Operations
Operations
The Operations section in Nexus is where you monitor and manage the operational state of your deployed devices and modules in real-time.
The Operations workspace is divided into two main areas:
Monitoring - Real-time insight into device status, module logs, and job history.
Alarms - Alerts and notifications for abnormal conditions, connectivity issues, or module errors.
Key Features
The Operations page equips you with powerful capabilities to manage, monitor, and respond to events across your Nexus environment:
Unified Device View – Browse all connected devices, their deployed modules, and current operational status in one place
Real-Time Monitoring – See live updates of device health, job executions, and module activity
Detailed Module Insights – Access module logs, configuration twins, and data connector details for in-depth analysis
Job Execution Tracking – Review the full execution history of File Jobs, FTP Jobs, and File Share Jobs, including logs, file counts, and transfer sizes
Direct Module Commands – Invoke module functionality instantly using the Commands tab (for Nexus SDK-enabled modules)
Centralized Alarm Management – Monitor, filter, and acknowledge alarms across the entire environment
Root Cause Analysis Tools – Leverage logs, alarms, and historical job data to identify and address operational issues quickly
Proactive Incident Response – Detect abnormal patterns early and take action before they escalate into service disruptions
Monitoring
The Monitoring area allows you to drill down into each connected device and view detailed status information. From here, you can:
See the list of devices in your environment and their performance, CPU, Memory and Disk usage
Inspect all modules deployed to a specific device, and assess module performance CPU and Memory usage
Access module-specific tools, such as:
Module Logs – Detailed runtime logs for debugging and status tracking
Twin View – Compare Desired vs. Reported module configurations
Commands – Send real-time commands to modules (if Nexus SDK-enabled)
Local Storage - Browse local storage of the Edge device
Data Connectors – Browse remote filebased data connectors
Jobs History – View execution history for scheduled jobs.
This is the main hub for real-time operational control and troubleshooting.
Alarms
The Alarms area centralizes all notifications for operational events that require your attention. Alarms are generated when Nexus detects conditions such as:
Device or module connectivity loss
Job failures or timeouts
Data transfer issues
Configuration mismatches
From the Alarms page, you can:
View active and historical alarms
Acknowledge or clear alarms once addressed
Filter alarms by severity, device, or time period
Use alarm details to diagnose root causes quickly
This ensures that operational teams can react promptly and effectively to any disruptions in the system.
Typical Use Cases
The Operations section is essential for:
Day-to-Day Device Monitoring – Keeping an eye on field-deployed devices and ensuring they are operating as expected
Troubleshooting Issues – Quickly identifying and resolving operational problems
Job and Data Flow Validation – Confirming that scheduled jobs are running successfully and data is moving as intended
Incident Response – Using alarms to detect and respond to critical situations
