Data Stream Analyzer

Overview

Data Stream Analyzer is a specialized, no-code monitoring tool within IoT Logic that enables quick and efficient diagnosis of device data transmission issues. When you need to verify data accuracy or investigate device behavior, this tool provides instant visibility into data flows from any connected data source, like GPS devices and M2M servers, regardless of manufacturer or transmission protocol. By allowing direct access to both raw device data and attributes calculated by IoT Logic in real-time, it eliminates the traditional delays and complexities of device troubleshooting.

This document provides a general overview of the Data Stream Analyzer's capabilities. For step-by-step instructions on using the tool, including detailed interface guidance and configuration options, please refer to the Data Stream Analyzer section in the User documentation.

Capabilities and benefits

Data Stream Analyzer addresses a critical challenge in data source device management: the need for immediate, independent troubleshooting capabilities. When devices aren't reporting as expected or data seems incorrect, waiting for 3rd-party support or using multiple diagnostic tools costs valuable time and resources. This tool empowers your device installers, technical support engineers, field experts, and even developers to identify and resolve issues quickly by providing a unified interface for device diagnostics and health checks.

The tool's troubleshooting capabilities include:

• Real-time verification of device data transmission

• Extended historical monitoring with storage of up to 12 last values for pattern analysis and trend detection

• Instant validation of GPS tracking accuracy

• Remote device health checks without physical access

• Verification of data transformation processes

• Cross-source data comparison for integration debugging

Practical applications

Data Stream Analyzer proves particularly valuable in real-time GPS data troubleshooting scenarios. It enables you to:

• Verify proper device configuration during deployment

• Diagnose connectivity issues remotely

• Debug integration issues across different device types

• Validate device behavior before field deployment

• Identify data transmission anomalies quickly

• Resolve issues without vendor support intervention

By providing these capabilities through a data source-agnostic tool, Data Stream Analyzer significantly reduces the time and effort needed to maintain healthy device operations. You can diagnose issues across their entire device fleet without switching between multiple manufacturer-specific tools or waiting for external support.

Implementation

The Data Stream Analyzer is fully integrated with IoT Logic's data processing flows. To use it, follow these steps:

1. Access the tool through the Navixy platform UI, Data Stream Analyzer is available in one click within IoT Logic workspace.

2. Select the specific devices requiring diagnosis

3. Begin your diagnostic process with real-time data visibility

Device availability

Data Stream Analyzer operates within the flow where it is opened. Only devices assigned to this flow are available for selection.

If no custom flows exist, all devices are part of the default flow, and the analyzer can access the full device list. Once custom flows are created, they take ownership of their assigned devices, removing them from the default flow.

This approach ensures Data Stream Analyzer always works within the relevant set of devices, matching the current operational context.

The tool's straightforward interface allows both quick health checks and in-depth troubleshooting.
