Read Time
A dashboard item that charts how long each device takes to answer a read, slowest first, against a slow line, leaving out devices not reading.
The Read Time item charts how long each device takes to answer a read, one bar per device, slowest first. Bars at or over the slow limit are amber, and the slow line is drawn where the bars come near it.
- Header. The median read time, the slowest device, how many devices are slow and how many are not reading and left out of the chart.
- Chart. Point at a bar to see the device's Edge Gateway and protocol.
Data fields
| Field | Kind |
|---|---|
| Device | Dimension |
| Gateway | Dimension |
| Protocol | Dimension |
| Read time (ms) | Measure |
| Seconds since last read | Measure |
Device and Read time (ms) are required. With Seconds since last read bound, devices whose last read is older than the limit are left out and counted in the header.
Settings
| Setting | Values | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Slow from (ms) | A number from 1 to 60000 | 500 |
| Not reading after (s) | A number from 5 to 86400 | 120 |
| Devices shown | A number from 3 to 100 | 12 |
- Slow from (ms) is the read time from which a bar counts as slow.
- Not reading after (s) is how old the last read may be before a device is left out.
- Devices shown is how many bars the chart draws.
