Optimizing Live Mode• Dashboards in Live Mode have Constant Query (CQ) running in background to serve results quickly
• CQ is kept alive as long as Dashboard is viewed once every 30 days
• Limitations: There are a few operators that don’t support Live Mode
Optimizing Interactive Mode• Dashboards in Interactive Mode attempt to optimize Panels automatically when:
– Users choose a time range > 6 hours– Users publish a dashboard
• Optimized Panels can run in parallel improving efficiency; non-optimized Panels run serially
• Limitations: There are a few operators that don’t support optimization.
