Customers may have a use case for REST requests from dashboards of one project ("requesting-project") to access Insights APIs from another project ("allowing-project"), in order to visualize data from "allowing-project" in "requesting-project".

Prerequisites

For this to work as a responsible person for the target project ("allowing-project") submit a request to the Insights support, asking to allow one or more other Insights projects to access the APIs of your project ("allowing-project").

Example request:

Please whitelist project 'requesting-project' to access the Insights APIs provided by our project 'allowing-project'.

Note that a user of project "requesting-project" will only be able to request data from the target project "allowing-project" if the user has the required role to access the underlying API from project "allowing-project" (Keycloak access token for the current user session is forwarded).

Limitations

Custom domains as target URL are not supported.

Basic steps

In your project ("requesting-project") configure a dashboard with a widget that allows to configure an external data source. As external data source set the URL of the API of another Insights project ("allowing-project"), which has whitelisted your project.

For example, this can be data provided by the query service API using a query template :

https://bosch-iot-insights.com/mongodb-query-service/v2/allowing-project/query-templates/685ab724a4d0b159d0aa68ea/execute-query      

Users of your project "requesting-project" can see the data provided that they have the required role to access the underlying API from target project "allowing-project".

Example use cases

Visualize processed data of another Insights project provided by the MongoDB query service.
Visualize device data of another Insights project provided by the Device Management API.
Widget with an action button that forwards data from project "requesting-project" to the data recorder endpoint of target project "allowing-project".
