Inactivity

Inactivity triggers when a tag hasn't reported a position for a specified duration.

How it works

The system tracks when each tag last reported a position. If the time since the last update exceeds the threshold, the rule triggers. This catches tags that have gone offline, lost power, or moved out of hotspot range.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
max_inactive_duration_seconds integer No 3600 Maximum time without a position update before triggering (default: 1 hour)

Example: tag offline alert

Alert when any tag hasn't reported for 2 hours:

  • Max inactive duration: 7,200 seconds (2 hours)
  • Severity: High
  • Apply to: All tags

Common causes of inactivity

  • Tag battery depleted
  • Tag moved out of hotspot coverage
  • Hotspot offline or disconnected
  • Tag powered off
