Difference between Platform Grafana and a self-managed Grafana instance.
ENLYZE offers two ways to use Grafana with your production data: Platform Grafana (hosted by ENLYZE) or your own Grafana instance (self-managed).
Platform Grafana is the Grafana instance hosted by ENLYZE. It is fully set up and connected to your production data.
No installation or configuration needed
The ENLYZE Grafana Plugin and the ENLYZE API are already set up as data sources
Automatic updates and maintenance by ENLYZE
Ready to use immediately after provisioning
You can reach your Platform Grafana instance via the URL provided by ENLYZE. If you do not have access yet, contact your ENLYZE representative.
If you already run your own Grafana instance, you can also connect it to ENLYZE. Two data sources are available for this:
ENLYZE Grafana Plugin for time series data (machine parameters)
Infinity Plugin for connecting to the ENLYZE API (OEE, downtimes, production runs)
A running Grafana instance (version 9.0 or higher recommended)
Network access to https://app.enlyze.com
An ENLYZE API token (available from your ENLYZE representative)
Setting up the data sources in your own Grafana instance is described in detail on the ENLYZE data source page.
