Dashboard and Device grouping

hello,

I’m after some advice on best practice ideas for visualising online/offline devices in the dashboard - as the dashboard shows all devices but our system will end up with many thousands of devices spread over multiple buildings/sites and we are trying to confirm easily which devices are online during deployment before the devices are added to our front end application (which is via service bus integration)

  • is there any way to filter devices in the devices list
  • to create some logical grouping of devices per site/building is it viable to create one application per site?
  • ive added some tags to the devices but out of the box dashboard does not allow filtering by device or tags?
  • gateways are not showing location on the map - how is this configured?
    thanks for any advice

You could accomplish this through the API: list applications → list devices for each application → get device for each device. This will give you the last_seen for each device and you could use that to determine what devices are on or offline.

This depends on your integrations, If you plan to just use the Azure service bus, this is a per application integration, and means that you would have to configure it for each application you have. Messy, but do-able, especially if you leverage the API.

Ideally you could use a global integration that is configured in your chirpstack.toml rather than the UI or API, you can view those in the [integration] section here: Configuration - ChirpStack open-source LoRaWAN® Network Server documentation.

Again you would have to use the API to retrieve the list of devices with a certain flag, the same way I already outlined

The GPS location is sent by the gateway, so it must be configured there if possible.
