Embedding a NOC view with expiry

From version 128234, users have the ability to set expiry time for the embedded NOC view. If link expiry has not been enabled, the embedded widgets will be accessible forever.​ If the link has expired, you can extend the embedded link's expiry, or you can set a new expiry time and regenerate the link.

1. Select the Enable link expiry checkbox while embedding an NOC view.



2. Set the expiry date and time.



3. ​Click Save to extend the link's expiry period, or click Save & Regenerate to regenerate a new link with updated expiry period.



Note:

1. The NOC embed URL allows a viewer to modify or customize it as per his/her requirements. However, the change will not be saved on the server. If any new user accesses the same NOC view using the embed link, he/she will be loaded with the default version.
2. You can access the specific NOC view using the embedded URL without logging into OpManager.
