Dashboard links generated incorrectly

I'm managing my hub through its static dhcp address. working fine. but when i load Dashboard, all of the dashboards link to http://169.254.9.63

in the source, i do see:

var localIp = "169.254.9.63"

I think this is because the hub booted before my dhcp server and/or switch was online. it probably generated the dashboard page while the ip address was in the 169.254.0.0/16 link-local.

is there a solution besides rebooting the hub? any secret 'regenerate' button?

if that's the problem, maybe something can detect that it's in 169.254 and fork off a task to retry later. or use hooks (if the hub uses dhclient)

I've had the exact same scenario happen to my hub on many occasions. I have sent an email to support outlining the issue and have been told it's been referred to the engineering team, but no update since.

As you've found, the only way I have found to fix it is to perform a reboot of the hub.
