Share Dashboard Content
Collaborate using shared dashboard links
Share links that point teammates to the exact data you want them to see. Use these links to direct attention to a specific widget, a key section, or the full dashboard view during investigations, reviews, or everyday analysis.
What you need
- A saved dashboard
- The
team-dashboards:Readpermission, which allows you to view public custom dashboards
Share a widget
Use a widget link to open the dashboard focused on a specific visualization.
- In the widget’s more actions menu, select Share widget URL. This copies a URL that includes the widget’s
widgetIDparameter. - Or select Maximize to open the widget’s enlarged view. This updates the browser URL with the widget’s
widgetIDparameter, which you can copy directly.
Example share widget link:
https://onlineboutique.coralogix.com/#/dashboards/lRjT6YSeVGFsWsIuckFUK?widgetID=97e73431-94d5-46d6-921a-3e87e60473eb
For an explanation of each part of the link, see Understanding dashboard link structure.
Anyone with access to the dashboard can open the link and view the widget in context.
Share a section
Use a section link to open the dashboard scrolled to a specific section. The section expands automatically.
In the section’s more actions menu, select Share section URL. This copies a URL containing the section’s widgetID parameter to your clipboard.
Example share section link:
https://onlineboutique.coralogix.com/#/dashboards/lRjT6YSeVGFsWsIuckFUK?widgetID=19521dba-2e89-4fa6-8631-8b20c8862b7b
For an explanation of each part of the link, see Understanding dashboard link structure.
Anyone with access to the dashboard can open the link and jump directly to the section.
Share the full dashboard
To share the entire dashboard, select Share Dashboard URL in the dashboard more actions menu. This copies the URL to your clipboard.
Use this when you want teammates to see the full layout rather than a specific widget or section.
Understanding dashboard link structure
Dashboard share links follow a consistent format. Each part of the URL determines what dashboard is opened, and which widget or section is brought into view.
- Replace
<team>with your team name - Replace
<coralogix_domain>with your regional Coralogix domain - Replace
<dashboard_ID>with the ID of your dashboard - Replace
<target_ID>with the unique ID of the widget or section you are sharing
Both widget and section links use the same widgetID URL parameter.
Note
If you set a dashboard slug, this slug replaces the dashboard ID in the URL path after /dashboards/. This applies to all shared dashboard links. To learn more about dashboard slugs, see Manage Dashboard Settings.
Anyone with sufficient dashboard permissions can open the link and be taken directly to the widget or section.
Save behavior for all shared links
Shared links always include the last saved dashboard configuration and the current URL-encoded state.
The dashboard configuration includes:
- Which widgets and sections exist
- How each widget and section is configured
- Where widgets and sections are placed on the dashboard
The URL-encoded state includes:
- Time range selection
- Variable selections for existing dashboard variables
You must save the following changes for them to be included in the shared dashboard:
- Creating, deleting, or renaming dashboard variables
- Changing filter selections
- Adding or modifying widgets or sections (including configuration and layout changes)
When a link is shared, the saved configuration is combined with the URL-encoded state. This results in the following behavior:
New widgets or new sections:
If you create widget or new section and share the link without saving, the dashboard loads the previous saved version, without your new widget or section.
Modified widgets, sections, or filters:
If you edit a widget, section, or filter definition without saving, recipients see the previous saved version, without your changes.
Variable selections:
If you select a value for an existing variable, the selection is included in the shared link because it is encoded directly in the URL. Saving is not required.
Update time range selection:
If you change the time range selection, the update is included in the shared link because the time range is encoded directly in the URL. Saving is not required.
