Connectors
Health Monitoring
Monitor connector health status and troubleshoot connection issues.
Each connector in Fleetera tracks its current health status. This helps you identify connectivity issues and take corrective action before they affect data acquisition.
Health statuses
| Status | Color | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Unknown | Gray | Health has not been checked yet. This is the initial state for new connectors. |
| Healthy | Green | The connector is functioning normally. Data is flowing as expected. |
| Degraded | Yellow | The connector is operational but experiencing issues — for example, intermittent timeouts, partial data, or elevated latency. |
| Offline | Red | The connector is not reachable or not responding. No data is being collected. |
Where health is displayed
- Connectors list — a colored badge on each connector row
- Connector detail page — a status badge in the header and a health card in the overview showing the current status and last check timestamp
- Asset connectors tab — protocol badge with health indicator
How health is determined
Health status is updated by external systems — typically the edge gateway or monitoring infrastructure — via the platform API. The status reflects the most recent health check result.
The edge gateway's config agent monitors connectivity to data sources and reports status changes back to the platform.
Troubleshooting
Status: Offline
The connector cannot reach the data source. Common causes:
- Network connectivity — verify the edge gateway can reach the data source IP/hostname and port
- Endpoint misconfiguration — check that the endpoint address is correct (e.g.,
opc.tcp://hostname:4840/path) - Firewall rules — ensure the required ports are open between the edge gateway and the data source
- Data source down — verify the OPC UA server, Modbus device, or other data source is running
Status: Degraded
The connector is partially functional. Common causes:
- Intermittent network — the connection drops and reconnects periodically
- Timeout issues — the data source responds slowly, causing read timeouts
- Partial access — some data points are accessible while others return errors (e.g., security permissions)
- Resource constraints — the edge gateway or data source is under heavy load
Status: Unknown
Health has never been checked. This typically means:
- The edge gateway has not yet started monitoring this connector
- The deployment configuration has not been published to the edge
- The edge gateway is offline
General troubleshooting steps
- Check edge gateway status — verify the deployment is online in the Edge Gateway tab
- Verify endpoint — confirm the connector endpoint is correct and accessible from the edge network
- Check configuration sync — ensure the latest configuration has been published and applied
- Review edge logs — check the config agent and edge device service logs on the edge gateway for error details
- Test connectivity — for OPC UA connectors, use the OPC UA Discovery tool to test the connection independently
