The Data Explorer provides historical and real-time graphical views of Asset Data Streams. Key capabilities include:

• View when Actions, such as Control Changes, were performed on an Asset
• View when Recommendations were created and what was decided
• View the Insights and Events of an Asset
• Save and switch between views
• Change timezone to match Asset location
• Search and filter by Assets and Data Streams
• Configure the aggregation and y-axis limits of each Data Stream
• Configure Y-axis display per unit, per Data Stream, or single axis
• Independent Y-axis zoom controls

Open Data Explorer¶

You can open the Data Explorer from several locations in the Kelvin UI.

From the Left Side Menu¶

Click the Data Explorer menu item under Operations in the left sidebar.

From the Assets Page¶

Click on the Data Explorer icon in the Asset row. This will automatically select that Asset.

From the Asset Details Page¶

Click the Data Explorer button at the top of the page. This will automatically fill in the Asset name.

From the Applications Page¶

Click on the Data Explorer button on the Application summary page.

Or click on an Asset name in the Assets tab of the Application page.

Select Assets and Data Streams¶

Use the Data Source tab in the left panel to choose what is shown in the chart.

Select an Asset¶

Click an Asset in the list to show its data.

You can find an Asset by;

• Typing in the search box
• Clicking on the filter icon to filter the list

Select Data Streams¶

• Tick the checkbox of a Data Stream to show it in the chart
• Tick the checkbox of a type to select all the Data Streams of that type
• Type in the search box to find a Data Stream
• Click on the filter icon to filter the list

Configure Data Streams¶

Click on the cog icon in the Data Streams section to open the Data Streams Configurations popup.

Click on the Aggregation dropdown of a Data Stream to select the aggregation.

Click on the Intervals dropdown of a Data Stream to select the time period of the aggregation.

To set the limits of the y-axis, enter the Minimum Value and Maximum Value for the Data Stream.

Click the Apply button to save your changes or the Cancel button to close the popup without changes.

Set the Time Range¶

Click on the calendar icon to open the time range selector.

Use a Custom Interval¶

Turn on the Show Calendar switch to select a time range from a calendar picker. You can also set your local timezone here.

Monitor Data in Real Time¶

You can use Data Explorer for live monitoring by setting a refresh rate.

The refresh rate can be set from 5 seconds to 1 hour. To return to historical analysis mode, select Off in the Refresh dropdown.

Customize the Y-Axis¶

The Axis control in the header sets how the Y-axis is displayed.

Fill Data¶

Fill Data is off by default.

To keep Data Explorer fast, the chart plots a subset of all the data in the time period shown. If you need more resolution, turn on Fill Data and ALL the data is plotted.

Zoom Into Data¶

Zoom the Y-Axis¶

You can individually zoom into each variable's Y-axis separately. This is useful for viewing a section of data in high detail.

Zoom the X-Axis (Time)¶

You can zoom the time span on the X-axis. When zoomed in, the Zoom Out / Zoom Reset controls above the chart become active.

Show or Hide Activity Lanes¶

You can toggle each lane independently with its icon in the Lanes control in the top right corner. You can also turn lanes on or off in the Activity Lanes tab of the left panel.
