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
- Open logs for the relevant date range.
- Narrow results by location/device if needed.
- Review trends and outlier points.
- Validate whether anomalies are real or sensor-related.
- 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.
