Chapter 4: Data Logging
Log your Data
The third step in Cloud Logging is to set up logging your data. To do so, you'll configure
data tags, and define custom log triggers if desired.
Configure the data tags
Data tags describe how you wish to log your variables. You can choose to
log them at a static interval (100ms to 1hr), when their values change, or on a custom trigger.
Additionally, you define how long the data should be stored (retention policy).
The Online Help link above will walk you through adding data tags, either manually or by
importing from another router or a .csv file, and testing them.
Configure the log triggers
Log triggers allow you to log data based on the state of any variable.
They allow you to record the value of any number of data tags at the moment that the trigger
condition is met There is no limit to the number of triggers you can define, and you can use
the same trigger for different data tags.
The Online Help link above will walk you through creating and managing log triggers.
Visualize or Export your Data
Finally, once your data is being logged you'll need a way to use it. StrideLinx lets you export
your data to a .csv file, or visualize it on the StrideLinx Cloud.
Export your data
You can easily export your Cloud Logging data in a .csv format, which
you can then use in Microsoft Excel, 3rd party business intelligence tools, or other programs
for more advanced analytics. Log triggers allow you to log data based on the state of any
variable. They allow you to record the value of any number of data tags at the moment that
the trigger condition is met There is no limit to the number of triggers you can define, and
you can use the same trigger for different data tags.
The Online Help link above will walk you through exporting your data.
Visualize your data
Visualisation does not affect your Cloud Logging credit (data points per
hour). However, the configuration of your data tags, i.e. the effectively logged data, does.
There are two ways to visualize your data: Through data reports and through live monitoring.
The data is displayed on an overview 'card' for each router, which lets you see the status of
machines connected to multiple routers at once, and on detailed 'pages' for each router. These
views are created in StrideLinx Studio, and viewed online in StrideLinx Portal.
