Connections

Ths panel lists the dashboard connections. Every widget can use a different connection and this is where you can add, edit, and remove connections.

Out of the box we supply the list of freely available Neo4j Labs databases. These are read-only and are meant to be used for testing and learning purposes:

• Movies
• Northwind
• Recommendations
• Fincen
• Twitter
• Stackoverflow
• Game of Thrones
• NeoFlix
• Wordnet
• Slack

All of these databases can be queries and explored via this Neo4j Browser.

Adding a connection

Click the Add button to add a new connection. You will be prompted for the following information:

• name: only used for display purposes
• host: the host of the database, typically localhost or an IP address
• port: the port of the database, typically 7687 for Neo4j
• username: the username to connect to the database, typically neo4j for Neo4j
• password: the password to connect to the database
• database: the name of the database to connect to, typically neo4j for Neo4j
• protocol: the protocol to use, typically bolt for Neo4j

You can test the connection via the button in the lower-right.

If you delete a connection, all widgets using that connection will display the error 'Error: Connection 'the name of the database' not found'

MemGraph

Memgraph is a high-performance, in-memory graph database that is fully compatible with the Cypher query language. You can download Memgraph from here.

To connect to (a local) MemGraph, you will need to provide the following information:

• name: only used for display purposes
• host: localhost
• port: 7687
• protocol: bolt

The remaining fields are not necessary. You can test the connection via the button in the lower-left.

Kuzu

Kuzu is an in-memory graph database that is fully compatible with the Cypher query language. You can download Kuzu from here.

Currently Kuzu does not support the bolt protocol and as an in-process database, Kuzu does not have a server component. As such, there is not an easy way to connect to this graph database.

We do offer a backend service (Python, NodeJs or .Net) allowing to connect to Kuzu indirectly. Please contact us for more information.

ArcadeDB

ArcadeDB is a multi-model graph database that is fully compatible with the Cypher query language. You can download ArcadeDB from here.

However, ArcadeDB does not support Neo4j’s Bolt protocol and this means you can’t use the integrated Neo4J driver with ArcadeDB server.
