Control System Analytics

Control system overview – Analytics

The Analytics page provides detailed information about the operational state and history of a control system. It is used for diagnostics, fault-finding, and verifying that the controller is operating reliably over time.

A site must have a valid analytics licence to view this data ( included in zencontrol basics)

You can access the Analytics view from:
Site > Grid view > Control system tab > right-click a control system > Control system overview > Analytics tab.

The following analytics are displayed.

Connection status

Connection status graph
Displays the connection state of the control system over time. The graph shows when the controller was:

• Disconnected

• Connected

• Rebooted

This helps identify patterns such as repeated disconnects, power issues, or reboot events.

Connection status table
Shows a log of each connection event, including:

• Occurred at – time of the event

• Last connected – previous connection time

• Is connected – current connection state

• Region – controller region (for example, Sydney)

• Disconnect reason – reason for the disconnect, such as firmware upgrade or server shutdown
  

Current profile

Current profile graph
Shows which profile the controller is operating under over time. This allows you to confirm when a profile was applied and how long it remained active.

Audit log

Audit log table
Lists significant control system actions, including:

• Firmware upgrades

• Stop emergency tests

• Factory resets

• Controller restarts

• Other special commands

Each entry records:

• Occurred at – time of the action

• Type – type of command or action

• User – who initiated the action (or system-generated)

• Metadata – additional details, such as tags or restore mode

This provides a clear audit trail for compliance and troubleshooting.

Commits

Commit log graph
Shows commit events on a timeline, allowing you to see when configuration changes were applied to the controller.

Commit log table
Provides detailed information about each commit, including:

• Occurred at – time of the commit

• Type – for example, “Start apply DALI commit” or “End apply DALI commit”

• User – who initiated the commit (for example, zencontrol system or a named user)

• Source – where the commit originated, such as the cloud
  

Together, these analytics give a comprehensive view of the control system’s connectivity, configuration changes, and operational history.
