Overview

Datasources are the components that securely connect your instance with the tools where your data is. This data is collected thanks to the integrations provided by the app (see Dashboard Integrations for further information). The default datasource is the instance where the app is installed, which needs no configuration.

Datasources and gadgets

Each gadget uses a datasource, and several gadgets can share the same datasource. Initially, when you configure your first gadget in a dashboard, you can opt for having all the compatible gadgets automatically configured with that datasource. Imagine that in your dashboard there are four gadgets that uses Bitbucket as datasource, when you configure the first one, the rest are also configured with that datasource. Not to mention that you can edit that configuration at anytime.

Access restrictions in datasources

Datasources fetch and display information from external products, which sometimes you may want to keep for yourself. In this case, you can configure access restrictions and avoid anyone else from using your datasources. You’ll find the following options to set up access restrictions:

  • My organization. Any logged in user in your instance can use the datasource.

  • Private. Only the creator of the datasource can use it.

This restriction can be set when you create the datasource, or accessing through the lock menu. It’s indicated with an unlock icon if “My organization” is selected and with a lock icon if “Private” is selected.
