Runs
Overview
Runs in Sift represent defined time windows during which data is captured from one or more Assets. They serve as discrete periods for grouping time-series data, enabling focused analysis and meaningful comparisons across operational scenarios. By organizing telemetry into Runs, users can isolate specific events, tests, or missions, making it easier to investigate patterns, assess performance, and diagnose anomalies within a contextual timeframe.
Multipanel
Runs can be analyzed in a multipanel view, a feature of Sift designed to support detailed inspection of time series data across multiple Channels and Assets within a single Run. This interface is useful for both historical review and live data monitoring.
Each multipanel view is scoped to a specific Run and supports displaying up to eight independent chart panels. Within each panel, users can plot multiple Channels and configure them to appear on either the left or right Y-axis. The view is fully customizable, including panel layout (one or two columns), Channel axis configuration, and legend behavior.
Multipanel does not modify Run data. It provides a flexible, session-based environment for exploring telemetry in real time or during post-analysis.
File attachments
Runs support file attachments as part of the Metadata section. These attachments are stored alongside the Run and can include any file type. Uploaded files remain associated with the specific Run and can be viewed or downloaded as needed. Sift supports in-platform viewing for a limited set of file types:
| Attachment Type | Supported Format |
|---|---|
| Image | .png, .jpg, .jpeg |
| Video | .mp4, .webm |
All other file types can still be uploaded and downloaded but must be viewed externally. Attachments do not modify the Run and serve purely as supplemental metadata.
The maximum file size for a single upload is 30GB. There is no enforced limit on the number of files.
