After you create a monitor, you manage it from its details page. You can see what the monitor has done recently, add or remove assets, adjust what it reads and what it does, and turn it off.
Open a Monitor​
-
From the sidebar, select Asset Monitoring > Monitors.
-
Select the monitor you want to manage.
The monitor's details page opens.
Review a Monitor's Activity​
The top of the details page shows the Monitor status and a summary of the monitor's recent activity. The summary depends on the type of monitor:
| Monitor | Summary shown |
|---|---|
| Asset status | When the asset's status last changed, how many status changes happened in the last 24 hours, and how many assets the monitor is watching. |
| Fault code | When the monitor last detected a fault code, how many work orders it created in the last 24 hours, and how many assets it's watching. |
| Anomaly | When the monitor last triggered an alert, how many alerts it triggered in the last 24 hours, and how many assets it's watching. |
Connected assets is the number of assets that the monitor is watching.
At the bottom of the page, a table lists what the monitor has done recently:
- Recent Status Changes for asset status monitors: the asset, its status change, and the date.
- Recent Work Orders Created for fault code monitors: the asset, the work order that MaintainX® created, and the date.
- Recent Alerts for anomaly monitors: the asset, the alert, its status, the linked work order, and when MaintainX detected it.
Use the search box to find a specific asset.
Add New Assets​
When more assets in your organization match a monitor, a banner at the top of the details page tells you how many new assets you could add. Select Add new assets to choose them.
You can also add assets at any time from Manage Assets. See Change What a Monitor Does.
Change What a Monitor Does​
The Manage this monitor section lists what you can change. Each option reopens part of the monitor's setup, so you can adjust it without starting over.
| Option | What you can do | Available for |
|---|---|---|
| Manage Assets | Add or remove the assets that the monitor watches. | All monitors |
| Change Tags | Confirm or change the tag path that MaintainX reads for each asset. | All monitors |
| Manage Signals | Change how machine signals map to asset statuses. | Asset status monitors |
| Manage Mappings | Add or remove the fault code values that trigger a work order. | Fault code monitors |
| Edit Work Order | Change the details of the work order that MaintainX creates when it detects a fault code. | Fault code monitors |
Your changes take effect only when you finish the setup steps. When you reach the last step, select Update Monitor to save them.
Turn a Monitor On or Off​
Use the Monitor status toggle at the top of the details page to turn the monitor on or off.
While a monitor is off, it doesn't raise new alerts or create work orders. Turning a monitor off doesn't affect alerts that are already open. When you turn the monitor back on, MaintainX doesn't process what happened while it was off. It watches only new readings.
