Set global default widget refresh intervals

Prev Next

Use the Dashboards server setting to specify the global default rate at which new widgets are refreshed.

Widgets are refreshed automatically. Each time a refresh occurs, the underlying query runs, and the results are displayed on the dashboard. Choose a default refresh interval for new widgets that is frequent enough to ensure accurate and timely information is displayed without consuming undue network resources. The default interval is five minutes.
