Data sources are the foundation of the platform: a pluggable provider architecture where each provider type knows how to talk to one kind of service and expose a curated catalog of metrics.
Highlights
- Many at once — run as many connections as you like, of as many types as you like, side by side.
- Read-only & fail-open — providers only read; a provider that errors degrades gracefully instead of breaking the console.
- Admin-enabled — each provider is turned on explicitly; credentials live in an encrypted, write-only secret.
- Extensible — new providers are discovered via a Joomla event, so the catalog grows without touching the core.
- Site-bound — connections can be scoped to a Site for clean multi-site separation.
