Summary

Start initial off-screen queries for explicitly opted-in embedded canned dashboards. Preserve real visibility, so later off-screen refreshes remain deferred. This fixes scroll-dependent initial panel starts without changing query authority or globally disabling lazy loading.

  • preloadPanels defaults off; only embedded standard dashboards can select it.
  • LazyLoader supports late opt-in, calls onLoad once, and retains IntersectionObserver cleanup.
  • PanelStateWrapper admits only the first off-screen query; subsequent refreshes coalesce until visibility.
  • Host activation is the internal-org-only companion mono#46969.

Verification

  • 27 applicable tests passed across scoped runs: grid13, panel6, lazy3, state2, MFE store3. The panel suite exercises real DashboardModel initialization and proves scrolling does not requery an already-loaded result.
  • Production yarn build passed with all 11 prerequisites (webpack50.655s); existing bundle-size warnings remain.
  • Scoped ESLint, Prettier and git diff --check passed.
  • Built production MFE exercised in the browser against a loopback-only synthetic HTTP fixture: preload-off queried P1/P2; late preload started only off-screen P3; later refresh queried P1/P2 and deferred P3 until visibility; initial preload-on queried all three once, with no duplicate query on scroll. All rendered42. This uses real frontend/model/runner/IntersectionObserver, but replaces Handler/BigQuery; it is NOT production latency, parity, or security acceptance.
  • Full yarn typecheck remains failing:122 diagnostics in95 unchanged files (121 bundled table plugin,1 VariableQueryRunner nullable dashboardUID). All10 changed files are in the compiler program with no reported semantic errors. This is not a passing full check or an unchanged-checkout baseline run. No checks were bypassed.

Rollout and rollback

Additive, default-off option: old hosts stay lazy and old Grafana ignores the new host property. Either repository may deploy first. Internal validation must precede any wider preload activation. Disable host opt-in to return to lazy behavior; no service revision rollback, reader routing, IAM, writer, or data changes are involved.

Reviewer focus

Late host updates, retained portal visibility, once-only initial query admission, and later refresh deferral. Fixture-only changes repair actual module loading and awaited React interactions; mutation detection remains enabled.

Handoff

User intent: finish the metrics performance push and verify every panel before reader cutover. This frontend fix benefits both serving paths and does not select a reader. Code is on codex/canned-panel-preload, based on coderabbit_micro_frontend at45724dd584. Next steps: normal CI/review, host integration, authorized deployment, then real internal full-page timing and correctness checks. No production acceptance or all-reader readiness is claimed. Generated public/microfrontends/fn_dashboard/index.html and local fixture runners are deliberately excluded.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Dashboard panels can now load their initial data before becoming visible when panel preloading is enabled. This applies to function dashboards in standard access mode; other dashboards retain their existing loading behavior.
    • After the initial query, off-screen panels continue to defer subsequent refreshes until they are viewed, preserving lazy refresh behavior while allowing initial data to be ready sooner.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a default-off preloadPanels setting for embedded standard dashboards. When enabled, it starts an off-screen panel’s initial query while preserving the panel’s visibility state. Later off-screen refreshes remain deferred until the panel becomes visible. LazyLoader supports late opt-in and calls onLoad once. Tests cover setting propagation, loading, query refresh behavior, and state updates.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3e270

The opt-in remains default-off and limited to standard embedded dashboards. The supplied tests cover initial preloading and later visibility-based refreshes; no actionable merge-blocking risk is identified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3e270

Preloading is off by default and does not appear to change who can run a panel query. On an opted-in dashboard with many panels, starting off-screen queries together could increase initial load. The effect on production capacity has not been established.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Opted-in dashboards can start initial queries for all rendered off-screen panels together. The one-query guard is per panel instance, not a cross-panel load limit, so large dashboards could concentrate backend work at startup.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is earlier execution of existing queries for panels on an eligible opted-in dashboard. The inspected path does not establish attacker control of the host setting or a cross-tenant reachability change.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Frontend eligibility is checked before preload reaches the panel. Preload changes query scheduling; the inspected execution path continues to use the existing panel query inputs and runner. Backend authorization was not independently verified.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — LazyLoader guards its load callback against repeats and removes its observer callback on unmount. The panel wrapper defers repeated off-screen refreshes and unsubscribes its listeners on unmount.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If opted-in dashboards can contain many expensive panels, consider a dashboard-level initial-query budget or staggered admission, informed by production load measurements.

A rabbit peeks where panels sleep,
“One first query, then wait and keep.”
Off-screen, I hop; the view stays true,
Late preload wakes the panel too.
One load, then back to carrots anew.

  • public/app/features/dashboard/dashgrid/LazyLoader.test.tsx#L51-L51: supply a typed intersection-entry fixture instead of asserting a partial object is an IntersectionObserverEntry.
