The following Providers can be used to acquire live data from:

• Manual: You can specify the key/value pairs manually.

• Kafka: Provides data from a configured Apache Kafka broker.

• Rest Webserver: Fetches data from a generic REST-based webserver.

• Fluid Data Services: Provides live and telemetry as offered by the Fluid Data Services data provider.

• Stats Perform: Provides live and statistical data as offered by the Stats Perform data provider.

Depending on the Provider chosen, the configuration of each Dataset differs.
