 If dashboard is installed by `--set dashboard.enabled=true`, checkout the argo-rollouts dashboard by
 `kubectl port-forward service/argo-rollouts-dashboard 31000:3100` and pointing the browser to `localhost:31000`

+|:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| The chart provides an option to change the service type (`dashboard.service.type`). Dashboard was never intended to be exposed as an administrative console -- it started out as a local view available via CLI. It should be protected by something (e.g. network access or even better an oauth proxy). |
