| `MxGateway:Dashboard:SnapshotIntervalMilliseconds` | `1000` | Dashboard snapshot refresh interval used by the snapshot SignalR hub and the pages that subscribe to it. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:RecentFaultLimit` | `100` | Maximum number of fault summaries projected into each dashboard snapshot. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:RecentSessionLimit` | `200` | Maximum number of session summaries projected into each dashboard snapshot. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:ShowTagValues` | `false` | Controls whether tag values reach the dashboard's SignalR events hub mirror. `false` (default): `DashboardEventBroadcaster` blanks tag values from a deep-cloned copy of each `MxEvent` before it reaches any hub subscriber — event metadata (tag reference, quality, status, timestamps) still renders; see `docs/GatewayDashboardDesign.md`'s `EventsHub` row for the mechanism. This is now the second of two independent layers, not the only one: `IDashboardSessionAcl` decides *which* sessions a caller may subscribe to at all (see `GroupToTag` / `UntaggedSessionVisibility` below), while this flag decides what a permitted subscriber sees. Setting it `true` therefore exposes tag values to everyone the ACL admits — every Administrator, plus each Viewer holding a matching tag. The flag gates only the SignalR events hub mirror — it does **not** cover the `/browse` live-value display, nor the alarms hub (`AlarmsHubPublisher` broadcasts alarm transitions with their `current_value`/`limit_value` fields unredacted); both remain separate, still-open residuals. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:ShowTagValues` | `false` | Controls whether tag values reach the dashboard at all. `false` (the default) suppresses them on all three seams that carry one: (1) the **events hub mirror** — `DashboardEventBroadcaster` blanks `MxEvent.value` plus the alarm body's `current_value`/`limit_value` from a deep-cloned copy before it reaches any hub subscriber (see `docs/GatewayDashboardDesign.md`'s `EventsHub` row); (2) the **alarms hub** — `AlarmsHubPublisher` clears `current_value`/`limit_value` from a deep-cloned copy of each `AlarmFeedMessage`, on both value-bearing payload arms (`transition` and `active_alarm`), before broadcasting to `/hubs/alarms`; (3) the **`/browse` live-value panel** — `DashboardLiveDataService` substitutes the literal `[redacted]` for each tag's value text. Both hub redactions clone: the source `MxEvent` is shared with the gRPC event stream and the replay ring, and the source `AlarmFeedMessage` fans out to gRPC `StreamAlarms` subscribers, so neither is mutated in place and **no gRPC client is affected by this flag** — it is a dashboard-display control only. Everything that is not the value survives on every seam: tag reference, alarm reference/severity/state/operator, data type, quality, status, and timestamps still render, so the dashboard stays diagnostic without disclosing process values. This is one of two independent layers: `IDashboardSessionAcl` decides *which* sessions a caller may subscribe to at all (see `GroupToTag` / `UntaggedSessionVisibility` below), while this flag decides what a permitted subscriber sees. Setting it `true` exposes tag values to everyone the ACL admits — every Administrator, plus each Viewer holding a matching tag — and, because the alarms hub is session-less, exposes alarm values to every dashboard client that can reach `/hubs/alarms`. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:GroupToRole` | _(empty)_ | LDAP group → dashboard role mapping. Keys are LDAP group names (short CN or full DN — leading-RDN match). Values must be `Administrator` (read/write, API-key CRUD) or `Viewer` (read-only) — matched ordinally by the startup validator, so the spelling is exact and `Admin` is rejected. A user whose LDAP groups don't intersect this map cannot sign in; with no mapping at all, only the loopback bypass admits anyone. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:GroupToTag` | _(empty)_ | LDAP group → dashboard visibility tags. Keys follow the same convention as `GroupToRole` (short CN or full DN — leading-RDN match, case-insensitive); values are tag lists. A dashboard user's granted tag set is the union over the groups they belong to; an unmapped group contributes nothing. **Visibility only:** tags scope which sessions' event streams a Viewer may observe on the dashboard — they never grant or deny data access, which stays with the API key's scopes and constraints. Independent of `GroupToRole`: a group may appear in either map, both, or neither. Empty (the default) means Viewers hold no tags, so under the default `UntaggedSessionVisibility` they observe no session's events. |
| `MxGateway:Dashboard:UntaggedSessionVisibility` | `AdminOnly` | Who may observe a session that carries no tags (its owning API key declared none). `AdminOnly` (default, fail-closed) restricts untagged sessions to dashboard Administrators. `AllViewers` shows them to every Viewer — opt-in for a single-tenant deployment that wants the pre-tag behaviour. Administrators always see every session regardless of tags. |
