1. Describe your incident:

When I enable the automatic refresh in UI, e.g. “every second”, “2 seconds” and so on, there seem to be several user actions that stop the auto-update again.

For example, when I open a particular log entry and want to view its details, the auto-update stops and the button to enable auto-update shows “No update”.
However, there are other situations that I have not yet understood where auto-refresh is stopped.

I’d like to know which actions this cause and second how we can keep the auto-refreshing ongoing although Graylog “thinks” that it should stop with refresh for some reasons.

2. Describe your environment:

  • OS Information:

Ubuntu 20.4

  • Package Version:

Graylog version is 4.2.2

  • Service logs, configurations, and environment variables:
  • do not apply here, this is indentend behaviour and I like to understand its configuration -

3. What steps have you already taken to try and solve the problem?

  • turn on automatic refresh, play around, it will stop refresh, I enable this again and so on
  • tried to find an answer to my question over the internet, but it even got never asked so far

4. How can the community help?

Hello && Welcome

Yes, this will happen and has been for a while, also for example if you save a dashboard with the refresh rate to any setting then reload you tab, it will show “Not update”. If you adjusted your Widget and click apply/save it will take you out of the refresh rate. I believe this is done by default. You could ask for a feature request here.
