Hi! I trying create auto-refreshed dashbord via superset on my web site.
How to reproduce the bug
I tune public role for showing dashboard. I tune dashboard to use auto-refresh. If I reload page, the auto-refresh stil working. I use dashboard link http://host/superset/dashboard/1/?standalone=4 in iframe on my webpage.
And it works fine. But in standalone mode auto-refresh mode not working.
Expected results
The auto-refresh working. and charts in dashboard do refresh every 10 seconds.
Actual results
Auto-refresh not working. Charts freeze with data that was getted with loading page.
Environment
(please complete the following information):
- browser type and version: chrome 119.0.6045.124 (64 bit)
- superset version:
apache/superset:3.0.1 - any feature flags active:
FEATURE_FLAGS = {
"ENABLE_TEMPLATE_PROCESSING": True
}
Thanks!

I got same result. Dashboard doesn't auto-refresh when embeded in iframe.
One workaround is to refresh the iframe with javascript setInterval() in the external page, but this will clear the filters, so it's not a good solution.
Looking for a fix to this. Thanks.

We are having the same issue. Did anybody find a solution?

I have the same problem.

Hi!
I found half-solution.
With standalone=1 autorefresh is working.
We use that query params &standalone=1&show_filters=0&expand_filters=0".
And add css, in dashboard level, to hide no needed elements.

@andrejs82git I tested and it works, but this is not a solution for our use case as we need standalone=2.

Same issue here, can't use css to hide the menu action bar since I can't save the dashboard then

I'm experiencing the same issue. When using supersetEmbeddedSdk.embedDashboard, if I set hideTitle: true in dashboardUiConfig, the dashboard's auto-refresh stops working. However, when I set this option to false, the auto-refresh functions properly again

Is this still an issue in 4.1.2 or newer?

Thanks @ricardo-carvalho-setwin . This helped me :)

@dosu any thoughts on this one? Were any relevant PRs opened?
Comment From: dosubot[bot]
This issue is caused by how Superset implements auto-refresh: the timer is set up in the DashboardHeader component. If you use standalone modes or set hideTitle: true (which hides the header), the auto-refresh logic never runs—so charts won't refresh automatically. This is by design in the current codebase and hasn't changed in recent versions. There are no PRs that address or fix this specific behavior as of 4.1.2 or newer. The only workaround is to avoid hiding the header, or to refactor the auto-refresh logic out of the header if persistent auto-refresh is needed in embedded/standalone dashboards.
A recent PR (#29956) improved query refresh handling by aborting requests on timeout, but it doesn't address this header/auto-refresh linkage. For now, hiding the header disables auto-refresh, and there isn't an official workaround or config to change that behavior.
To reply, just mention @dosu.
