Telemetry

Overview​

Telemetry in IoTBreeze allows you to visualize historical and real-time data across multiple Things. Instead of focusing on a single device, telemetry views aggregate measures from various Things - giving you a powerful and flexible dashboard for data analysis.

You can create reusable views tailored to specific ThingTypes, Things, Measures and Aggregations and visualize them using different chart types.

From the sidebar, go to Monitor → Telemetry.

If no telemetry views exist yet, you’ll see an empty state with a list:

Bucket Selector​

For large timeframes, telemetry uses buckets to summarize data using your selected aggregation (e.g. average, min, max).

Click on a bucket to drill down into more detailed intervals:

📦 Bucketing improves performance and reduces clutter during long-range data analysis.

    • Measure
    • Thing
    • Aggregation method
    • Chart Type: Choose from dots, bar, line, or area
    • Color: Set a custom color for distinction

Each measure can have a unique chart type and color, allowing rich and clear data presentations.

Once configuration is complete, click "Save" to store the view.

You will be prompted for a name and also groups to select. Both are required.
