I have this same use case. I want to use Kiosk mode (to hide all of the things I don’t want users to get into), but being able to filter by date/time is an important feature. View mode is essentially useless in this case because it can’t be turned on programmatically (like the kiosk mode can) (and can’t be locked so the user cannot exit View mode), so the user can still get access to things I don’t want.
We need to be able to have the Time Picker be available just like any other filter. For example, in Kibana, the Time Picker can be made available in a “Filter Panel”, which gives a lot of control about it’s placement and visibility. It would be great to have more flexibility about the placement and availability of the Time Picker in Grafana. Either as a regular Filter, or as a Panel. I looked for a custom plug-in panel offering Time Picker controls, but didn’t find one, so I’m not sure if a plugin would even be possible.
In summary, does anyone have suggestions to do any one of the following:
- Lock the dashboard in View mode?
- Enable the Time Picker while in Kiosk mode?
- Enable the Time Picker controls to be implemented as a Filter?
- Enable the Time Picker controls to be implemented as a Panel?
Thanks in advance!
