Default dashboard missing from Bluemix Access Trail Service under Security category - ibm-cloud

I have a Bluemix user and he has manager access to his space. He wants to create a custom dashboard in Access Trail Service in Bluemix console. However, he cannot see the default dashboard that comes out of the box with the creation of an Access Trail service instance. Is there any way to get the default dashboard to display?

To recreate the default Access Trail dashboard, open the Access Trail dashboard for your space in Bluemix where you have the problem and click Create a dashboard. The default dashboard for that space will be recreated.

Setting up kubernetes dashboard for typhoon

We are using https://github.com/poseidon/typhoon for our kubernetes cluster setup.
I want to set up a dashboard for kubernetes similar to https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/
I followed https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/dashboard-tutorial.html and I am able to get the dashboard on my localhost
The issue with this is that "EVERY USER HAS TO FOLLOW THE SAME TO ACCESS THE DASHBOARD"
I was wondering if there was some way wherein we can access the dashboard via DomainName and everyone should be able to access it without much pre-set up required.
In dashboard documentation you can read:
Using Skip option will make Dashboard use privileges of Service
Account used by Dashboard. Skip button is disabled by default since
1.10.1. Use --enable-skip-login dashboard flag to display it.
So you can add --enable-skip-login to the dashboard to display skip button.
If your users don't want to login, they can click Skip button during login and use privileges of Dashboard service account.

Kubernetes Dashboard: Service Accounts

Is it possible to view Service Accounts via the Kubernetes Dashboard?
I can see a token that was created for the Service Account under Secrets but struggling to actually find the Service Account listed anywhere.
There is no way to list all Service Acccounts under specific submenu in Kubernetes Dashboard but you can view owner Service Account of Secrets by clicking on them under Details/Annotations: section as kubernetes.io/service-account.name: <service-account-name>
For additional information, you can visit below links:
Web UI (Dashboard).
And also for github project https://github.com/kubernetes/dashboard/
Hope it will be useful for you

Setting a dashboard as home in Grafana

Is there a way to set a dashboard in Grafana as the home without admin login ? I have a Helm chart that I deploy Grafana with so I would like to do this at a configuration level.
I could not see any options under http://docs.grafana.org/installation/configuration/ for grafana.ini
I'm able to do this manually by login as the admin for the default organization, starring a dashboard and setting that dashboard as the home under preferences. But ofcourse automating this through configuration would be ideal.
Not sure how to do it via .ini file. But you could make use of the Grafana API to get this done.
If you can figure out the Id of the dashboard.Or create via the API itself
Use /api/user/stars/dashboard/{id} to star the dashboard
Then update preference to set the dashboard as home.
Hope this helps.

No cloudant DB credentials for bluemix dedicated

I have created a cloudant DB in bluemix dedicated. But it didn't give me credentials. It provides me with a link to launch the admin portal, which works fine. But clearly not very useful without credentials to use with code...
You should bind the service to an application. Doing that you will be able to see the credentials in the VCAP_SERVICES environment variable. You can find its value within the application dashboard, clicking on "Environment Variables" on the left.
You will also find the credentials clicking on the "Service Credentials" button that you can find on the service instance panel (again in the application dashboard).
Your dedicated environment may look a bit different that the public Bluemix dashboard, but when I click on the tile that shows my cloudant service, it takes me to a page with a menu on the left with the option "Service Credentials" once I choose that the window shows a button to "Add Credentials".

My Bluemix IoT Foundation organization is not shown on webpage

I have a Bluemix account with organization defined, but when I login to IoTF via the webpage https://internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/ my organization is not shown. I see a message that says "You are not a member of any organization".
I am unable to add any devices as a result. What could be causing this issue?
The likely explanation is that you were a temporary member of your IoTF organization and that has subsequently expired.
When you create an IoTF service using Bluemix, an IoTF organization is created and your IBM ID is added as a temporary member. This temporary membership expires after 24 hours and the effect is similar to what you are describing.
If you were to access IoTF using the service tile in Bluemix (Launch Dashboard) then you would be logged straight in to your organization. At this point you will be able to add members (including yourself) to the IoTF organization and then be able to log in directly at https://internetofthings.ibmcloud.com/
The reason for this is that if a Bluemix user created an IoTF service, there is not necessarily the affirmation that that user will forever be authorized to access it. By making that user a temporary member, it is able to log in directly for 24 hours only until the ID is added as a permanent member, or that user always accesses the IoTF dashboard using the Bluemix service tile. The intention is that without positive action the user creating the service will still need access in Bluemix, in order to access IoTF.
