Overview

Now that you’ve created a Rule, let’s explore Reports, a built-in way to review how your Rules evaluated telemetry during a Run, inspect the Annotations they generated, and assess the overall health and behavior of your system.

​
What are Reports

Reports provide a consolidated view of how the Rules configured for an Asset evaluated telemetry during a Run, including the Annotations they generated and their current status. Annotations are markers that Sift creates when a Rule condition is met. They highlight an exact moment in your telemetry data.

​
Create a Report

Let’s create a Report for our created Run.
  1. Click Sift.
  2. In the Run name or description box, enter the name of the Run created in Tutorial 1.
    • For example: fl_tutorial_1_run
  3. In the Runs table, click your Run.
  4. Click Create Report.
  5. Click the Rules tab.
  6. In the Rules table, click the Rule you created.
    • For example: fl_tutorial_4_rule
  7. Click Evaluate.

​
Open generated Report

After a few seconds, the report should be ready. Let’s open it.
  1. Click Sift.
  2. Click the Reports tab.
  3. In the Report name box, enter the name of the Run created in Tutorial 1.
    • For example: fl_tutorial_1_run
  4. In the Reports table, click the name of the created Run.
In a Report, you can assign trigger Annotations to specific users, or you can comment on them to enable further discussion with others. For example:
  1. In the Rules section, click 14:21:36.
  2. Optional: In the Assigned to list, assign a user to the generated Annotation.
  3. Optional: In the Comments and logs box, enter a comment for the generated Annotation.
