Historical and Realtime Widgets    

1. Real-time widgets are created for live monitoring, where the incoming data is displayed instantly in the widget on receiving the message. This provides an insight into the current performance, and also helps to identify and rectify any issue without delay.
   

Note: The Live widget icon is displayed in RED or GRAY based on the device's connection status. It appears red when data is being received and gray when the device is disconnected or no data is available.

1.  Historical widgets display data collected over a period of time and therefore help to study the performance of the devices and assets in the network. This ensures proper maintenance, which eventually leads to increased productivity and prolonged life of the components.
   

Timeseries and Instance Property Grouping   

(i) A simple time series chart displaying the temperature values received in the last 24 hours.

 

(ii) An aggregated time series chart displaying the daily fuel consumption every day (grouped by day) for a period of seven days.

 

1. Instance property grouping is used in charts to create charts grouped based on the properties of instances (device, asset, location, etc.). Here, data can be grouped on instance properties such as name, type, time, addresses, and so on.
   

Sample Screenshot :
