain period by generating a URL with an expiry date. When other users access the URL, they can see a read-only view of the dashboard without logging in to vRealize Log Insight. If you apply filters to the dashboard, users see the filtered content.

You can provide unauthenticated access to a custom dashboard or a content pack dashboard.

Prerequisites

Verify that you are logged in to the vRealize Log Insight web user interface as a user associated with the User role, or a role that has the relevant permissions. For more information, see Create and Modify Roles in Administering vRealize Log Insight. The URL format of the web user interface is https://log_insight-host, where log_insight-host is the IP address or host name of the vRealize Log Insight virtual appliance.

Procedure

  1. On the Dashboards tab, select a dashboard.
  2. Optionally, add one or more filters to refine the dashboard content.
  3. Click the Share icon in the upper-right corner.
  4. In the pop-up window, you can modify the dashboard name as seen by the users who access the generated URL.
  5. Enter an expiry date for the generated URL. If you do not enter a date, the URL is active for seven days.
  6. Click Generate.
  7. Copy the URL that is generated and share it with other users.
    When you close the pop-up window after generating the URL, you can find it on the Administration tab, under Management > Shared Dashboard URLs. In this page, you can also edit or delete a shared dashboard URL.
