![]() ![]() Tired of manual updates? It’s easy to upgrade to a hosted plan. ![]() If you’re self-hosting, you (or your administrator) can update to the latest version by following the instructions here. If you’re hosted on Metabase Cloud, you’ll be getting these new features automatically throughout the coming week. The release also includes a new main navigation, redesigned collections, and a lot of other cleanup work and quality-of-life improvements. Some require AWS, other's can be imported and hosted on premise with various tools and databases.Metabase v0.42 brings models - a whole new way to make exploring data easy for everyone. LEDbelly - Live Events Daemon for Canvas LMS - SQS to SQL.Ĭanvas Data on the other hand, has more options. I've been working on and using a solution that gets events into SQL, instead of using AWS. Getting Live Events into Excel will probably pose some technical difficulties as the data isn't structured that way. The document How do I subscribe to Live Events in the Canvas Data Portal? is useful, but also consider that data portal is being deprecated, posted here Live Events Services - Table of Contents (about half way down) and a new one is available for testing in Beta, Data Services : Data Streaming Form There are some good Live Events resources listed here Awesome CanvasLMS #CanvasLiveEventsĪ good start is How do I create an SQS queue to receive Live Events data from Canvas? including the comments where I outline some of the costs of AWS/SQS #comment-135849. Canvas Data is a warehouse/export of data files from Canvas, while Live Events are real time messages of Canvas user activity. Note that Live Events is a different from Canvas Data. Is anyone else using something other than tableau? I would love to hear your experiences. It's what works for me and may not work for everyone. I see a lot of Tableau posts and decided to show another option. To Recap: Both are self-hosted in our VM cluster. Here's a screenshot of one dashboard I made. The other software I tried was just complicated and bloated with features not familiar or useful to me. I'd image other software can do this too. The dean can click the link 6 months from now and see the updated list. ![]() You can do CSVs and PDFs, but the dashboard is dynamic. I made the SQL, created a dashboard, shared the dashboard, and sent the link. I had a Dean recently request a list of LTIs being used for a particular course, over time. I click the share button and a public link is given. What I do like is the ability to share the dashboards publicly (relative firewalls and such). Things like getting the word "iPhone" from the user agent. I had to use SQL to replicate that functionality. Hopefully, they improve that! Oh, the one feature I see a lot in the Tableau report is the calculated fields. It lacks the functionality of doing joins which means you need to write your own SQL most of the time. The one downside is I find myself writing more SQL rather than leveraging their query builder system. Tableau is more powerful, but also more complicated. Unhappy with those options, I discovered Metabase. I tried several: Knime, Superset, Knowage, and even tried building my own with Django. We don't have Tableau and based on our current usage, the price was too much. The second step was the most difficult finding a front end. HINT: I used the CanvasDataCLI to do this, with some. I created some bat files to add 3 additional months to the requests table. The request table was kinda small for my liking. Thank you, Bill and Andrew, for creating such a wonderful project. It costs too much for our little university. ![]() I want to take this time to share how we use Canvas Data.įirst, we do not have a subscription for Redshift. ![]()
