Analytics

This article refers to Platform v2.9.0. The current Platform version is v3.2.0.

Overview

The Analytics card on the Node Details page plots the historical evolution of telemetry — CPU, RAM, disk, temperature, system load, open files — over a time range you choose. Use it to spot trends, regressions, and the impact of a workload over time.

Building an analytics chart takes three inputs: a time period, a metric, and one or more datasources.

1. Time period

Pick the time range to plot.

  • Relative — a window that ends at now (for example, last 24 hours).
  • Absolute — a fixed window between two specific timestamps.
note

If the node has not sent any telemetry within the selected window, the chart stays empty. Try a wider window or check that the node is online.

2. Metric

Choose which metric to plot:

  • Temperature (node only)
  • System Load (node only)
  • RAM
  • Disk
  • CPU
  • Files (processes only)

For a full description of every metric, read Telemetry.

3. Datasources

Once you have a metric, pick the datasources — the node itself and any process running on it. You can plot several datasources in the same chart for direct comparison.

Why is the datasource selector empty?

Two situations leave the datasource selector empty:

  1. There is no data for the chosen metric in the chosen time window.
  2. There is no workload running that exposes the chosen metric.

Once the three inputs are set, the chart renders below.

Export the chart

The menu in the top-left of the chart lets you download what you see in three formats:

  • PNG image
  • SVG vector image
  • CSV data

Summary

Pick a time period, a metric, and one or more datasources, and the Analytics card renders the evolution of a node or its processes over time. Export the chart as PNG, SVG, or CSV when you need to share it.
