Ciao  
can anyone know if the Observability Dashboard can be customized in term of fields shows ?

We are able to change the field but when we refresh the page we miss the customization.

Stack v. 7.17.3

Hi @Mario_Fimiani

Apologies but we are unclear what exactly you are looking for / trying to do.. perhaps you could provide a little more detail / screen shots etc?

Yes,  
when we configure the custom field for alerting dashboard, in the "observability" section, we miss the configuration after the page reloading.

Btw, I checked the new version and discovered that in this new version 8.5.0 the problem is not present.
