Enable LoRaWAN® network related analytics with Network Operations Center
Get gateway connectivity, traffic, uptime insight and more
Network Operations Center (NOC) is the new The Things Stack component that enables LoRaWAN network-related analytics on historical data. Administrators can assess the health of their network through the insights into network performance and stability.
NOC simplifies the access to processed and aggregated historical data, which normally is hard to reach while looking at individual event streams. This helps to make more informed conclusions about the state of individual end devices and gateways.
The first release of the NOC is centered on gateway statistics. The overview page provides a high level overview of the network, with a focus on gateways:
It visualizes the information about the gateway connectivity (which may reveal a flaky network connection or overall gateway behavior, traffic, uptime (the fraction of time in which the gateway has been connected to the Network Server), packets per channel, and the last recorded packet rate (uplink + downlink):
Capabilities:
- Examine statistics of an individual gateway through gateway details
- See how traffic patterns evolve over time through the traffic graphic
- Monitor connection and disconnection events
- See which channels are overused and may be prone to collisions through the packets per channel histogram and channel utilization graph
- Assess the range of the gateway through the lowest RSSI bargauge chart
Future capabilities (to be added in future releases):
- Application level details and overviews to assess the health of end devices
- Assess the battery usage and lifetime of the end device through data rate changes and frame counter gaps
- Assess end devices which are vulnerable to packet loss do lack of redundancy (i.e. are covered by a single gateway) through an overview of gateways that cover an individual application and end device
