Visualizing and sharing wind farm data in SiteWise Monitor

This tutorial explains how to use Amazon IoT SiteWise Monitor to visualize and share industrial data through managed web applications, known as portals. Each portal encompasses projects, providing you with the flexibility to choose which data is accessible within each project. Then, specify people in your organization that can access each portal. Your users sign in to portals using Amazon IAM Identity Center accounts, so you can use your existing identity store or a store managed by Amazon.

Important

This tutorial describes how to use IAM Identity Center to authenticate portal users. IAM Identity Center isn't available in the China Regions. Instead, SiteWise Monitor portals use Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) to authenticate users. You can't follow the steps in this tutorial that interact with IAM Identity Center, but you can complete the tutorial with IAM identities.

You, and your users with sufficient permissions, can create dashboards in each project to visualize your industrial data in meaningful ways. Then, your users can view these dashboards to quickly gain insights into your data and monitor your operation. You can configure administrative or read-only permissions to each project for every user in your company. For more information, see Monitoring data with Amazon IoT SiteWise Monitor.

Throughout the tutorial, you enhance the Amazon IoT SiteWise demo, providing a sample dataset for a wind farm. You configure a portal in SiteWise Monitor, create a project, and dashboards to visualize the wind farm data. The tutorial also covers the creation of additional users, along with the assignment of permissions to own or view the project and its associated dashboards.

Note

When you use SiteWise Monitor, you're charged per user that signs in to a portal (per month). In this tutorial, you create three users, but you only need to sign in with one user. After you complete this tutorial, you incur charges for one user. For more information, see Amazon IoT SiteWise Pricing.

Topics

Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need the following:

  • An Amazon Web Services account. If you don't have one, see Setting up an Amazon Web Services account.

  • A development computer running Windows, macOS, Linux, or Unix to access the Amazon Web Services Management Console. For more information, see Getting Started with the Amazon Web Services Management Console.

  • An Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) user with administrator permissions.

  • A running Amazon IoT SiteWise wind farm demo. When you set up the demo, it defines models and assets in Amazon IoT SiteWise and streams data to them to represent a wind farm. For more information, see Using the Amazon IoT SiteWise demo.

  • If you enabled IAM Identity Center in your account, sign in to your Amazon Organizations management account. For more information, see Amazon Organizations terminology and concepts. If you haven't enabled IAM Identity Center, you will enable it in this tutorial and set your account as the management account.

    If you can't sign in to your Amazon Organizations management account, you can partially complete the tutorial as long as you have an IAM Identity Center user in your organization. In this case, you can create the portal and dashboards, but you can't create new IAM Identity Center users to assign to projects.
