[Skywalking UI]ui-initialized-templates change doesn't take effect(I have emptied the browser cache and made sure the local-endpoint exists)

[Linkaiup]

What happened

I add a child dashboard in the ${SKYWALKING_HOME}/config/ui-initialized-templates/dolphinscheduler.yml

{
              "name":"Worker Task",
              "children":[
                {
                  "width":3,
                  "title":"AbstractTask handle Load",
                  "height":350,
                  "entityType":"Endpoint",
                  "independentSelector":true,
                  "metricType":"REGULAR_VALUE",
                  "metricName":"endpoint_cpm",
                  "queryMetricType":"readMetricsValues",
                  "chartType":"ChartLine",
                  "currentService":"dolphinscheduler::worker-server",
                  "currentEndpoint":"worker/SHELL/handle"
                }
}

Then I make sure i have the local endpoint that i want to watch

But the web ui still doesn't take effect

You have the edit page open already. What do you mean doesn't exist? Do you mean can't see from another browser?

[wu-sheng]

I think you missed a key point of this custom dashboard setting, which doesn't change the data more than local browser.

The first two sub-panels are in effect, the last one does not
My custom dashboard file is

templates:
  - name: Dolphinscheduler
    type: "DASHBOARD"
    configuration: |-
      [
        {
          "name":"Dolphinscheduler",

      ]
    # Activated as the DASHBOARD type, makes this templates added into the UI page automatically.
    # False means providing a basic template, user needs to add it manually.
    activated: true
    # True means wouldn't show up on the dashboard. Only keeps the definition in the storage.
    disabled: false

The problem is that the templates are initialized template by template, and you are updating the configuration item in an existing template (named Dolphinscheduler , which won't be initialized again, you need to delete the template named Dolphinscheduler and let the OAP re-initialize the template.

And remember to empty the browser cache

Successfully resolved!Thank you for your help.

Then why does the panel added by editing on the page disappear after restarting the skywalking-webapp?

[wu-sheng]

I think webapp has nothing related to templates. All are in database only.
