We are no longer maintaining this microservice. Use instead our new microservice datasource-v2 for data extraction from factoryinsight.

The umh datasource is a Grafana 8.X compatible plugin, that allows you to fetch resources from a database and build queries for your dashboard.

How it works

When creating a new panel, select umh-datasource from the Data source drop-down menu. It will then fetch the resources from the database. The loading time may depend on your internet speed.
Select your query parameters Location, Asset and Value to build your query.

In Grafana, navigate to the Data sources configuration panel.
Select umh-datasource to configure it.
Configurations:
- Base URL: the URL for the factoryinsight backend. Defaults to http://united-manufacturing-hub-factoryinsight-service/.
- Enterprise name: previously customerID for the old datasource plugin. Defaults to factoryinsight.
- API Key: authenticates the API calls to factoryinsight. Can be found with UMHLens by going to Secrets → factoryinsight-secret → apiKey. It should follow the format Basic xxxxxxxx.
