It appears that within the last 24 hours something has changed in the End Device console and I now see an additional line:
This is making it more difficult for us to compare data output from our end devices visually.
I’m not sure where this additional line has come from or why it’s suddenly here, but it’s not providing any information I need and doesn’t appear to have a way of removing it.
I now have 3 colleagues experiencing this new line and we are all taking longer to evaluate our data as a result.
We do have other options ofcoarse, but visual inspection on the console is significantly faster and easier than the other options we have in place.
Everyone. It wasn’t in the release notes but it was in the last release.
Not on the TTS console which isn’t designed for anything other than debug / device management.
If you tell us more about what you mean by “compare data output” we may be able to point you towards a better solution - let us know what you’ve tried so far.
I have a version of the Live Data console that reads the very same event stream that can then be tailored to display exactly whatever I want. The starting point is on the forum somewhere, I’ll try & find the link.
We are comparing analogue data values as they come in during desk testing scenarios to validate we are getting correct output.
It’s a very simple and straight process that could be done other ways, but the console is the fastest (and easiest) way to see the data as it comes in so we know what we did to get that data when changing conditions every 30 seconds or so.
It would be great to have a look into tailoring what is displayed, we could remove the more technical details that our testers don’t need to see, make it even easier to follow.
We recently introduced some technical changes to how events are filtered in the Console. It unfortunately temporarily forced us to show some event types that we didn’t show before, after discovering an issue. We are working on changing this so that the Successfully processed data message and similar messages will not be shown by default again.
Also, as @descartes has pointed out, the live data view is meant as a way to monitor live data and not to source long-term data (since due to the verbosity of the data stream, your browser will eventually run out of memory). For sourcing long-term or historical event data, we have other functionality such as webhooks or the storage integration.
