Slack Dashboard (Part 2): Loading Into Postgres & Creating Charts
Blog post from Preset
This blog post, the second in a three-part series, guides readers through setting up a basic Slack dashboard using Meltano and Superset. It explains how to load Slack data into a PostgreSQL database using Meltano and then configure Superset to create visualizations from this data. The post provides instructions for installing the PostgreSQL loader, setting up a database, and configuring connection details via a .env file. Once the data is loaded into PostgreSQL, users can register the database with Superset and explore the data in SQL Lab. The post offers a step-by-step process for creating simple visualizations, such as Big Number charts and Tables, which illustrate user metrics and popular time zones, and includes instructions for finalizing the dashboard by adding the Slack logo through a custom Markdown component. The narrative emphasizes the ease of creating charts in Superset without coding and hints at more advanced visualizations and dashboard customizations to be covered in the next installment.
