# Obvius

> Obvius data source — split out from the Data Sources overview

<Info>
  **Status: Full setup.** Obvius dataloggers push data to Data Hub by configuring an upload URL directly on the logger's own web interface.
</Info>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Obvius logger interface">
    Sign in to the datalogger's web interface with its device credentials.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Go to Log File Data">
    From the logger's main menu, select **Log File Data**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Setup / Upload">
    Expand the **Setup / Upload** section for the channel you want to configure.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable an empty channel">
    Choose an unused channel and enable it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the upload URL">
    Enter your organization's Data Hub upload endpoint in the **Upload URL** field:

    ```text theme={null}
    http://<your-subdomain>.communityhub.cloud/data-hub/upload/obvius/
    ```

    <Note>
      This is `http://`, not `https://` — that's intentional, not a typo. Obvius loggers are mostly not set up to support TLS, so the upload endpoint for this source specifically accepts plain HTTP. Every other source uses `https://`.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Apply and notify the Data Hub team">
    Click **Apply** to save. Then send the Data Hub team the logger's serial number — this is required to assign the logger to your organization before it starts appearing in Data Hub.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Configuring variables once the logger is connected:**

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the logger's serial number">
    For Obvius devices, this is shown in the logger's **Status** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Locate the data source in Data Hub">
    Go to **Data Hub → Data Sources** and find the entry matching your logger's serial number.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the data source">
    Click it to view all variables reported by the logger.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure each variable">
    Click **Configure**, then **Edit** to set the variable's display name, resource type, and units, and click **Finish Editing** to save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add to Data Hub">
    Toggle **Add To Data Hub** on each variable you want visible on the Variables page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Never enter your Obvius device login credentials anywhere other than the logger's own interface. Data Hub never asks for or stores datalogger passwords.
</Warning>
