What can I do with this integration?

You can pull in data from multiple tables/databases as data sources on Onvo to build your dashboards and reports. Any datasource using the MySQL integration will be kept in sync with the underlying data to keep your dashboards live.

You can create beautiful, interactive dashboards using your MySQL data. Just ask for the kind of visualisation you want in natural language to create a widget on the dashboard. You can also ask for data pre-processing before visualisation. We also allow for questions in natural language to your data on MySQL.

Once you are happy with your dashboard, you can integrate them into your products with the SDK.

Security considerations

It is recommended to setup a separate user on yourMySQL system with just read access to the data you require for your dashboard. In addition, if possible, restrict the incoming IP addresses to the database.

If you do restrict access by IP addresses, make sure to whitelist 35.209.78.5 for Onvo AI to access your data.
