Refresh AWS Quicksight automatically [closed]

Question

I do not want a scheduled refresh which according the documentation is daily, weekly, monthly. I want to refresh whenever I want, but without going on Quicksight and manually pressing refresh.

Wondering if it's possible to automatically refresh through a script whenever new data is loaded into a database and sent to Quicksight. Scenario: Quicksight is refreshed with new data possibly every couple of minutes or hours throughout the day.

Answer 1

Currently quicksight doesn’t facilitate custom data refresh periods. But you can find hourly refresh option in enterprise edition.

For Standard or Enterprise editions, you can choose Daily, Weekly, or Monthly. Daily: Repeats every day Weekly: Repeats on the same day of each week Monthly: Repeats on the same day of each month. To refresh data on the 29th, 30th or 31st day of the month, choose Last day of month from the list.

• For Enterprise edition alone, you can choose Hourly. This setting refreshes your data set every hour, beginning at the time you choose. So, if you select 1:05 as the starting time, the next refresh happens at 2:05
• If you decide to use an hourly refresh, you can't also use additional refresh schedules. To create an hourly schedule, you must remove any other existing schedules for that data set; and you must remove any existing hourly schedule before you can create a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule.
• Starting: Choose a date for the refresh to start.
• At: Specify the time when the refresh should start. Use HH:MM and 24-hour format, for example 13:30.
• Choose create
