Current State – Device Overview

The Current State tab under the Devices Menu in Asset Configuration provides real-time visibility into the most recent data reported by a telemetry device. This is one of the most valuable tools when assessing device health, confirming telemetry updates, or troubleshooting discrepancies in data feeds.

Purpose and Overview

This screen displays a live snapshot of all data fields transmitted by the selected device, including their:

  • Property Name (system key)

  • Property Title (human-readable label)

  • Value (latest known value)

  • Schema ID (schema that owns the property)

  • Value Type (data format: number, string, boolean, etc.)

The tab makes it easy to quickly validate whether the device is reporting the required fields for asset monitoring and downstream workflows, such as maintenance triggers, fuel usage reporting, or temperature compliance.

Key Features

  • Search Bar: Use the search bar at the top to filter specific properties (e.g. engineSpeed, odometer, or fuelUsed) across large property sets.

  • Export Button: Click the Export button to download a .csv file containing the full snapshot of the current state for audit, troubleshooting, or offline analysis.

  • Total Properties: The total number of individual telemetry fields is shown at the bottom right of the table (e.g. Total: 92), helping gauge the completeness of the dataset.

Reading the Data

Each row in the table represents a telemetry field from the device:

Column Description
Property Name System ID used by Perspio
Property Title User-friendly label
Value Most recent received data
Schema ID Originating schema for data mapping
Value Type Data format (e.g. number, string, boolean)
 

This format enables technical and operational teams to easily cross-reference values during data quality reviews.

Example Use Cases

  • Validate Device Activation: Confirm that a device is actively reporting (active: true) and that key fields such as coordinates, engineSpeed, and externalBatteryVoltage are present and accurate.

  • Troubleshooting Sensor Issues: If temperature or pressure sensors are not triggering alerts, check if their values are updating in the Current State tab.

  • Verify Schema Mapping: Identify the schema origin of a particular telemetry field for advanced integrations or data modeling.

Why It Matters

Having immediate access to the current state of a device ensures that your assets are properly monitored, alerts are triggered accurately, and data pipelines remain healthy. It also plays a critical role in:

  • Ensuring data freshness and reliability

  • Diagnosing anomalies (e.g., missing GPS, zero fuel used)

  • Understanding schema coverage per device model

This tab is foundational for both initial implementation and ongoing device maintenance in Perspio.
