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 (displays Ubuntu Linux server, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Bare Metal, andshows VyOS Innovation elements)[VWAG] network devices)
  • Origin: Source of the data collection (Scheduler)
  • Location: Physical or logical location of the device (Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Bare Metal)
  • Metric/Parameter: Type of data being measured (includes package operations like "ignored packages", "Removed packages", "Installed packages", "Upgraded packages", "Pending upgrades", as well as network metrics like "Rx Bytes", "Tx Bytes", "Rx Error Bytes", "Tx Error Bytes")
  • Result: Actual metric values showing byte measurements or package counts
  • Organization: Associated organization (Zequenze, izi)

Filter Panel (Right Sidebar)

The filter panel has been repositioned and restructured with the following elements:

  • Active Filters: Shows currently applied filters with "Proceed" status indicator at the top

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

Device Integration

The system tracks metrics from multiple infrastructure platforms including:

    Ubuntu Linux servers: Running on Google Cloud and Amazon Web Services VyOS Innovation Network devices: Router and[VWAG] network infrastructuredevices, measurementsprimarily deployed across various environments Multi-cloud Infrastructure: Spanning Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, andon Bare Metal deploymentsinfrastructure with various metric measurements across different time intervals.

    Data Volumes

    The system tracks data ranging from:

    • 0.0 Bytes: Minimal or no data transfer
    • Large byte measurements: Including entries like 17,255,045,333.256,324,492.0 BytesBytes, 17,120,846,335.0 Bytes, 17,256,047,823.0 Bytes, 17,120,578,763.0 Bytes, and 17,119,579,535.255,785,619.0 Bytes

    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 from early morning hours (04:2205:07 to 04:4657 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

    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
    • Package Operations: Monitor pending upgrades and installation activities across your fleet

    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
