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. Most status changes create events that are posted to the event log, and can be displayed on dashboard panels alongside asset data.

Info

Email and SMS notifications can be triggered to anything posted to the event log based on user's preference on notification subscriptions.

Asset statuses can be affected by three things:

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