Monitor telemetry in real time - Sift

After completing this workflow, you can use Live mode to watch telemetry populate your Panels in real time as it streams into Sift, without waiting for the Run to complete, so you can monitor system health, track signal behavior, or catch anomalies as they happen.

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. Panel Sync is compatible with Live mode. When both are active, all synced Panels advance together as new data streams in.

Monitor current state with the Stat panel

The Stat panel displays the most recent value for each channel as a tile, updating on the 1-second tick in Live mode. Use it alongside Timeseries panels to watch current state while retaining the ability to scrub back when something looks wrong.
