Backend

Description of what is a backend.

For each database where data should be written or read one backend must be defined. A backend is specific to a certain database type (e.g. InfluxDB®, PostgreSQL®, etc.). Several backends of the same type can be used (for writing/reading data into/from different database instances of the same DB type).

Each backend configuration is saved in an internal data point called _NGA_B_<backend name> of data point type _NGA_Backend. A data point of this type exists for each backend.

To change the values, open the Database Engineering panel via System Management > Database > Database Engineering

For details, see the subchapter Configuration -> Backend.
