some sidecars missing from the dashboard

[aktxyz]

I have some scripts that help set things up for dev work, the scripts invoke daprd.exe directly (ie not via dapr.exe wrapper/helper proc). I had noticed for a while that some of my sidecars/apps don't show in the dashboard, and I just realized that daprd.exe instances started directly ... are the ones that don't show up.

I have always thought that dapr was a helpful tool to run the sidecar and app more easily ... but not something that was required to be used. The daprd process is the actual sidecar so is required.

Is there something in the dashboard that is dependent on things be started via dapr.exe ... so direct daprd instances are ignored?

We had this problem in the CLI recently. Updating the CLI version used in the dashboard might fix this.
