[Feature] Row collapse status in URL
Some large dashboards have lots of rows collapsed by default:
Each row itself has lots of graphs and it's often not needed to unroll them by default.
When people look at these dashboards and want to sow multiple graphs, they have to send a link and tell which row to unroll. This is not very usable.
I suggest that row collapse status is passed into URL, so when shared, people see exactly what the person sharing the dashboard wanted to show.
This would be a really handy feature. Are there any plans to work on that soonish?
Otherwise: is there any workaround to do so? Especially while reloading a board it is quite cumbersome to reopen you previously opened rows.
Hello,
Another usecase for such param is incoming with datasources implementing caching (cortex FE, thanos, trickster...). What we would like to do is warm the cache based on some alerts firing. But because most rows are closed, this wont cache anything :/.
This request has 50 upvotes by now - not sure what the threshold is for a notable feature request?
Any workaround for this? I looked into incorporating parts of the json into the url but no luck. This seems to be a very useful feature to give more granular control of dashboard objects using the URL.
Would the approach suggested here also fit your use case? https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/82827
It seems complimentary. It's good to be able to scroll to a specific row, but if that row is the second one in the dashboard requiring no scrolling and it's collapsed, then it's not doing much without also expanding the row.
Will this feature also support direct link to a row within the panel? (similar to the 'viewPanel' param, but only scrolling to the row instead of opening it seperatly). My use case is very similar to issue #82827. I would actually like to link from the summary overview panels on the top of my dashboard to the row in the same dashboard, with more details, to save the scrolling and searching.
