The slideshow (/slideshow) is a full-screen NOC-style presentation that loops through every managed cluster automatically. It is designed for wall-mounted screens or unattended monitoring displays.
Configure a dashboard viewer user in replication-manager.toml:
api-credentials = "admin:repman,dba:repman,viewer:viewerpassword"
api-credentials-acl-allow = "admin:cluster db proxy prov global grant show sale extrole terminal,dba:cluster proxy db,viewer:show cluster-show-backups cluster-show-routes cluster-show-certificates cluster-show-graphs cluster-show-agents"
api-dashboard-user = "viewer"Then open http://<host>:10005/dashboard in any browser — no login required. The slideshow starts immediately and runs indefinitely.
For each cluster the slideshow displays two slides in sequence:
| Slide | Content |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Cluster detail, HA state, database servers, proxies, application servers, workload, logs |
| Maintenance | Backup list, Restic snapshots, current backup task progress, job queue, job logs |
After cycling through all clusters it loops back to the first one.
Each slide is shown for 30 seconds. A thin blue progress bar across the top of the page tracks time remaining on the current slide. The header shows the cluster name, the current view (Dashboard / Maintenance), and a cluster counter ("Cluster 2 of 5").
Underlying cluster data is refreshed in the background every refresh_interval seconds (default 4 s) so the information stays current throughout the display.
The slideshow can be paused and resumed with the play/stop buttons in the top bar. While paused, the current slide stays on screen and data continues to refresh.
The slideshow uses the same viewer JWT issued by /api/dashboard-token. Action buttons that require write grants (switchover, failover, configuration changes, provisioning, backup triggers) are hidden because the viewer ACL does not include those grants — the page is safe to display on a shared or public screen.
Security note:
GET /api/dashboard-tokenreturns a token to any visitor without credentials. Set thevieweruser's ACL to the minimum required (e.g.showonly). The endpoint is disabled whenapi-dashboard-useris empty — remove or clear the key to turn it off.
