Real-Time Observability — From Live Metric Streams to Intelligent Alerting

Monitor everything. Alert the right people. Act with confidence.

Assetspire's monitoring stack provides both real-time metric ingestion and long-term historical analysis. Monitor power draw, network traffic, temperature, humidity, and any custom metric — with data flowing directly from BMS sensors, SNMP-enabled devices, and Modbus gateways into the platform. Every metric is mapped to the specific asset it belongs to, creating a complete picture of your infrastructure's health.

The Metric Explorer gives engineers full analytical control: add multiple data series to a single chart, group by label dimensions (phase, circuit, meter), apply aggregation functions, and save presets for recurring analysis. Live Data Grids show real-time metric values across your component hierarchy with auto-refresh and categorised metric tabs — giving operations teams a wall-of-numbers view when they need it.

When thresholds are breached, the alerting system delivers notifications to the right people via email, Microsoft Teams, generic webhooks, or the in-platform notification system — with severity-based filtering, group-role-based routing, and full silence management. Alerts are linked to the specific assets they relate to, so recipients can click through directly to the affected component. ---

Real-Time Observability — From Live Metric Streams to Intelligent Alerting Dashboard View

Connect to Every Sensor in Your Facility

Assetspire ingests metrics from a wide range of sources:

  • BMS Integration: Connect directly to Building Management Systems to pull environmental metrics (temperature, humidity, airflow, water leak detection)
  • SNMP Discovery: Run automated SNMP discovery against network-enabled devices to detect available metrics, select the ones you need, and create metering points automatically
  • Modbus Support: Connect to Modbus-enabled devices (power meters, environmental sensors, industrial controllers) via TCP or RTU protocols
  • Metric Definition System: Every metric has a defined code, unit, display name, and category — ensuring consistency across your estate regardless of the source
  • Metric-to-Asset Mapping: Metrics are mapped to specific components in your asset hierarchy — so you always know which rack, PDU, or device a reading belongs to
  • Threshold Sets: Define warning, critical, and information thresholds per metric per asset — creating the foundation for intelligent alerting

Build Any Analysis You Need

The Metric Explorer is a full-featured charting and analysis tool:

  • Multi-Series Charts: Add multiple metric series to a single chart — compare power draw across phases, temperatures across rooms, or any combination of metrics
  • Saved Presets: Save your chart configurations as named presets — including selected metrics, time range, aggregation settings, and layout — so you can return to a specific analysis instantly
  • Aggregation Controls: Apply sum, average, minimum, maximum, or count aggregations across your data series
  • Configurable Time Ranges: View data from the last 15 minutes to the last year, with custom date range selection
  • Auto-Refresh: Charts update automatically at configurable intervals (from every 10 seconds for live monitoring to hourly for trend analysis)
  • Multi-Column Layout: Display up to 3 charts side by side for comparative analysis
  • Envelope Display: Show min/max envelopes around aggregated values to understand data spread
  • Legend Controls: Toggle individual series on/off, show/hide the legend panel, and use compact toolbar mode for maximum chart space
  • Zoom & Pan: Zoom into specific time ranges by clicking and dragging, then pan to explore adjacent periods

Slice Your Data Any Way You Need

Metrics often have multiple dimensions — phases, circuits, meters, locations. The label filtering system lets you dissect them:

  • Group By Labels: Select any label dimension to split a single metric into multiple series — e.g., group power current by "phase" to see Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 as separate lines
  • Filter by Values: Within a label dimension, select specific values to include or exclude — e.g., show only Phase 1 and Phase 2, or only Circuit A
  • Dynamic Discovery: The platform can automatically discover available label values for any metric, so you always know what dimensions are available
  • Combined Filtering: Apply multiple label filters simultaneously — group by phase AND filter to circuit A — for precise analytical slicing
  • Checkbox UI: Simple checkbox interface for selecting group-by dimensions and filtering to specific values

Real-Time Values at a Glance

For operations teams who need to see current values across many assets simultaneously:

  • Tabular Live View: A structured grid showing current metric values for every component in a selected hierarchy — e.g., all racks on a floor, all PDUs in a room
  • Categorised Tabs: Metrics are automatically grouped into category tabs (Power, Environmental, Network, etc.) — click a tab to see all metrics in that category
  • Auto-Refresh: Values update automatically at configurable intervals, keeping the grid current without manual action
  • Search & Filter: Search for specific components within the grid, or filter by metric value ranges
  • Saved Presets: Save grid configurations (selected hierarchy, metric categories, page size) as named presets for quick recall
  • Configurable Page Size: Adjust how many components appear per page to suit your display

See Metrics on the Infrastructure

Metrics aren't just numbers in a table — they can be visualised directly on the 3D digital twin:

  • Component Colouring: Racks, devices, and areas are coloured based on live metric values using configurable colour spectrums (green → yellow → red)
  • Multiple Strategies: Choose from latest value display, spectrum mapping, range intensity, trend analysis (up/down/stable), or multi-series spectrum (per-phase gradients)
  • Volumetric Heatmaps: Temperature data is rendered as a true 3D thermal cloud in the digital twin — not a flat overlay, but a volumetric field with smooth interpolation between sensors
  • Interactive Tooltips: Hover over any coloured component to see detailed metric breakdowns with sparkline trend charts and per-series values

Note: This section cross-references the Digital Twin page — keep the content focused on the metric/monitoring aspect rather than duplicating the 3D rendering details.

The Right Alert. To the Right Person. At the Right Time.

Assetspire's alerting system ensures that when something goes wrong, the right people know immediately:

  • Threshold-Based Triggering: Alerts fire when metrics breach configured thresholds — with separate warning, critical, and information severity levels
  • Multiple Notification Channels: Deliver alerts via:
  • Email — formatted HTML notifications with alert details, severity indicators, and direct links to affected assets
  • Microsoft Teams — adaptive card notifications posted to configured channels
  • Generic Webhooks — POST alerts to any URL for integration with existing incident management tools
  • In-Platform Notifications — real-time notification badges in the Assetspire UI, linked directly to affected components
  • Group-Role Routing: Configure which user groups receive which alerts — operations teams get infrastructure alerts, management gets SLA warnings, customers get only their tenant-specific notifications
  • Severity Filtering: Users can configure their minimum notification severity — an executive might only want critical alerts, while an engineer wants everything including warnings

Configure Once. Alert Forever.

Setting up alerting is structured but flexible:

  • Receiver Configuration: Define notification receivers — email addresses, Teams webhook URLs, custom webhook endpoints — each with their own formatting templates
  • Routing Rules: Build routing trees that direct alerts to different receivers based on labels, severity, or source — ensuring critical power alerts go to the facilities team while network alerts go to the NOC
  • Inhibition Rules: Prevent alert storms by configuring inhibition — when a critical alert fires, suppress related warning alerts for the same component to reduce noise
  • Silence Management: Temporarily silence specific alerts during planned maintenance windows — with scheduled start and end times, and automatic re-enablement
  • Notification Templates: Customise the format and content of alert notifications with a template system — different templates for email, Teams, and webhook outputs
  • Configuration Inheritance: Alert configurations support parent/child inheritance — set global defaults, then override specific settings per site or per customer
  • Validation: Configurations are validated before deployment to prevent misconfiguration

Never Miss What Matters

The in-platform notification system provides a centralised alert inbox:

  • Real-Time Badge: A notification icon in the platform header shows the count of unread alerts, updating in real-time
  • Notification List: Click through to see all notifications sorted by severity and time, with read/unread status tracking
  • Asset-Linked: Every notification is linked to the specific asset it relates to — click through directly to the affected rack, PDU, or device
  • Severity Indicators: Visual severity badges (critical red, warning amber, info blue) make it easy to triage at a glance
  • Active/Resolved Tracking: Notifications automatically update when alerts resolve — showing the resolution timestamp alongside the original alert

Discover Metrics Automatically

Don't manually configure every metric — let the platform discover what's available:

  • Automated Discovery: Point the wizard at an SNMP-enabled device and it queries available data points automatically
  • Metric Selection: Browse discovered metrics in a categorised list, select the ones you want to monitor, and the platform creates the metering configuration automatically
  • Modbus Discovery: Similar guided discovery for Modbus-enabled devices, walking through register configuration step by step
  • Bulk Configuration: Discover and configure metrics for multiple devices simultaneously
