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 network router metrics, package operations, and data transfer measurements
  • 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

UI Elements

Main Data Table

The central table displays metric logs with the following columns:

  • Transaction date/time: Timestamp of when the metric was recorded (Jan 02, 2024 format)
  • Element: Device or sensor identifier (including Nokia SR-OS routers, Ubuntu Linux servers, and cloud service instances)
  • Origin: Source of the data collection (Scheduler)
  • Location: Physical or logical location of the device (Bare Metal, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud)
  • Metric/Parameter: Type of data being measured (Rx Bytes, Tx Bytes, Rx Error Bytes, Tx Error Bytes, package operations like "Pending upgrades")
  • Result: Actual metric values in bytes or counts (ranging from 0.0 GB to specific byte measurements)
  • Organization: Associated organization (izi, FTTH, Zequenze)

Filter Panel (Right Sidebar)

  • Active Filters: Shows currently applied filters with "Proceed" status
  • Date/Time Filter: "Last hour" dropdown selection

Data Displayed

Metric Types

  • Rx Bytes: Received data volume measurements
  • Tx Bytes: Transmitted data volume measurements
  • Rx Error Bytes: Error data reception measurements
  • Tx Error Bytes: Error data transmission measurements
  • Nokia SR-OS Network Metrics: Router and network infrastructure measurements
  • Package Operations: Software package management metrics including pending upgrades

Cloud Service Integration

The system tracks metrics from multiple cloud providers:

  • Amazon Web Services: Package management and system operations
  • Google Cloud: Infrastructure and application metrics
  • Ubuntu Linux servers: System-level package management across different virtual machines

Data Volumes

The system tracks data ranging from:

  • 0.0 GB: Minimal or no data transfer
  • Specific byte measurements: Precise data transfer amounts (6,600.53 GB shown in examples)
  • Package status tracking: Operations like pending upgrades

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, 2024 are displayed with times ranging throughout the early morning hours (01:34-01:35 timeframe)

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
  • Analyze Trends: Compare historical data across different time periods
  • Troubleshoot Issues: Identify anomalies or errors in data transmission
  • Track Package Management: Monitor software installation, removal, and upgrade activities across cloud infrastructure

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 GB 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
  • Package Operations: Monitor for failed installations or pending upgrades that may require attention

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 both transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) error metrics to identify directional communication issues
  • Track package management operations to ensure system security and compliance across cloud infrastructure
