Auto Refresh Dashboard Based On Elasticube Build Or Refresh Every Dashboard Widget

Add this to a dashboard script:

// Specify the required parameters
var reloadType = 'page';			// 'dashboard' (dashboard refresh only) or 'page' (entire page reload)
var checkInterval = 15;				// checking interval in seconds




//Variables + Settings to check elasticube build on the server
var cubeName = dashboard.datasource.title;
var encodedCubeName = encodeURIComponent(cubeName);
var revision = null;


var settings = {
	"async": true,
	"crossDomain": true,
	"url": "/api/v1/elasticubes/live/by_title/" + encodedCubeName,
	"method": "GET",
	"headers": {
		"Content-Type": "application/json"
	}
}




//The function to look up the revision history of the build. If the revision changes, a build had occurred and the auto-refresh is triggered
function checkElasticubeBuildStatus(){


	console.log("Checking cube status...")


	$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {
		
		if(revision === null) {
			console.log("Initial dashboard load.");
		}


		else if(revision != response.lastBuildTime) {
			console.log("Cube has recently been updated. Reloading the dashboard...");
			if(reloadType === 'page') {
				location.reload();
			}
			else if (reloadType === 'dashboard') {
				dashboard.refresh();
			}
		}


		else {
			console.log("Cube has not been updated.");
		}


		revision = response.lastBuildTime;


		console.log("Check completed. Next check in " + checkInterval + " seconds.");
		
		setTimeout(checkElasticubeBuildStatus, checkInterval*1000);
	});
}




//Run the function to recursively check build status
checkElasticubeBuildStatus();

Auto-refresh dashboard at a set interval:

This script auto-refreshes the dashboard at a set interval. The example below is configured to refresh all widgets every 60 seconds.

Add this to a dashboard script

// Specify the required parameters
var reloadType = 'dashboard';		// 'dashboard' (dashboard refresh only) or 'page' (entire page reload)
var refreshInterval = 10;			// refresh interval in seconds


dashboard.on('initialized', function(dashboard, ev){


	var refreshDashboard = function(){
		
		if(reloadType === 'page') {
			location.reload();
		}
		else if (reloadType === 'dashboard') {
			dashboard.refresh();
		}


		setTimeout(refreshDashboard, refreshInterval*1000);
	}
	setTimeout(refreshDashboard, refreshInterval*1000);
})
