Define default properties for glass tables in ITSI

The defaults section of a glass table in IT Service Intelligence (ITSI) defines default properties for various glass table elements.

  • In the defaults section of the glass table definition at a global level for all visualizations or all data sources.

Set global defaults

The following code snippet from the defaults section uses the global field to set refresh and refreshType settings for all data sources.

"defaults": {
    "dataSources": {
      "global": {
        "options": {
          "refresh": "1m",
          "refreshType": "delay"
        }
      }
    },
  }

Sample options for the defaults section

Set properties in the dataSource or visualizations stanzas under either global or specify individual visualization types or data source types. Following the JSON format, each setting must be enclosed in quotes unless it is a boolean value or a number. Options other than the last one set must end in a comma.
