Symptoms

Symptoms are the core abstraction that transforms raw telemetry into actionable operational intelligence. Understanding symptoms is essential to leveraging ModularIoT’s full capabilities.

What is a Symptom?

A symptom represents a detected condition in your fleet that may require attention. Unlike simple alerts, symptoms are stateful, trackable, and designed for operational workflows.

Key Characteristics

  • Stateful - Symptoms have a lifecycle (detected, acknowledged, resolved)
  • Severity-aware - Conditions can escalate or de-escalate over time
  • Actionable - Each symptom maps to a potential operator response
  • Traceable - Full audit trail from detection to resolution
