Upon login, you'll notice the UDM dashboard has 3 tools built right into it, an AMI Performance Graph, a UDM Performance Graph and a Message center.
AMI Performance
The AMI Performance graph gives you a look at the daily read performance of your AMI system. This dashboard can report based on register read performance or load profile performance and give you a quick way to see how your mesh is reading and whether or not there are performance issues.
By default, this dashboard is a pie graph but can be switched to a table view as well, making a copy of this table chart is also available in a CSV file.
AMI Filters
Placed just above the graph you can see 4 filters to narrow down your results, the following are the filters along with a brief explanation of each.
AMI Type - This is where you can select whether you'd like to view your meters by the reading schedule or the collector/gatekeeper view.
Reading Type - You have two options, Register Reads (Needs a Register read in the last 24 hours to be considered read.) and Load Profile (Requires 50% or more intervals for the last 24 hours to be considered read.).
Report Days - Expand or reduce the range of dates used to calculate the AMI Performance. Each day is +24 Hours.
Date - The amount of days the AMI Performance is using to surface.
The billing cycle options are to the left of the graph, these let you select between specific groupings of meters based on the synchronization data we have been provided.
To the left of the graph you'll find the billing cycle filter, this allows you to look at the groupings of meters that are billed together based on the synchronization data Utilismart is provided.
Meters Not Read
In the AMI Performance dashboard there is an option to look at the Unread Meters. It is the fourth button just above the graph.
In the Meters Not Read section, there is a color coded pie chart. The colors are assigned according to how long the meter has been left unread. 1-2 Days are blue, 3-4 Days are green, 5-6 Days are yellow, 7-9 Days are orange, 10-29 are red, 30+ are black.
UDM Performance
The UDM Performance chart gives you a better look into the read performance and read quality. The UDM performance graph breaks down the reads by quality with categories such as Devices Read, Completed with VEE, Missing Data/Gaps and Devices Not Read. This graph can also be exported into a CSV file.
Filters
UDM Performance has the same filters as AMI Performance, minus reading type. Below are all UDM filters and how they work.
Meter Type - You may select the specific meter type that will be shown or leave it as "All" to see the entire meter population.
Report Days - Can be used to expand the range of dates used to calculate the AMI Performance, everyday is 24+ hours.
Date - The amount of days the AMI Performance is using to surface.
Message Center
The message center is located along the bottom of the dashboard. This is where alerts and events from AMI meters can be found. Events are updated daily based on alarms received from the AMI headend system.
You can filter these messages in a couple ways which include : Start/End Date (The date range in which the message center is using to surface), Specific Events (Gives you a view of which meters experienced a specific event/alarm notification), All Events By Meter Tab (Gives the user a view of which events/alarms are experienced per meter) and Severity (This can be configured by you in the meter alarm settings within UDM).
