Configuring data-sources

A data-source is a conceptual representation of a graph database within Linkurious Enterprise. Visualizations and other user data created within Linkurious Enterprise will be associated their respective data-source.

Every data-source is uniquely identified with a sourceKey, a string computed when Linkurious Enterprise connects to the database for the first time, based on internal information from the data-source and saved in the configuration file. Editing or removing the sourceKey of an existing configuration is strongly discouraged and may lead to unexpected behaviours.

By default, Linkurious Enterprise is configured to connect to a Neo4j database at 127.0.0.1:7474.

Supported vendors

Linkurious Enterprise can connect to some of the the most popular graph databases:

Multi-database support

Linkurious Enterprise is able to connect to several graph databases at the same time and lets you switch from one database to another seamlessly.

Edit the data-source configuration

You can configure your data-sources via the Web user interface or directly on the linkurious/data/config/production.json file.

Using the Web user interface

Using an administrator account, access the Admin > Data menu to edit the current data-source configuration:
