Dashboards

Once you've added a connection and installed one or more mods into your workspace, the Dashboards and Benchmarks will become available for you to run in the Dashboards tab. You can browse the list or use the powerful search to filter by name/tag, etc.

Navigate to your workspace, then from the Pipes tab, choose Powerpipe.

Click on a dashboard to run it.

Saving Snapshots

Turbot Pipes allows you to save and share dashboard snapshots. A snapshot is a saved view of a dashboard at a point in time with a given set of inputs and variables.

To take a snapshot, click the Snap button at the top of the dashboard after the dashboard is fully loaded (the button will be disabled until the dashboard has finished loading).

Alternatively, you can click the Share button to take a snapshot and share a link with others. You can set the visibility of the snapshot to restrict access to only those with access to your workspace, or share it so that anyone on the internet with the link can view it.

Scheduling Snapshots

Rather than manually capture dashboard snapshots, Turbot Pipes allows you to schedule them and be notified when complete.

Scheduling a snapshot is as simple as navigating to the dashboard you wish to schedule, optionally setting it up with any required inputs and choosing the Schedule dropdown from the dashboard toolbar.

From here, you can either choose to create a new schedule or see any existing schedules that are configured for this dashboard.

If you select New Schedule, you'll be presented with the following screen.

Option	Description
Title	The title of this schedule.
Frequency	How often scheduled snapshot should run:`Weekly`, `Daily`, `Hourly`, `Custom` For `Weekly`, `Daily` and `Hourly` frequencies, Turbot Pipes will automatically allocate a random time for these, with `Weekly` schedules being run at that time on a Sunday. For a `Custom` frequency, you can supply a cron schedule (not more than once every 15 minutes).
Visibility	Optionally choose the visibility of the snapshot generated. By default, visibility is restricted to only those with access to your workspace, but you can choose to share it so that anyone on the internet with the link can view it.
Notifications	Optionally send a summary notification to a Slack and/or Microsoft Teams webhook. We will send a summary of all the card values in the dashboard with a link back to the Snapshot.
Snapshot tags	Add optional tags to the created snapshot. These can be used to easily find snapshots at a later date via the search functionality.

After scheduling a snapshot, you will be taken to the schedule detail page, which shows you editable details of the schedule, information on its next run and last run status, along with a link out to the process logs.

When the schedule runs, Pipes will upload the snapshot to your workspace as the system user, rather than attribute the activity to the user creating the schedule.
