Probe Logs

Probe Logs

Purpose

This page is used to review temperature readings and event history from probes so teams can verify conditions and investigate anomalies.

Prerequisites

  • Probes/devices must be active and reporting data.
  • Devices should be assigned to valid locations.
  • Users need permission to view telemetry or logs.

Main Actions

  • View recent and historical probe readings.
  • Filter by time range, location, or device.
  • Identify spikes, dropouts, or unusual patterns.
  • Use log context to support follow-up actions.

Field/Status Reference

  • Reading Value: Captured temperature at a specific time.
  • Recorded At: Timestamp of the reading.
  • Device/Probe: Source hardware for the data point.
  • Location: Physical area where the device is assigned.
  • Signal/Health Indicators: Availability or reliability context for data quality.

Workflow

  1. Open logs for the relevant date range.
  2. Narrow results by location/device if needed.
  3. Review trends and outlier points.
  4. Validate whether anomalies are real or sensor-related.
  5. Escalate to alerts or corrective action when required.

Connections

  • Supports decision-making in Alerts and Corrective Actions.
  • Depends on proper setup in Devices and Locations.
  • Feeds incident reviews where detailed timelines are required.

Common Mistakes

  • Reviewing too broad a date range and missing local patterns.
  • Ignoring location context when comparing readings.
  • Assuming missing data is safe data.

Troubleshooting

  • If logs are empty, confirm the device is online and assigned.
  • If readings seem wrong, verify calibration and recent maintenance.
  • If timestamps look inconsistent, check timezone and sync status.

Quick Tips

  • Start with a short timeframe, then expand only if needed.
  • Compare multiple probes in the same area to confirm anomalies.
  • Keep notes on suspected sensor faults for maintenance follow-up.
