Data Explorer & Plots

The Data section provides two views for inspecting sensor data: a tabular explorer and a time-series plot view. Both are scoped to the access grants of the logged-in user.

Data Explorer

URL: /data/explorer

The explorer lets you query sensor data — raw or aggregated — with filters and download the results.

Filtering data

Use the filter panel to narrow your query:

Filter	Description
Department	One or more departments, shown as Organisation :: Department (multi-select)
Entity	Filter to specific sensors or devices (optional, all if empty)
Metric	Filter to specific metrics (optional, all if empty)
Range	Start and end of the time range (defaults to the last 7 days)
Aggregation	Raw, 1min, 5min, 10min, Hourly, or Daily (default Raw)
Preview rows	Maximum rows shown in the results table (default 500, max 10000)

Selecting an aggregation other than Raw queries the same pre-aggregated continuous-aggregate views used by Plots, rather than raw readings — useful for wide time ranges, or for entities whose raw data has already aged out under Raw Data Retention (the aggregated history is retained indefinitely regardless of raw-data retention settings).

Click Search to load the data. Results are shown in a table with columns for time, entity, metric, value, and tags (tags are only available for Raw).

Downloading data

• Export Preview downloads exactly what’s shown in the results table.
• Export All streams every matching row for the current filters — not limited by Preview rows — as a CSV download. This can be a large file for wide time ranges on Raw.

Plots

URL: /data/plots

The plots view renders interactive time-series charts for one or more metrics.

Creating a plot

1. Select one or more departments.
2. Select one or more entities.
3. Select one or more metrics.
4. Set the time range.
5. Choose an aggregation level: Raw, 1min, 5min, 10min, Hourly, Daily, or Weekly (default 1min).
6. Click Plot.

Each metric is drawn as a separate line. Multiple entities for the same metric are shown on the same axis. Aggregated levels read from pre-computed continuous-aggregate views rather than raw data, which stays fast even over wide time ranges; Weekly is computed by further rolling up the daily view.

Interacting with the chart

• Zoom: click and drag on the chart area to zoom into a time range.
• Pan: hold shift and drag.
• Reset: double-click to reset the view.
• Hover: hover over a data point to see the exact value and timestamp.

The plots view is suitable for quick visual inspection. For production dashboards and alerting, use Grafana.
