Runs
The Runs section lists every time window of recorded telemetry in your workspace. Each Run represents a discrete session during which data was captured from an Asset (a test, a flight, an experiment, etc.). From the Runs list, you can:- Browse and search for Runs by name or metadata
- Open a Run to visualize it in Explore
Assets
The Assets section shows the physical or virtual systems in your workspace that produce telemetry. An Asset groups together all the Runs, Annotations, User Groups, and Rules associated with a particular machine or system. Browse Assets to understand what data is available in your workspace and to find the Runs associated with a specific system.Explore
Explore is Sift’s main workspace for visualizing and analyzing telemetry data. When you open a Run, it opens in Explore, where you can add Panels, plot Channels, run calculations, and compare behavior across tests. Explore is where most hands-on analysis happens. Use it to investigate signals, identify patterns, and build the evidence behind your findings.Rules
The Rules section is where you create and manage the logical conditions that automatically evaluate your telemetry. A Rule watches for a specific pattern (a threshold breach, an anomaly, a state transition, etc.) and flags it when found. From the Rules section, you can create new Rules, preview them against existing Runs, and manage versions as your detection logic evolves.Reports
Reports are structured summaries of how your Rules evaluated a Run. After a Rule runs against telemetry, you can generate a Report to capture what triggered, what the data showed, and what the current status is. Use Reports to communicate findings consistently across your team and to close the loop on issues you’ve identified.Calculated Channels
The Calculated Channels section is where you create and manage derived signals: new metrics built from one or more existing Channels using expressions. Calculated Channels let you define a computation once and reuse it across analyses.The Manage section
The Manage section covers workspace administration. This is where you handle:- API keys: create and manage keys for programmatic access to Sift
- Access control: manage who can see and interact with data in your workspace
- Metadata: define the key-value pairs used to organize and filter Runs and Assets
- Webhooks: configure outbound notifications for Rule events
