Embed Looker dashboards and graphs in a Vitally dashboard.

Vitally's native integration with Looker allows you to embed your Looker dashboards and graphs directly into any Vitally dashboard alongside your other widgets.

Enabling the Looker integration

Enabling the Looker integration requires access to your Embed Secret. Now in Vitally navigate to your Settings (⚙️) by selecting your Account Logo on the top left and under Operations select Integrations. Then select Looker (or via Quick Jump Mac: ⌘ + j Windows: Alt + j). Once you toggle on Looker on the top right, you'll be asked for that Embed Secret:

If your Looker Dashboard shows a 'refused to connect' message, it may be because the website it's supplied on has 'X-Frame-Options' set to 'sameorigin', which means no browser will load it in an iframe within a different website.

If you're receiving a '401—You are not authenticated to view this page' error, it may be due to your access permission or because your browser is blocking third-party cookies.

Adding Looker reports to a Vitally dashboard

  1. Navigate to a Vitally dashboard > add widget > add iframe
