Dashboard refresh time

I asked the same question in a comment in this article.  It is really needed to know how old the data is that we are looking at in a dashboard.

No guarantee on the best way to do this but here goes.

We can estimate the last sync time by looking at the timestamp of the last ticket updated. 

First, create a new metric to calculate how many minutes have passed today since a ticket was updated.

For ROWS, add

• Ticket ID
• Ticket Updated - Timestamp

Filter

• Ticket Updated - Timestamp is TODAY

Result Manipulation

This should give you a report like this:

To just display the timestamp, go to Chart Configuration> Columns  and hide the ticket and last update columns.

You can then add the final report to your dashboards.

I hope there are plans to make this a little less convoluted. I'd like to just be able to add an element (similar to to a text field) that just adds the latest timestamp for that dash.

Hi everyone!

While there isn't a way to add a widget directly to the dashboard that tells you the last data sync, you can find the time of the last data sync by looking at the Dataset page.
