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)

  • 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, Pending upgrades)
  • Result: Actual metric values in bytes (ranging from 0.0 Bytes to larger measurements like 17,252,237,012.0 Bytes)
  • Organization: Associated organization (izi, Zequenze)

Filter Panel (Right Sidebar)

  • Active Filters: Shows currently applied filters with "Proceed" status

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
  • Pending upgrades: System upgrade status monitoring
  • VyOS Innovation Network Metrics: Router and network infrastructure measurements from VyOS Innovation routers

Device Integration

The system tracks metrics from VyOS Innovation network devices deployed across multiple environments including Bare Metal, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud, monitoring network traffic, error patterns, and system upgrade status across the infrastructure.

Data Volumes

The system tracks data ranging from:

  • 0.0 Bytes: Minimal or no data transfer
  • Specific byte measurements: Precise data transfer amounts (examples include 17,252,237,012.0 Bytes, 17,116,770,509.0 Bytes, 17,252,144,536.0 Bytes, and 17,116,661,509.0 Bytes)
  • 9.0: Non-byte metrics for system status indicators

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 (primarily 03:21-03:42 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 System Upgrades: Monitor pending upgrade status across cloud environments

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: Monitor upgrade status across different cloud environments

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 pending upgrades to ensure system maintenance schedules are followed
