Notes & Best Practices

Device Status Monitoring

  • Green indicators: Device is healthy and connected
  • Last connection timestamp: Should update regularly (every few seconds)
  • Alert status: Monitor for "Active" alerts requiring attention

CPU Usage Interpretation

  • Normal operation typically shows usage below 20%
  • Spikes may indicate firmware updates, configuration changes, or processing intensive tasks
  • Sustained high usage (>70%) requires investigation

Uptime Considerations

  • Recent uptime of 21+ hours indicates a device restart approximately one day ago
  • Check Combined Logs if uptime resets unexpectedly
  • Normal maintenance may require periodic restarts

Configuration Management

  • Always review changes before saving
  • Use "Save and close" for single device updates
  • Use "Save and add another" for batch device provisioning
  • Changes may require device reboot to take effect

Data Export

  • Use CSV export for creating reports or importing into analysis tools
  • 24-hour time window can be adjusted for longer historical views
  • Consider downloading diagnostics before major configuration changes
