Hi @AshishKapoor,

Thumbnails need cache and celery workers, take a look at: https://apache-superset.readthedocs.io/en/0.36/installation.html#celery-tasks

Also on celery use: CELERY_IMPORTS = ("superset.sql_lab", "superset.tasks.thumbnails")

@dpgaspar Okay, I'll do that.

Thanks. 🙏

Hi @dpgaspar

I'm getting this with celery worker.

What am I missing now?

[AshishKapoor]

Got the thumbnail in Cache. Now how to retrieve it in the superset frontend client?

[dpgaspar]

Cool! Do a get request to /api/v1/dashboard/ on the result key you'll get an attr key named thumbnail_url use that URL to get your thumbnail
