Create a dashboard with dynamic sources

You can create a dashboard with dynamic sources to enable users to change the source of the dashboard at any time. If you have created a large number of dashboards that all have the same metrics, but different sources, you might want to consider replacing those dashboards with a single, dynamic-source dashboard.

1. Log into the Web UI on the Discover or Command appliance and click Dashboards at the top of the page.
2. Select a dashboard that you want to edit.
3. Set the source of each chart to a source type variable.
   1. Click the name of a chart and then click Edit.
   2. In the Sources field, type $.
      The Source Type Variables list appears.
   3. From the Source Type Variables list, select the type of source that you are replacing. For example, if you are replacing a device source, select $device.
4. Click Save.
   At the top of the dashboard, the View Source drop-down menu appears.
5. From the View Source drop-down menu, select the source that you would like to view metrics for.
   If no data is displayed in the dashboard charts, try refreshing the page.

Tip:	If you want to hide the dynamic source menu from your dashboard, append the following parameter to the end of the dashboard page URL: &hideTemplatePanel=true. Before After For example: https://eda/extrahop/#/Dashboard/XYFwM/?$device=16&from=30&interval_type=MIN&until=0&hideTemplatePanel=true
