Find the errors around a device fault.

Search collected device and backend logs by time and device context. Investigate what changed and check fresh logs after a fix. Retention and analysis capabilities depend on your plan.

  • Tail and search syslog from devices, gateways, applications, and backend services.
  • Keep each log stream tied to device identity, status, and operational history.
  • Compare error signatures across tags, device classes, firmware versions, and cohorts.

Linux device and service log ingestion

Send syslog through the device connection or configured collectors, then search it from the shared operations timeline.

Syslog

Unified streams

Device, SaaS, and backend logs land in one view.

Search

Fast filtering

Search by device, cohort, or error signature.

Context

Device metadata

Logs carry device tags and metadata.

Search with device context

Logs become more useful when they inherit the metadata already attached to each device.

Devices

Jump to the source

Move from a log line to the device record, customer, and current health state.

Cohorts

Filter by fleet segment

Search only lab units, a pilot customer, a firmware version, or a region.

Patterns

Find recurring faults

Compare error signatures across devices to separate one-off failures from product issues.

Incident evidence

Keep the facts that explain a support case beside the action that fixed it.

Alerts

Alert correlation

Pair log evidence with heartbeat, threshold, and availability alerts.

Terminal

Diagnose before acting

Read logs before opening a shell, then return to the same timeline after the fix.

Audit

Support record

Preserve the evidence trail for customer updates, warranty analysis, and postmortems.
