Asset Profiles
Asset profiles let you centrally define common settings for a group of similar assets — rule chain and queue. Instead of configuring each asset individually, you define the profile once and assign it to as many assets as needed.
Managing Profiles
Section titled “Managing Profiles”Create a Profile
Section titled “Create a Profile”- Navigate to Profiles → Asset profiles.
- Click + and select Create new asset profile.
- Enter a Name (the only required field).
- Optionally configure the rule chain and queue.
- Click Add.
Edit a Profile
Section titled “Edit a Profile”- Click the profile name or the pencil icon.
- Update the desired settings across any tab.
- Click Apply changes.
Delete a Profile
Section titled “Delete a Profile”Click the trash icon next to the profile and confirm deletion.
Profile Details
Section titled “Profile Details”Clicking a profile opens a details panel with the following tabs:
| Tab | Contents |
|---|---|
| Details | Profile name, default dashboard, rule chain, and queue |
| Calculated Fields | Formulas for computing derived metrics from asset telemetry or attributes |
| Alarm Rules | Conditions, severity levels, and actions applied to all assets in this profile |
| Audit Log | History of user actions performed on this profile |
| Version Control | Git-based export and restore for backup and collaboration |
Key Settings
Section titled “Key Settings”Default Rule Chain
Section titled “Default Rule Chain”By default, the Root Rule Chain processes all incoming messages and events for every asset. As your system grows and you introduce different asset types, the Root Rule Chain can become complex.
Assign a dedicated rule chain to an asset profile to isolate processing logic — attribute updates and lifecycle events (Created/Updated/Deleted) — for that asset type without overloading the Root Rule Chain.
By default, all messages use the Main queue. Assign a custom queue to isolate high-priority assets from high-volume ones, or to apply different submit and processing strategies.
Alarm Rules
Section titled “Alarm Rules”Define conditions that apply to all assets in this profile — for example, trigger a Critical alarm when a computed value exceeds a threshold. Rules defined here are shared across every asset using the profile. See Alarm Rules.
