Can we fetch real time data in FlexDashboard

I have a static dataset that captures performance of machines like pumps, turbines etc... But this is not real time. I have built the flexdashboard using this statis dataset. But can we fetch real time data of the performance of pumps, turbines etc ? So that we can track the numbers daily and monitor it

It doesn't sound like it's really a matter of what flexdashboard can do, it's more of question of how you link the data to your flexdashboard. If you're collecting data into files, then periodically making those files available to your webserver, that isn't very live. But the more you automate that, the more live it can be. If you can get data every few seconds, you can use reactive polling:

to update plots, etc. on your dashboard.
