The link in the “Download” button is for Sisense on Linux. Download Windows version (1.0.3) from here.
The Analyze with Insight Miner add-on enables you to uncover hidden insights with the power of machine learning in a click, regardless of your Sisense user role. This add-on adds an option to grab insights about your data from the widget’s menu inside your dashboard. After you select what data you want to grab insights for, Sisense displays a new window where natural language insights are displayed. The insights you see are displayed in natural language and are discovered using Sisense’s Insight Miner.
Once you get your insights, you can continue to dive deeper and retrieve more insights, or share the insights you already have.
The Analyze with Insight Miner add-on makes it easier to understand your data and share it with anyone.
Prerequisites
The Analyze with Insight Miner add-on downloads the widget’s data and sends it to the Sisense Cloud, where the server analyzes the data. To use this add-on, you will need access to this server: [https://insights.sisense.com/] Can check with -{{telnet insights.sisense.com 443}}.
To obtain access to the server, contact your Sisense customer support representative, or contact Sisense Support: https://www.sisense.com/support/.

- If you uploaded the add-on with a File Management UI to a multi-node (HA) environment, the uploaded folder is accessible only from the management pod. This folder has to be copied to the node using this command: kubectl cp -n sisense management-xxx-xxx:/path/to/addon/Sisense.{addon-name}.{version} ./addons/Sisense.{addon-name}.{version}
- navigate to the ‘scripts’ folder inside the extracted folder example: cd /opt/sisense/storage/Sisense.{addon-name}.{version}/scripts
- Run script with one of the keys described below in the Script Flags Description chapter.
- For first time installation use -i flag.
- For upgrade installed add-on use -u flag.
- All needed pods will be restarted automatically. This may take a few minutes.
- Refresh your dashboard.

Added support for custom email server configuration in Sisense (Linux). New configuration parameter “useCustomEmailServer” is introduced. The default value is FALSE. If set to TRUE, the add-on will use a custom email server from Sisense settings instead of the default SMTP service. This will allow to white-label the email sender instead of having the default “[email protected]”

Fixed the issue with the custom globalization. When the globalization was missing for the user, UI was not translated correctly.
