Database Reference
In-Depth Information
In the process of building the sample application, we were frequently
reminded that interesting data is often sensitive data. Whenever a large
amount of detailed information is collected, it must be carefully managed.
We have ensured that the top-level dashboard, shown in
Figure 8.3
,
contains only aggregated data and that only the owners of devices have
access to device level dashboards. Also, the datasets containing the logs are
not publicly shared because it is hard to predict what kind of information
can be extracted by running queries. We encourage you to deploy your own
instance of the application if you want to try it in depth.

Dashboard
Now that you have some idea of what the application does, you can peel back
the covers and see how the individual components are put together. The
next few sections are organized to roughly correspond with the description
of the parts given in this section. Other than a few points of integration, the
individual pieces are fairly independent, so you can focus on the ones that
are most interesting to you.
