Quality Assurance / Quality Control Monitor
In the background the QA/QC service constantly skims records off the top of the database and performs tests defined by you against each row of data. The QA/QC Monitor page can be accessed by all (authentication is not required) and is used to review the state of your sensor suite based upon the rulesets you have defined inside the QA/QC Builder. It is actively updated as changes to QA/QC are detected and can/should be left open an monitored by human eyes for issues.
At the top of the page there is a toolbar which has a few useful functions on it. These options only apply to the specific tab you are browing on and do not effect the system at large or other peoples tabs/browsers. The functions allow you to:
- Change the display to use system assigned naming vs user defined names (in CFE)
- Filter which QA/QC definitions are being reported
- Change the time frame the report is covering
- Automatically sort the display as data is updated to provide the best general feedback (you can change the sort yourself by clicking on a column otherwise)
- Pause incoming notifications so you can review the state statically
- Delete historic trigger records (authentication and appropriate rights are required to perform this action)
Below the toolbar is the main feedback portion of the QA/QC tooling in SCS. If auto-sort is enabled then the most pressing issues will show up on the top (most errors, currently in an error state, etc). However you can manually click on any column to reorder things as you see fit. To go back to the default either refresh the page or click the auto sort button in the tool bar.
The first column displays the name of the feed which has experienced an issue, the next column indicates whether it is currently continuing to experience issues or if it has been cleared. The following two columns display the number of times the feed has toggled between the various states (eg number of times it entered an Error state and/or a Warning state) followed by a column which shows which state it currently is in. The next column tells you how long it's been in it's current state. The final column shows you a relative graph detailing how many errors/warnings it's had compared to other items in your list.
Expanding the row by clicking the arrow on the left/start of it will provide details regarding those metrics. Here you can see the types of transitions which sum up to the above numbers and the totals in terms of time that the feed has had errors and warnings. You can also see each detailed message associated with the transitions, including the source data which triggered the change.
To the right of the grid is a live feed of QA/QC messages will be displayed. These notifications are what are organized and tallied to build the grid with the data mentioned above.
