When data is actively streaming into Sift, Live mode lets you watch telemetry populate your Panels in real time without waiting for a Run to complete. This is useful for monitoring system health during a test, tracking signal behavior as it happens, or catching anomalies the moment they occur.

​
Before you begin

  • You have an active data stream sending telemetry to Sift.
    • See Stream for supported ingestion mechanisms.
  • You know the name of the Run being created by your stream.

​
How Live mode works

Live mode monitors real-time telemetry as it streams into Sift. All Panel types support Live mode. You can configure how frequently Panels refresh and how the screen updates as new data arrives.

​

  1. In Sift’s homepage, enter the Run name in the Run name or description field.
  2. In the Runs table, click the Run.
  3. Click Explore.
  4. Select a Panel type to add to the workspace.
  5. In the Channels tab, click or drag a Channel onto the Panel to plot it.
  6. Click Live.
  7. Optional: In the Refresh every 1s list, select how frequently your Panels refresh.
  8. Optional: In the Smooth Scroll list, select how the Panels update as new data arrives.
