why is it not possible to open multiple dashboard from same browser?

[kitex]

When I open many dashboard 6 and then 7th just freezes without data and 8th says waiting for webshocket. Why can't I open more dashbaords?

I answered this without being sure in #415 - this has prompted me to do some research. You can't open more because of browser limitations on simultaneous connections per hostname. Each Dashboard uses one persistent EventSource connection.

Thanks Nice!

This issue can probably be closed after @tylermauthe comment. Perhaps the documentation could include something about this issue under some section about known issues or so.

For firefox the solution is to set the value of network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server higher in about:config.
