GDX Server Development Roadmap

, 3 min read

GDX-Server is a centralized data exchange server for ProfDia/ProfDiaF/ExProg environments. It connects company locations through a modern REST API, enabling seamless project data flow across an entire organization.

Shape the Future of GDX Server

Active users with a valid GDX-Server license can take part in the development process. Pro and Enterprise subscribers can suggest new features and help prioritize what gets built next.

We are planning to provide access to a GTR Discord Server for active subscribers — a direct line to the development team at GTR.

Planned Features

Features are marked with one of three priority levels:

  • Next up — approaching active development
  • Planned — confirmed, not yet scheduled
  • Under consideration — likely but not committed

Basic — Included in All Tiers

Web Admin Panel Next up Replaces the separate Config Client. All server administration tasks available directly in the web UI.

Project Management Web Interface Planned Upload and download projects via browser.

Web Interface Localization Planned Multi-language support for the web interface.

Automatic License Renewal Planned Automatically applies follow-up licenses on subscription renewal.

Docker Deployment Planned Official Docker images for containerized deployment.

PostgreSQL Support Under consideration PostgreSQL as an additional supported database engine.

Pro / Enterprise

MDE Data Query Web Interface Planned Tabular query of machine data collection records with CSV export.

Statistical MDE Data Analysis Planned Server-side statistical evaluations of machine data — no local processing required.

Extended External authentication Planned Extend the existing 3rd party authentication against Active Directory, LDAP, or any REST-based system MDE Data Report Generation Under consideration Templated report generation for machine data analysis via TemplatePro.

Machine State Visualization Under consideration Dashboard showing states of known machines. Auto-discovery from time tracking entries with blacklist management for decommissioned machines.
