Overview

The Metric Logs page in the Zequenze Control Portal provides a comprehensive view of all metric data collected from various devices and sensors in your fleet. This centralized logging system displays real-time and historical metric information, allowing administrators to monitor system performance, track data collection activities, and troubleshoot connectivity issues across their IoT infrastructure.

Key Features

• Real-time Metric Monitoring: View live data streams from connected devices and sensors
• Historical Data Access: Browse through timestamped metric logs with detailed filtering options
• Multi-parameter Tracking: Monitor various data types including VyOS Innovation metrics, Bytes data, and Error Bytes
• Advanced Filtering: Filter logs by date/time, element, location, profile, and other parameters
• Data Export Capabilities: Export metric data for external analysis and reporting
• Pagination Support: Navigate through large datasets efficiently with pagination controls

Data Displayed

Metric Types

• Rx Bytes: Received data volume measurements
• Tx Bytes: Transmitted data volume measurements
• Tx Error Bytes: Error data transmission measurements
• Pending upgrades: System upgrade status metrics
• VyOS Innovation [WAG]: Specific router/gateway metrics

Data Volumes

The system tracks data ranging from:

• 0.0 Bytes: Minimal or no data transfer
• Multi-terabyte volumes: High-capacity data transfers (17+ TB shown in examples)
• 1.0: Status indicators for pending operations

Temporal Data

• All entries are timestamped with precise date and time information
• Data spans multiple time periods for historical analysis
• Recent entries from January 2, 2026 are prominently displayed with times ranging from early morning hours (01:35 AM) to early afternoon (01:42 AM)

Actions Available

Primary Actions

• Filter Metrics: Apply various filters to narrow down displayed data
• Export Data: Download metric information for external use
• Generate Reports: Create formatted reports from selected metrics
• Search Records: Use the search function to find specific entries
• Paginate Results: Navigate through large datasets using page controls

Administrative Actions

• Monitor Real-time Data: View live metric updates as they occur

Notes/Tips

Performance Optimization

• Use specific filters to reduce large dataset load times
• Consider exporting data for complex analysis rather than processing in-browser
• The default "Last hour" filter helps focus on recent activity

Data Interpretation

• 0.0 Bytes Results: May indicate device connectivity issues or scheduled downtime
• Large Data Volumes: High byte counts may suggest heavy usage or potential data anomalies
• Error Bytes: Non-zero error bytes warrant investigation for network or device issues
• Pending upgrades: Values of 1.0 indicate systems queued for updates

Best Practices

• Regularly monitor error metrics to maintain system health
• Use the organization filter when managing multi-tenant environments
• Export historical data periodically for long-term trend analysis and compliance reporting
• Monitor pending upgrade metrics to track system maintenance activities
