Overview

Widgets aggregate information held within real-time digital twin instances and display that information in the ScaleOut Digital Twins™ dashboard. Some users may wish to export this data into additional analytics dashboards for real-time visualization.

Using the service’s UI, users can deploy exports which continuously deliver the output from widgets to analytics dashboards, such as Microsoft’s Power BI. Specific widgets can then be configured to use one or more deployed exports. Output values computed by a widget are refreshed and sent by its exports approximately every five seconds.

Exports are implemented in a scalable manner with multiple export services running on a cluster of servers in the execution platform. This maximizes overall throughput and minimizes latency.

The following sections describe the currently available exports and the parameters they require. Many of these parameters are unique to their respective platforms. This documentation assumes a working knowledge of each platform’s parameters and usage.
