TV mode

For the wall in the server room or NOC. There are two independent wall views.

Error-overview wall (/tv)

A dedicated, lightweight page without app navigation that mirrors the same filters as the error overview:

  • Count tiles (Critical/Warning/No Data/Unknown; OK only if the link selects status OK)
  • List of current problems, sorted like the error overview, with status, host, check and tenant, message (wide screens only), value, time since the last change and ACK badge
  • "All systems operational" when nothing is open; separate displays for "nothing matches the filter" and connection errors

The error overview's filters carry over 1:1 as URL parameters — the easiest way is the TV button in the error overview, which opens the wall view with the current filters. The parameters are status, tenant, profile, host, check (check types), tag, cats (categories, e.g. cats=open,downtime,dep_down), sort (key:asc|desc) and q (search). Links with the earlier parameters (ack, accepted, downtime, dep …) keep working.

Additional parameters:

Parameter Meaning
refresh refresh interval in seconds (default 30)
pivot true rotates the view 90° — for portrait-mounted screens

Example: /tv?status=critical,warning&refresh=15&pivot=true

Without a valid session (401/403), the page automatically redirects to login and returns afterwards.

Dashboard wall display (/tv/dashboards)

Displays one or more dashboards without sidebar and menu, with a slim header bar: title, time range (only if a widget reads it), variables, refresh, clock, plus back and full-screen buttons. There is no editing here. The view adapts to every size:

Screen Behaviour
TV, monitor, laptop The grid fills width and height without scrolling. A short dashboard is shown larger on a big screen, a long one smaller. If it would become unreadably small, the size stops there and the area scrolls.
Phone, tablet in portrait The widgets are stacked as in the app and the area scrolls; the header (back, title, clock, full screen) stays in place.

While the wall view is visible, the screen stays on — a phone lying next to you does not dim (if the browser supports it; otherwise the device settings apply). The Full screen button only appears where the browser supports full screen (not on the iPhone).

Open it via ⋯ → Open as TV view on a dashboard. The address is:

/tv/dashboards?id=<dashboard-id>
/tv/dashboards?id=overview          ← the built-in overview
/tv/dashboards                      ← last viewed dashboard, otherwise the home dashboard, otherwise the overview

For a rotating sequence of several dashboards use ids (comma-separated) instead of id, plus interval (seconds per dashboard, default 60):

/tv/dashboards?ids=overview,<id2>,<id3>&interval=30

Small dots in the header show the position in the rotation.

Parameter Meaning
refresh refresh in seconds (default: the dashboard's setting, otherwise 30)
from / to time range, e.g. from=now-24h
var-<name> value of a variable

Auth

Both wall views need a valid login; without one they redirect to the login. The data follows the permissions of the logged-in account — for a wall PC a dedicated account with read-only permissions is recommended. There is no login token in the address; a ?token= from older links is not evaluated.

Browser recommendation

  • current Chrome / Edge / Firefox
  • 1080p or 4K
  • kiosk mode on the wall PC, e.g. chromium --kiosk --disable-features=TranslateUI <url>
