This PR introduces the optional `page_size` query parameter to the `ListDashboards` endpoint. When set this will limit the size of the result set to the specified value. The client/frontend will be able to set this query parameter in calls to `ListDashboards` to limit the number of results returned - specifically in requests to search dashboards across folders. This PR only implements limiting the result set size and does not actually expose pagination as functionality of the `ListDashboards` endpoint. My hope however is that this implementation will put us in a good place to easily expose pagination on this endpoint if that's something we want to do in the future - though it would by no means be necessary. There are a couple of idiosyncrasies here. 1. The `ListDashboards` endpoint does not read or use any `page_idx` or `page_number` query parameter, as one might expect from a paginated endpoint. Therefore if the client sets the `page_size` parameter to some number N then the `ListDashboards` endpoint will always return the top N results. (Considered in a different way, the endpoint always acts as if the requested page index is `0`.) - In the future we might want to add an additional `page_idx` query parameter as well to enable "true" pagination (rather than simply limiting the result set to the first N results). However there are no immediate plans for this. 2. The `page_size` query parameter is only read/used by the endpoint when the `title` parameter is **also** set. This means that when the `title` parameter is **not** set the endpoint will ignore the `page_size` parameter and will always return all dashboards that match the other query parameter, `folder`. - In the future we could choose to use this parameter any time it is provided, not just when `title` is also provided. To do that there would need to first be an update to the UI to address the issue described below. - For the time being this is necessary in order to not break the UI. This is because currently the UI always sends the query parameter `page_size=1000` to the endpoint, even though before now that query parameter was never recognized by the endpoint. Additionally, the UI assumes that the calls it makes to `ListDashboards` in order to show the dashboards in a selected folder always return **all** dashboards, and in such requests the frontend sets the `folder` query parameter but not the `title` query parameter. Therefore, if we actually to use the `page_size` parameter in **those** requests, then in its current implementation the UI would fail to show all dashboards when a folder with over 1000 dashboards is selected.
🚀 10x easier, 🚀 140x lower storage cost, 🚀 high performance, 🚀 petabyte scale - Elasticsearch/Splunk/Datadog alternative for 🚀 (logs, metrics, traces).
OpenObserve (O2 for short) is a cloud-native observability platform built specifically for logs, metrics, traces, analytics, RUM (Real User Monitoring - Performance, Errors, Session Replay) designed to work at petabyte scale.
It is straightforward and easy to operate, in contrast to Elasticsearch, which requires understanding and tuning numerous settings. Get OpenObserve up and running in under 2 minutes.
OpenObserve serves as a seamless replacement for Elasticsearch for users who ingest data using APIs and perform searches. OpenObserve comes with its own user interface, eliminating the need for separate installation.
You can reduce your log storage costs by ~140x compared to Elasticsearch by using OpenObserve. Below, we present the results from pushing logs from our production Kubernetes cluster to both Elasticsearch and OpenObserve using Fluent Bit.
