Where/how are the main Console widgets stored? Can they be pre-set?

0

Note: I'm not asking about any of the programmable "widgets" in CloudWatch. This is about the widgets described at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awsconsolehelpdocs/latest/gsg/work-with-widgets.html and shown on the first Console page when logging in: "Recently visited", "Cost and usage", "AWS Health", "latest AWS blog", etc.

Specifically, where is the "show widget X, Z, Z; don't show widgets A, B, C" type of information stored? I know some of the Console stuff is kept in client-side browser cookies, like the list of Favorite buttons for starred services. Are the widgets also in cookies, or are they stored server-side with a user identity?

The settings that determine which widgets to display or hide on your AWS Management Console dashboard, such as "show widget X, Y, Z; don't show widgets A, B, C," are stored on the server side and are associated with your user identity. This means that these preferences are saved within AWS's servers and linked directly to your account profile, ensuring that they persist across different sessions and devices, provided you log in with the same user credentials.

💡 To practically verify this, you can customize your dashboard by adding or removing widgets and then access the AWS Console from a different browser or in private browsing mode, where the cache and local storage are cleared. Upon logging in, you should see that your customized dashboard settings persist, indicating that the information is indeed stored server-side, not locally on your device.

  • Yep, that definitely identifies where they're stored. Thank you!

    (By chance do you happen to know if such settings can be programmatically assigned? We would love to give our new users a unified consistent appearance when they first access a given account on the Console; right now when they log in we walk them through getting rid of the various widgets that their account doesn't have permissions for anyhow.)
