Announcement: Replacing the innius Dashboards app
Summary
To enable new functionality the innius® Dashboards app is being replaced by Grafana dashboards. Together with innius Support staff, your existing dashboards can be migrated to the new platform. This only affects your dashboards, everything else within innius will be unaffected.
What is happening and why?
Originally dashboards were hosted in the innius Dashboard app, which is a standalone version of Grafana. Whilst this has worked well, it has limited functionality compared to the Grafana platform which specialises in dashboarding solutions. Migrating dashboards to Grafana offers the following advantages:
- Access to a library of multiple panels, such as a video panel.
- Access to multiple data plug-ins; making other data sources accessible via dashboards. This allows you to combine real time machine data with data from other sources such as ERP, MMS or other databases.
- Automatically update to always be on the latest version of Grafana.
- The option to run Grafana on-premises.
- Full access to the powerful features of Grafana like templating, alerting, video panels etc.
How will it work?
Once you’ve agreed when to migrate your dashboards with your Innius B.V. contact person, our Support team can follow the step-by-step migration procedure with you. Based on the successful migrations we’ve already conducted with other customers this should take less than an hour.
For up to 3 user accounts, you can create a Grafana account for free. For more than 3 users, different Grafana pricing plans are available depending on your requirements.
The existing innius Dashboards app will then be phased out at the end of September 2023. The innius Dashboards button will then disappear from the app switcher menu as your dashboards will then be accessed via Grafana, not innius. The rest of the innius apps will remain unaffected by these changes.
What do you need to do?
If you have already migrated dashboards to Grafana, you don’t need to do anything.
If you have not migrated dashboards to Grafana, contact Innius to arrange when this can take place. Decide which dashboards will be migrated and how they will be displayed. If they are being displayed on a Smart TV screen, then you’ll need to check that the browser works with Grafana. Otherwise, a laptop or mini-PC stick can be used together with the screen.
