Guided Mode dashboard Parameter setting via URL is here!
A lot of you have been asking for a feature allowing you to embed a Dashboard URL containing the value of the Guided Mode Parameter in your external systems.
This is now possible, read on!
Dashboards always come with this URL format: https://portal.kentik.<com|eu>/
v4/library/dashboards/<dashboard_id>
Let's say your Guided Mode dashboard pivots around a Destination Interface Provider
dimension.
In this example, you can access this dashboard with the parameter pre-filled with the value my_provider
using this URL:https://portal.kentik.<com|eu>/
v4/library/dashboards/<dashboard_id>/guided?provider=my_provider
Finding the parameter name to use in the URL after the guided?<parameter>=<value>
portion may be a little tricky: parameters in Guided Mode do not 1:1 correspond to the SRC|DST|SRC_or_DST dimensions you are used to in Data Explorer, because Guided Mode considers families of Dimensions, and discard the directionality. Here are a few examples:
- Using SRC, DST (or both) ASN as a parameter will result in using
as_number
as a parameter name - Using SRC, DST (or both) AS_PATH as a parameter will result in using
bgp_aspath
as a parameter name - Using SRC, DST (or both) Provider as a parameter will result in using
provider
as a parameter name
