8 years ago Grafana2 will now location.reload() whenever it gets a 401.
There is one downside to this solution and would require the next conditions to happen at the same time:
- user is adding a new dashboard
- user loses session or logs out (from zmon in another browser tab for example)
- user gets prompt "Unsaved changes, are you sure you want to reload this page?" and clicks yes
After this the user will be redirected to authenticate and then back to an un existing page (/grafana2/dashboard/new) showing an Error page instead.
When a user doesn't have a session (it has not authenticated yet or it expired) Grafana2 loads but charts fail to fetch data. Backend responds with 401.
By reloading the grafana2 page, spring will take care of all redirection forth and back from authentication.
