Viewing and downloading alerts

Xweather Protect

The Map in Xweather Protect shows the alert status of the protected assets, and has various settings and data layers that you can choose from.

  1. Select Map at the top navigation on the left.

  2. In the Locations summary table on the left, use the arrow at the top to expand and collapse the table.

  3. Select the asset of interest from the table or on the map to show the alerts panel at the bottom of the screen, where more details of current alert status, configurations, and options to add / edit / download lightning alerts are shown.

  4. Select 30-day alerts in the alert panel, and then select Lightning, Hail, or All, in order to download a CSV file of the alerts for all of the protected assets from the last 30 days for the selected lightning or hail parameter. If All is selected, both lightning and hail CSV files will download. The lightning alerts CSV includes the data for time of first lightning event which activated the alert, alert start time, alert clear time, and alert duration for each lightning alert severity. The hail alerts CSV includes the data for time of hail alert start time, alert last event time, alert clear time, and alert duration.

Viewing measurement alerts

Note: Measurement alerts are available with the Xweather Protect Xcast Add-on option.

The map, measurement table, and graph views all display measurement alerts. On the map, devices with active alerts are highlighted with a red outline around their icon. In the table, alerting measurements are shown with a red cell. In the graph, alerts appear as a horizontal red line at the bottom. In all views, the red color indicates that a value has exceeded its alert threshold.

To see the threshold, place your cursor on the red area over the arrow icon. 

  1. Select a device that has alerts. 
    In the graph view, a red line below the graph (ALERTS) indicates the period when the alert is active.

  2. Adding or deleting an alert is reflected in the table and graph view. For example, when an alert is removed, the red line is removed from the UI.

  3. Note also that different time scales in the graph view affect whether an alert is shown or not. For example, when having measurements received every one minute and selecting the 1-hour or 6-hour time scale, the measurements are not averaged, but when selecting the 24-hour, 7-day, or 1-month time scale, the instant and mean measurement values are averaged, affecting whether the value reaches the set threshold limit or not.

If a measurement with a value beyond the threshold arrives more than 15 minutes late, alert notifications are not sent.
