SDS

For SDS projects, provide the necessary details in the SDS panel. With the correct credentials, you should see data coming in in the windows of yout SDS project.

Other

If you skip the SDS project, the app will start streaming data to the following endpoint: '/simulator/data' as JSON. This can then be consumed by a front end tool capable of doing REST requests. Keep in mind that to use this, you will need to install mongodb on your local machine. (see above).

Every time you press the stop streaming button, the db will be flushed, to avoid taking up to much space when streaming regularly.
