Configure watchdogs (missing data)

Watchdogs let you set per‑data‑type rules: if no data arrives within a chosen interval, mark an alarm and (if subscribers exist) send notifications.

User Permissions

Only Global Admins can edit watchdogs in the current UI. Other users can view alarm state indicators. If Organization Admins should also manage watchdogs, this can be adjusted by policy.

Watchdogs management

Before You Begin​

  • Select an Organization and expand a Construction to show Measurement Points.

Edit watchdogs​

Open the Watchdogs dialog from a Measurement Point row.

For each available Data Type:

  • Enabled: toggle watchdog on/off for that data type.
  • Interval: set the threshold period (e.g., 12 hours). If no data arrives during this span, the alarm becomes active.
  • Alarm active: shows whether the alarm is currently active.
  • Info sent: whether a notification was already sent for the current alarm window.
tip

Start with longer intervals on low‑frequency sensors to avoid noisy alerts. Tighten thresholds once you confirm expected sampling cadence.

Behavior​

  • Alarm evaluation happens server‑side.
  • The table of MPs flags active alarms; use Alerts to ensure someone gets notified.
