Using Superset

To use Superset, first follow the steps in the Python setup documentation.

Superset is an open-source business intelligence and data analytics platform that provides numerous statistical and visualization tools. You can configure Superset to use Datomic as a data source via the included Presto connector.

Installing Superset

  • Use the venv created previously. Start the virtual environment using the directory created when making the venv (my-python-env):
. venv/bin/activate

pip install superset
  • Once installed, launch Superset with:
superset run -p 8080 --with-threads --reload --debugger
  • Use Ctrl-C to stop the Superset server.

It is only necessary to run these steps the first time you install Superset.

  • To run it again in the future, return to the my-python-env directory and run:
. venv/bin/activate
superset run -p 8080 --with-threads --reload --debugger
  • Once Superset is running, you can find it at localhost:8080 in a web browser.

Using Superset with Datomic Analytics

  • In the Superset menu bar, click "Sources" and then "Databases".
  • Click the + button to add a new database.
  • Choose a name for the DB and enter it in the name field.
  • In the SQL Alchemy URI field add the DB URI for the Datomic Analytics system by running the command below. Substitute host, port, catalog, and schema:
presto://<host>:<port>/<catalog>/<schema>
  • To test the connection, click "Test".
  • Check the "Expose in SQL lab" option.
  • If desired, configure the remaining options.
  • To create the data source, click "Save".
