GUI refresh button

[andyclimb]

Had a quick search of forum and could not find a reference to one.

I'm always clicking off various tabs and then back again just to get the data to update its self.

Is it possible to have for certain tabs, ie storage a refresh button to update the data?

many thanks

Andrew

At least in the reporting tab the GUI is already auto-refreshing every 5 minutes or so.

I'd like to see a "Refresh [Now]" button. Pressing F5 reloads the GUI but takes one back to the "System Information" page.

Well, considering that those charts are for historical data for comparison, I can't believe you'd ever be in a situation where you have to know what the value is right now. If you do, there's plenty of CLI tools that will be able to provide that information for you. Those charts are just a collection of command outputs that are graphed to look pretty.

Learn the CLI and you can get the data for yourself whenever you want.

I didn't realize that Warri was referring to the graphs. I'm talking about the main Storage tab where the Used and Available information is displayed. Right now I am partway through a long zfs send operation -- from the CLI -- and would like to be able to see right now how much of the data has been transferred

Ah, that doesn't work because the send's total disk space isn't technically allocated until the command finishes. You can somewhat monitor it from the CLI though with a few commands. I believe zpool list is the one I used for large multi-TB zfs sends.
