- What Grafana version and what operating system are you using?
Grafana v11.0.0 (277ef258d4)
- What are you trying to achieve?
I made a few dashboards for our TV in the office and the dashboards are working no problems or questions about this but we want to play these dashboards in a playlist, no problem until:
- How are you trying to achieve it?
I configured our raspberry PI with following configuration:
nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
##Depending on your installation, the X server will blank the screen after a set amount of time. To prevent that, we can run these two xset commands:
@xset s noblank
@xset s off
@xset -dpms
Hide the mouse cursor.
@unclutter -idle 1 -root &
Let Chromium think it always exited cleanly.
@sed -i ‘s/“exited_cleanly”:false/“exited_cleanly”:true/’ ‘~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences’
@sed -i ‘s/“exit_type”:“Crashed”/“exit_type”:“Normal”/’ ‘~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences’
Start Chromium.
@chromium-browser --start-fullscreen --kiosk --noerrdialogs --disable-infobars https://our.website.that.we.want.to.see/playlists/play/fe5bkt5q3b6dcc?kiosk&autofitpanels
- What happened?
At the beginning I was thinking OK nice thats all I got to do? easy peasy! but,…not really. It seems that the playlist does not loop? The playlist go through every dashboard and then it stops?
- What did you expect to happen?
I really wanted to do be like…
Getting in the office, open the TV and let the playlist run so we can see our dashboards (5dashboards)
-
Can you copy/paste the configuration(s) that you are having problems with?
-
Did you receive any errors in the Grafana UI or in related logs? If so, please tell us exactly what they were.
-
Did you follow any online instructions? If so, what is the URL?
Followed a lot of instructions, I wanted to do like: leave the 5 dashboards play 1minute each and then try with an script or something like that to reload the page and start from the beginning.
Now I have a lot of headache from this small problem and I wanted to see how or why.
I have made the same playlist loop the 5 dashboards but multiplied the dashboards in playlist ( i have about 100)to play 1dashboard every 20 seconds, it seems that the playlist will stop with the last added dashboard.
I asume this is how the playlist work? Should I let it go and add 1000 dashboards in the playlist to cover my whole day or is there anything else I can do to play the 5 dashboards continuously?
Grafana running with zabbix and the website is playied on chromium (raspberry pi)
Much appreciated, sorry if it seems stupid, like…I know I can make the 1000 dashboards loop in my playlist, but I just wanted to be sure I proceed correctly.
Greetings,
Roxana.
