Customizing the UI

Customizing DAG UI Header and Airflow Page Titles

Airflow now allows you to customize the DAG home page header and page title. This will help distinguish between various installations of Airflow or simply amend the page text.

Note

The custom title will be applied to both the page header and the page title.

To make this change, simply:

  1. Add the configuration option of instance_name under the [webserver] section inside airflow.cfg:

[webserver]

instance_name = "DevEnv"

  1. Alternatively, you can set a custom title using the environment variable:

AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__INSTANCE_NAME = "DevEnv"

Note

From version 2.3.0 you can include markup in instance_name variable for further customization. To enable, set instance_name_has_markup under the [webserver] section inside airflow.cfg to True.
