BNX DataHub is a complementary component offered by Blindside Networks alongside the free, open-source BNX plugin. Contact Blindside Networks for availability and licensing.
What problem it solves
Session and recording activity data lives inside Moodle and the BigBlueButton server, but institutions increasingly need that data elsewhere: institutional reporting warehouses, engagement dashboards, or custom automation. Building and maintaining a direct integration against Moodle internals for every downstream tool is fragile and duplicates effort across deployments. DataHub provides a single, clean, secure interface for accessing this data, so downstream tools don’t need to understand Moodle internals or the BigBlueButton API directly.Key capabilities
- Structured access to session data — exposes session metadata (schedule, participation, duration) in a consistent format for downstream consumption.
- Structured access to recording data — exposes recording metadata and availability so reporting and analytics tools can track recording activity across courses.
- Secure interface — designed so external tools integrate through a controlled access layer rather than querying Moodle or BigBlueButton internals directly.
- Built on the BNX sidecar architecture — installs alongside BNX and other sidecars without modifying Moodle core or the core BigBlueButton activity.
Common use cases
- Feeding session and recording activity into institutional reporting or business intelligence tools
- Powering custom engagement or usage dashboards outside Moodle
- Automating workflows that react to session or recording events (for example, notifying other systems when a recording becomes available)
