Hello,
Is it possible to view the html dashboard pages outside of the FME Server admin pages? For example I am intrested in writing a custom dashboard to FME Cloud and would like to share a direct link to it with some users, without requiring them to log in to FME Cloud/Server etc. and dealing with the UI. Is this possible? Thanks.

So I tested this options and it looks doable. The page is generated with a slight delay as a workspace has to run. Here's what I did:
I can now share the Server App URL, which will stream the "dashboard" to the user's browser. Are there alternative ways that don't require a workspace to run to just display a static web page on FME Server?
+53Could you setup a streaming service that streams back an html page. This would need to be configured using anonymous access
+11Hmmm I suppose that's a possibility: make a simple workspace that reads and streams the web page, then make it into a shared server app that is open...will give that a shot and see if it works. Thanks!

A dashboard is just a static html page, but that takes us back full circle 😂 😅
Not really unfortunately. Unless you have access to a webserver where you could host your own page seperate to FME server. You then would need to setup an FME process to periodically update that page

Yeah I guess I'm looking into turning FME Server into a webserver, especially FME Cloud 😂 We have an extensive sync process that runs on FME Cloud and I'm building logging to easily troubleshoot or spot issues etc. At least the solution you suggested is very close to making FME Server/Cloud an on-demand web server :) At least I can write detailed html summary logs with this method and create server apps to act as the URL (I can make the workspace shown above have a published parameter to select the appropriate dashboard). Thanks for the tip!
