Asset Statuses & Events

Asset Status are helpful andon-style indicators of an asset's health. They can be used to quickly allow a user to determine the health of assets across large fleets. Status changes are based on rules associated to signals in the data pipeline. These signal statuses roll-up to the Asset (see below for more details).

Status event creation and display of a status may be affected by the following:

  1. Signal Rules in the Asset Configuration data pipeline
  2. Timeout Properties in the Signal Configuration
  3. Manual Logs created by users

Asset statuses are visible in:

  • the Asset Fleet / Group / List views
  • Some Dashboard Panels that display assets
  • Map views of assets
  • Event logs

Info

Conditions, Email and SMS notifications, and Action functions are triggered by rule state change events, with the status level a part of the message.

Signal Timeout Indicates the specific signal is timed out.
Triggers:
A Timeout Rule on a signal
Overrides:
A new value written to the signal, causing the rule to not be in timeout.
#999
Dashboard Panels
Yes. Panels can use both the Signal's Timeout property and a Timeout Rule's status for showing timeout. Optionally you can choose to hide the signal's data and status if the signal has timed out. In some cases, the user can choose to display most recent data point while in the timeout state. In those instances, the data is shown along with a timeout icon, faded, and colored to reflect status (red/yellow/burgundy/green)
Asset Lists
No

Timeouts

See Timeout Rules for more details about timeout rules and their impact on visualization and notifications.

Displaying of statuses is optional on many dashboard panels.
