Edge Public Dashboard Configuration Guide

Overview

Public dashboard configuration allows access to the dashboard without authentication, i.e., the dashboard can be viewed by anyone who has the URL link.

In ThingsBoard Edge, public dashboards work similarly to how they do on the ThingsBoard Server.

Edge-Specific Considerations:

  • Edge public dashboards remain available within the local network, even if the internet is unavailable or restricted.

  • Edge public dashboards is accessible through the Edge’s local URL link. The public URL will typically be in the format: 
    1

    http://Edge-IP:8080/dashboards/dashboard-id

  • Even if the connection to the ThingsBoard Server is lost, the public dashboard will continue to operate using real-time device data from the Edge.

  • Edge will synchronize any updates or changes with the central ThingsBoard Server, once connectivity is restored.
