Data Series

Data Series are the central backbone of LiveDC. The Data gathered in each Data Series can be pushed to COG’s, Graphs, Heatmaps, Executive Reports, Operational Cost Reports, etc. Data Series can gather Data in many different ways. The LiveDC platform can collect by using SNMPv1, URL Scrapes, Dynamic Sets, Trends, Formulas, Record Counts, and by Manually inputting the Data. In a nutshell, Data Series tie everything together throughout the LiveDC platform.

Information you need to know before setting up a Data Series:

• Name of the Data Series
• Whether the Data is a Number or Text
• What Format you would like the Number to return as
• How often you would like to Poll to return the Data
• How you would like to Poll for Data
