Data Collection Troubleshooting - SiteManager tools

SiteManager

In the SiteManager there is different tools to help you troubleshoot the DCM setup:

1. " DCM > Status " page is a great tool to see the overall health of your setup.
2. " Log > View " is useful for tracking errors and the reason.
3. " GateManager > agents " can show you if the DCM config and agents config match.

Status page (DCM > Status):

The status page consists of

An overview on the right. Here you can click to go to the corresponding section.

In the center you see various sections, the first 3 sections are a general overview of the configuration.

Subsystem configuration

Edge ID: is the device ID you enter in the IoT clouds to identify the specific device.

Store&forward database statistics

Alarms

Collectors and sample-points

Next section is all about the Collector(s)

First part is a general overview of the collector

(Here is shown overview from a collector named "sim", "sim" is also the value mentioned in the agent parameter details)

Then one section per sample-point configured for the collector.

(Here it shows that data is not reaching 2 of the 3 clouds configured,

also evident in the Alarms section)

Another example of a Collector and sample-points with error,

notice the "Inactive" status next to the headline

Data servers

First a dataserver in error state, notice the (Inactive) status and the zero's.

A second dataserver in error state, notice the 399 connection fails

And finally a working dataserver, but 2 messages hasn't reached the cloud.
