System Sentry provides performance data totals that indicate device performance since one or all projects in the system started. System Sentry also provides indicators that enable you to monitor current device performance.
Accumulated totals since the project started

Counts the Number of: |
A |
Transmissions |
Polled |
Transmissions to one or all devices, indicates how much activity is going into a communication device. A rapid increase may provide a warning for a communication device overflow. |
|
|
Unsolicited |
Transmissions will not occur. |
A |
Responses |
Polled |
Responses from the device. |
|
|
Unsolicited |
Responses will increase every time a response for unsolicited communication is received even though transmission will not increase. |
|
Retries |
Polled |
Times a device has been retried. |
A |
|
Unsolicited |
Retries will not occur; unsolicited communication requires two transmission failures before a retry can occur. |
A |
Failures |
All |
Failures communicating to one or all devices. |
E |
Skipped Polls |
All |
Number of polls skipped when communicating to an Async device. |
Note: Transmissions, Responses, Retries Failures and Skipped Polls can also be found in diagnostic data for a device.
