Note
Sensors that have been disconnected for more than seven days are not shown.
Sensor health data is collected only for the latest versions of standalone Cloud Collector and Comm Brokers. Sensors integrated with MVX Smart Grid, Cloud MVX, and Packet Capture appliances are not included.
The following information is provided for a sensor.
If a value is 0, 0% is displayed.
If no data is available for a value, dashes are displayed.
If a value is less than 1%, but greater than 0, <1% is displayed.
All other values are rounded up or down to the nearest integer. For example, 1.2% rounds down to 1% and 1.5% rounds up to 2%.
