Setting up Informer Postgres Database as Datasource

NOTE: The information below is for Informer 5.1.2 or greater only

Download the following TGZ file to your hard drive:

Informer5--5.1.2OrLater.tgz

This file has all the information needed to create the Datasource, mappings, and sample Datasets.

Once downloaded, navigate to the Datasource page within Informer.

Simply drag and drop the downloaded tgz file onto this page:

You will then be presented with a dialog where you can enter the new Datasource information.

  1. Datasource Name - Can be anything, but Informer5 makes sense.
  2. Server and Port - You will need to get this information from whoever setup the Informer instance. There is a config.json file that will be on the server with this information, usually found in C:\Entrinsik\Informer5
  3. User and Password - You will need to get this information from whoever setup the Informer instance.
  4. Database - You must use Informer5

Then click Save and the Informer5 Datasource will be created along with all the mappings and nine sample Datasets.

To keep things organized, go to the Datasets page and find the nine Datasets just created, they will be found by looking for ones with the Datasource of "Informer5".

Create a new Folder called Informer_System and move these nine Datasets into it.

Job Status Dataset

There is not a Job Status sample Dataset, it is pretty easy to build your own, but here is a sample one.
