Redash

Slide

Put Redash dashboards on the big screen so the queries your team already relies on stay visible without anyone opening a browser tab.

What you can do

  • Display dashboards – Show any published Redash dashboard on your devices
  • No sign-in on the device – A public share link loads without a Redash account
  • Scheduled refresh – The dashboard’s own refresh interval keeps the device current
  • Multiple dashboards – Put different dashboards on different slides

Set it up

Redash dashboards are displayed using Displayful's built-in Website slide — there's nothing to connect.

Create a public share link

  1. In Redash, open the dashboard and make sure it is Published — drafts can't be shared.
  2. Click the share icon.
  3. Enable public access. Redash generates a secret URL of the form /public/dashboards/<token>.
  4. Copy that URL.
The secret URL is readable by anyone who has it, with no sign-in. Treat it like a password, and revoke it from the same dialog if a device is ever decommissioned.

Set the refresh interval

Redash refreshes a public dashboard on the schedule configured for the dashboard itself, so set that in Redash rather than trying to force it from the URL. Something in the one-to-five minute range suits a wall display.

Add it as a slide

  1. In your slideshow, click Add slide → Website.
  2. Paste the public dashboard URL.
  3. Save. The dashboard will render on your devices.
Most Redash installs are self-hosted. The device loads the dashboard directly, so it needs to reach your Redash host — an instance behind a VPN or on an internal network won't render unless the device is on that same network.
