Checks Management

Checks are automated tests that evaluate the health of your data. They're defined once and run continuously by Osprey's scanners.

Built-in Check Types:

Check Type Description
Freshness Has the value updated within the expected interval?
Bad Data Does the tag or attribute have a current status of Bad?
PercentGood Does the tag have a bad value during the scan period?
No Data Is the tag or attribute missing data?
Value is Pt Created Is the value of the tag Pt Created
Value is Configure Is the value of the tag Configure
Duplicate Tag Does the tag have the same point source, location1, and instrument tag fields as another tag
Reference Tag does not exist Does the AF Element Attribute reference a non-existent tag
Overcompression Is the tag's CompDevPercent > 1% and span > 100
Undercompression Is the tag's Compressing turned off
Contains Bad Data Does a display contain bad data

Creating and Assigning Checks

In addition to built-in checks, you can create checks from any asset page (applies the check directly) and assign a pass/fail status

Interpreting Check Results

Each check result includes:

  • Pass / Warning / Fail status

  • Timestamp of evaluation

  • Issue duration

You can view check results:

  • On the asset page (per-check, per-scan)

  • From the issue search page

  • In dashboards (aggregated across assets)

Failed checks generate issues automatically.
