Data sources

data sourcesplex plugin

Plex plugin

The Plex plugin indexes your Plex server and libraries, and includes data streams for retrieving media stats.

Configuring the data source

  1. Display name:
    Enter a name for your data source. This helps you to identify this data source in the list of your data sources.

  2. Hostname / IP:
    Enter the public hostname or IP address of your Plex server.
  3. Port:
    Enter your Plex Home's server port. Defaults to 34200 if left empty.
  4. Use HTTPS:
    Select if you want to connect using HTTPS.
  5. Username:
    Enter your Plex Home username.
  6. Password:
    Enter the password of the Username you entered.
  7. (Optional) Restrict access to this data source:
    You can enable this option if you only want certain users or groups to have access to the data source, or the permission to link it to new workspaces. See data source access control for more information.

  8. Click Test and add to validate the data source configuration. SquaredUp will now attempt to connect to SquaredUp using the provided authentication method.

    • Testing passed – a success message will be displayed and then the configuration will be saved.
    • Testing passed with warnings – warnings will be listed and potential fixes suggested. You can still use the data source with warnings. Select Save with warnings if you believe that you can still use the data source as required with the warnings listed. Alternatively, address the issues listed and then select Rerun tests to validate the data source configuration again. If the validation now passes, click Save.
    • Testing Failed – errors will be listed and potential fixes suggested. You cannot use the data source with errors. You are able to select Save with errors if you believe that a system outside of SquaredUp is causing the error that you need to fix. Alternatively, address the issues listed and then select Rerun tests to validate the data source configuration again. If the validation now passes, click Save.

    You can edit any data source configurations at any time from Settings > Data Sources.
