Add elements to Dashboard in 2.4.6

Hi, we're running 2.4.6 (update to 2.4.7 already scheduled) and I'm currently looking into how the Dashboard could be adapted to our needs. For now I have a simple question: Is it possible to add more Elements to the dashboard, let's say a second DashboardImage instance? I would have expected to be able to add these in the sysconfig, but found no way to do it in Framework -> Frontend::Agent::Dashboard. Did I overlook something? Yours Karsten

Hi Karsten,
actually, adding another instance of the Image or adding another feed
is as simple as duplicating the configuration.
If you're german, read this:

and if you're not German:
Configure one image in the dashboard via Sysconfig, then look up the
section in Kernel/Config/Files/ZZZAuto.pm and copy it over to
Kernel/Config.pm where you localize it and change the config option
name.
Alternatively:
Copy the XML snippet in Kernel/Files/Framework.xml that stores the
configuration for the dashboard image, copy it into a new file called
Karsten.xml or something more descriptive, change the name in the
ConfigItem Name tag to have a unique name. Now you can configure the
second, or third, or .. instance of the image, just via the SysConfig.
HTH,
