How it works
Your databases stay in your network
You install the Data Gateway on a Windows computer in your network that can reach your databases. It consists of an app, in which you define your data sources, and a Windows service that runs the queries. Your dashboards use the data without the database being reachable from the internet.
End-to-end encrypted
Queries and results travel encrypted between the gateway and smartlife BI.
Stored only on your computer
Data sources and database credentials are kept on the gateway computer, encrypted so that only the gateway service can read them.
Read-only
A data source is a single query built with the query builder. smartlife BI can only ask the gateway to run a data source you created; it cannot send its own queries.
Under your control
You can block a gateway at any time in your smartlife BI account – it disconnects at once.
Supported data providers
Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, Amazon Redshift, MySQL and MariaDB, Oracle, Firebird, Teradata, Google BigQuery, SQLite, Microsoft Access, XML files and a custom connection string.
System requirements
What the gateway computer needs
The setup installs the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime and the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime if they are missing.
64-bit Windows (x64)
A Windows computer in your network that is switched on whenever dashboards need its data.
Administrator rights
To install the gateway and to run the app.
Outbound HTTPS (port 443)
Access to the internet over port 443. No inbound port is needed.
Access to your data
Network access from this computer to your databases or files, and a smartlife BI account to register the gateway with.
Installation
Install and register in four steps
-
Step 1: Download and check
Download the latest version above and compare its SHA-256 checksum with the one shown there, for example with Get-FileHash in PowerShell.
-
Step 2: Run the setup
Confirm the administrator prompt. The setup installs the app and the Windows service smartlife BI Gateway, which starts automatically with Windows.
-
Step 3: Register the gateway
In the app, go to Settings, click Register this gateway under Gateway service and sign in with your smartlife BI account.
-
Step 4: Create and publish data sources
Create a data source in the app and switch on your smartlife BI sites under Settings: the gateway publishes your data sources there for your dashboards.
