Service information section of dashboard looks like following by default
This section of service instance dashboard can be configured to have extra rows in each panel. Let's add Additional information in each panel. To do that, we will have to write a dashboard template and specify added fields inside template. Let's write a template example.
<%
const plan_manager = plan.manager.name;
const instance_create_time = instance.metadata.created_at;
%>
service:
Additional: 'This is template example'
plan:
Manager: <%= plan_manager %>
URL: 'protocol://example.com'
service_instance:
Creation Time: <%= instance_create_time %>
Above template will add 'Additional' row in service panel, 'Manager' and 'URL' in plan panel, 'Creation Time' in service_instance panel.
Save this template file as /config/templates/blueprint-dashboard.yml.ejs
Apart from this we will also have to add dashboard_template node in service plan in config/settings.yml
plan:
manager:
settings:
dashboard_template: <%= base64_template('blueprint-dashboard') %>
Now, added fields can be seen in updated dashboard
