Inactivity

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

How it works

The system tracks when each device last reported a position. If the time since the last update exceeds the threshold, the rule triggers. This catches devices 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: device offline alert

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

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

Common causes of inactivity

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