Hi All,Figured I'd put this here as I know a lot of folks would like this and don't want to mess with timeout = 0 or user settings. This process is pretty straight forward and requires minimal HTML knowledge and a way to host local HTML files to show on any screen. If you want a dashboard experience you can display on a NOC screen, wallboard, or shared monitor without logging into the LM UI, the simplest path is to use Shared Widgets and embed them into a single web page.1) Choose what you want to showStart with an existing dashboard and decide which widgets should be visible externallyOR build a purpose-made dashboard.2) Generate the Widget Access / Embedded URL (per widget)For each widget:Edit / Configure widgetCopy the Widget access URL / Embedded URLLogicMonitor docs (step-by-step):https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/dashboards-and-widgets/managing-widgets/sharing-widgets-via-embedded-urlsLogicMonitor dashboards normally require authentication, but Shared Widgets generate a token-protected link that you can safely embed into an internal page.3) Build one HTML “container” page (using iframes)Create a simple HTML page and embed each widget URL with an <iframe> (one iframe per widget).Example skeleton:<!doctype html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" /> <title>LogicMonitor Kiosk</title> <style> body { margin: 0; background: #000; } .grid { display: grid; gap: 8px; padding: 8px; height: 100vh; grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr; } iframe { width: 100%; height: 100%; border: 0; background: #111; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="grid"> <iframe src="PASTE_WIDGET_EMBED_URL_1"></iframe> <iframe src="PASTE_WIDGET_EMBED_URL_2"></iframe> <iframe src="PASTE_WIDGET_EMBED_URL_3"></iframe> <iframe src="PASTE_WIDGET_EMBED_URL_4"></iframe> </div> </body> </html> 4) Host the HTML page somewhere internal (so it has its own URL)Host that HTML file on:SharePoint (common choice)Any internal web server / intranet page you trustOnce it’s hosted, you now have one stable URL to load in a kiosk browser. 5) Optional: rotate views like a slideshowLogicMonitor doesn’t currently provide a native “slideshow mode” for shared dashboards, but you can get the same effect with browser tooling.Two common options:Tab rotator: open multiple tabs and cycle through them automaticallyURL rotator: maintain a list of URLs and rotate on a timer (survives browser restarts better)Chrome Web Store and other browser web stores has several extensions that do this.
