Connectivity Monitoring and the RTV

Connectivity Monitoring and the RTV

DataXchange can monitor the connection health of three different types of communication. The first is Equipment Connectivity Health which refers to tracking the time in which the DataXchange Service has a connection to the Equipment Source such as Focas, MTConnect, or the SRC. The second is Command Connectivity Health which monitors the health of the DataXchange command for the associated equipment. The third is the Cloud Connectivity Health which refers to tracking the time in which the DX Service is communicating with the cloud.
​

Connection Monitoring can be viewed through the RTV Equipment Status Grid. This can be done when building an RTV screen. When Assigning a view select the Equipment Status Grid, then configure the columns then make sure the associated column is selected. Additional information on the Equipment Status Grid can be found here.
