Skyline Station Monitor

The Skyline Station Monitor connection is designed to facilitate real-time data collection, parameter tracking, and automated actions for generic Apps for quick deployment of new stations.

Configuration

Connections

Virtual connection

This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.

Usage

Standard Monitoring

Standard monitoring is consistent across all stations. It must be routed to the predefined parameters that hold information for each KPI, meaning that rows cannot be added or removed. The collected data is then displayed on the Standard Monitoring page.

Custom Monitoring

Custom monitoring allows for flexible mapping, enabling users to define their own parameters to retrieve. Unlike with standard monitoring, users can add or remove rows as needed to accommodate specific monitoring requirements that are not predefined within the standard framework.

Data Polling Process

  1. The system reads the Element ID to identify the device and component.
  2. It retrieves the specified Parameter ID value at the configured polling frequency.
  3. If a Row Key is provided, it accesses the corresponding row in a table.
  4. The collected values are stored, including timestamps, alarm states, and results.
  5. Errors are logged if polling fails.

Element ID Format

Each monitored element is identified using a DMAID/ElementID format:

  • DMAID: A unique identifier for the monitored device or system.
  • ElementID: The specific component within that system being monitored.

For example:

123/456

Parameter ID

The Parameter ID is a numerical identifier representing the specific attribute being monitored within an element. It defines what data will be polled from the specified Element ID.

  • Each parameter ID corresponds to a predefined metric (e.g., CPU usage, voltage, temperature).
  • The polling frequency determines how often the parameter value is retrieved.

For example:

Element ID: 123/456
Parameter ID: 789

In the example above, parameter 789 is being polled from Element 123/456.

Using a Row Key for Table-Based Parameters

If a Row Key is specified, the system assumes the parameter belongs to a table structure within the element. In this case:

  • The Row Key determines the specific entry within the table (the primary key).
  • The Parameter ID defines the column ID to be retrieved from that row.

For example:

Element ID: 123/456
Parameter ID: 789
Row Key: analog1

The setup from the example above retrieves the 789 parameter from the analog1 row within Element 123/456.
