Dashboard refresh rate below 1 minute and embedded dashboard auto-refresh

Get Help

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding Metabase Open Source. I have Metabase installed on my Kubernetes cluster, and I use an external platform where I embed the dashboards I create.

When I view dashboards directly in Metabase, there is an option to automatically refresh them every "X" minutes. Based on that, I have two questions:

  1. Is there any way to reduce the refresh interval to less than one minute, for example every 15 seconds? I have a call center dashboard, and I need agent status information to update more frequently.

  2. When I embed the dashboard into my external platform, the refresh icon/option is no longer available. As a result, the dashboard does not seem to refresh automatically and only updates if I manually refresh the browser page, which is quite inconvenient.

Has anyone faced a similar situation or found a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance!

You can change the refresh parameter in the URL. Works if you change it to, say, 30.

In an embed, I think you can have the outer page run a refresh on an iframe.
