Events Explorer

Pivot analysis of device events for a chosen corrector type — top codes by frequency, distribution across five classes, and per-node drill-down.

Events Explorer is a tool for free-form exploration of fleet device events for a chosen corrector type. It collects events from several nodes of the selected type and brings them into a single picture: which events happen more often, which categories they belong to, and on which nodes they occur. The audience is the control service and analysts: not a ready-made verdict, but a research tool to understand how a fleet of a specific device type behaves and which events are worth tracking.

What it shows

A summary of all events of the chosen device type over the period, broken down across several cross-sections.

ElementWhat it means
Total eventshow many events were collected on the selected nodes over the period
Unique codeshow many different kinds of event occurred
Most frequent codesa list of events sorted by frequency, with the share of the total
Event categoriesdistribution across 5 groups (see below)
Breakdown by nodeon which nodes the events occurred — you can drill down into details

Each event is assigned to one of 5 categories:

CategoryWhat it means
Physical accesshousing breach, device tampering
Substitutionsubstitution of data or metering mode
Metrologymeasurement deviations
Communicationdata-transmission failures
Otherthe remaining service events

How it is calculated

First, the list of fleet nodes is found for the chosen corrector type. Then, from a portion of these nodes (10 by default, to avoid overloading the platform) events are collected for the specified period from the archives of abnormal situations, changes and alarms. The collected events are grouped by code, category and archive kind, after which summary tables are built: the most frequent codes, the distribution by category and the breakdown by node.

How to read it

Start with the most frequent codes — they show what the fleet of the chosen type mostly raises noise about. Then look at the categories: a spike in physical-access or substitution events is a reason to look more closely at specific nodes via the breakdown by node. Metrology and communication more often indicate technical rather than deliberate causes.

Keep the limitations in mind. By default only 10 nodes are polled — for reliable statistics on a type with hundreds or thousands of devices, raise the number of polled nodes. If the chosen type keeps no event archives, the result will be empty with a warning — choose a type that has events.

The Corrector Failure Atlas provides a reference of event codes, while the per-node Metering Bypass report places the events of a specific node on a time scale.
