Before looking into connecting MVI with other tools we recommend you to have a look at the Monitoring Your Service section.

Connecting MVI with Other Tools

MultiViz Explorer

MultiViz Explorer, is a very powerful tool for data exploration and it is part of the MultiViz family. The connection between MultiViz Explorer and MultiViz Integrator is very simple.

With this connection, you can subscribe to time-series data of your monitored variables. This connection is handled by a separate and independent service, called mv_connector, which needs to be deployed besides your already deployed services. The easiest way to deploy the mv_connector service is to run:

>>> mvi deploy mv_connector 1.0.0 -g https://github.com/vikinganalytics/mvi-mvx-connector 

For the mv_connector service a few mvi parameters need to be set:

• multiviz_api_url : URL to the API of running multiviz instance.

• multiviz_token : Access token for MultiViz.

• project_id : The ID of the project in MV to which the data files should be uploaded into.

• service : The name of the MVI service to fetch time-series data from.

• version : The version of the MVI service to fetch time-series data from.

You can read about how to change the values of mvi paramters in the Defining parameters section.
