Automatic refresh of visualizations on a dashboard with a push dataset.

[PitErr]

Hi, 

I have a push dataset that I'm constantly pushing data points to using Azure Stream Analytics. I have also created a report using this dataset that visualizes the data. I also set the auto-refresh of data in this report to a certain value (10 seconds). I can manually refresh the report and it is updated with the latest data. 

When I pin individual visuals from my report to the dashboard, the tiles are automatically refreshed at specified intervals (10s). The tile correctly shows the last refresh time.

When I pin the entire report to a dashboard, the report tile doesn't refresh (or refreshes very rarely). I'm sure I did a similar exercise a few months ago and it worked fine. Now, the report tile shows a strange last refresh time (long past - around the time the base report was created). Even when I click on the "pin to dashboard" option on the report page, the little popup that appears contains a small visual of my whole report and is automatically refreshed there at expected intervals.

Should a pinned report built on a push dataset be automatically refreshed or not?

Regards,

Pit

Hi @PitErr 

The reason is because when you pin an entire page it does not automatically refresh and you have to manually refresh. When you create a tile it will automatically refresh. This is by design.

Thank you @GilbertQ. I can live with it, but I see two problems 😀

One thing is that the "last refresh time" on the full report tile shows time long in the past. It should at least show the manual refresh time.

Another thing is that I have witnesses who could swear this approach worked some time ago 😀 We pinned the entire report and observed that it was automatically refreshed.

I even found a recording which we made during a meeting in December 2022, where we pinned the entire report to the dashboard (based on a push dataset) and it was regularly, automatically updated. It really worked a few months ago. Something must have changed.
