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

  1. 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.

    • 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.
