Communications Statistics

The Communications Statistics screen records communications attempts between Netstream and the communictaions module associated with a remote Meter or Meter Group. This can be useful for understanding intermittent communications problems or for detecting if communications have recently gone offline.

This screen is accessed from cog > View statistics menu of the Communications screen.

Use the toggle button to select the reporting period - either the last 28 days or all days.

The screen is in two parts. On the left are summary statistics for network communications and average connection times. On the right are the connection time details. Each time Netstream tries to communicate with a comms module the result is recorded and reported here.

The Network Communications panel shows the summary statistics for the reporting period.

OK (green)	Communications was successful
Dropped (red)	A TCP connection was established but lost unexpectedly
Failed to connect (pink)	A TCP connection could not be established or was refused

Below Network Communications the Average Connection Time panel shows the average duration - in hours, minutes and seconds - the communication channel was established for.

Label	Description
OK	Average duration of successful comms
Dropped	Average duration of established but incomplete comms

The Connection Time Details panel shows the duration that comms module was in use for each attempt.

Column Name	Description

Connection Duration	The connection duration (hh:mm:ss)
