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

Editing watchdogs (enabling/disabling checks and setting intervals) requires the Organization Administrator role or higher. Other users can view alarm state indicators.

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.
