Expected Available: Management

Overview

The expected available form will allow you to control when your device is supposed to be operational. It can also restrict sending out smart alerts if the device is not expected to be available.

4 Modes are available to define Expected Available:

Custom Expected Available

An example of a LISP format is show below:

[
  "and",
  [
    "==",
    [
      "$",
      "device",
      "data",
      "/robot_state",
      "ready"
    ],
    true
  ],
  [
    "==",
    [
      "$",
      "device",
      "data",
      "/control_state",
      "data"
    ],
    "operating"
  ]
]

It will begin with array value and then the logical operator ["and", "or", "not] depending on your circumstance. You will want to evaluate data from a particular topic. The next index will be the path to the data topic you want to analyze. For example, we can look at the device data and see robot state on the stream page.

In this case, device data has a topic called /robot_state. It has a property called ready. We want to evaluate when the value is true. We can do the same for the control state topic on the stream page.
