Search Analysis
Using search analysis
Using
[SEARCHES] > [ANALYSIS]
, the Ardexa Web App provides you a visualisation tool to plot your statistical results generated from your searches.
The following will step you through the process of building an analysis plot.
Note: Analysis can only be built against numerical data type fields.
Select the
[ANALYSIS]
tab and enable analysis via Enable
checkbox. This allows you to begin building your analysis plot.
We have to generate some search results for our analysis, so we run a search to get some results. All the search input parameters will be used to generate the data that the Analysis plot will be built from.
When you first run a search via the
button, the

[TABLE]
tab may be selected and the search results will be presented to you in the table format; switch over to the [ANALYSIS]
tab. Select the
[Output]
to expand the Analysis output parameters if they are hidden. This is where you will define what the Analysis chart will draw and how it will be display. 
Field
- Select a numerical field type from the drop-down list.
- If you don't see an expected field it will likely mean the field has not be defined correctly in your Ardexa device's metadata.
Per device
- This checkbox allows you to limit an analysis to be applied per device where a data set is built from more than one source.
Type
- Typically all data is captured against date and time.
Interval
day
orhour
- the finer the granularity of data being used in the evaluation will affect app responsiveness.day
- faster,hour
- slower.
Visualize
- Select the statistical formula you would like to apply over your search results.
The
[Customization settings]
are further parameters provided to help you sharpen your Analysis plot. Further descriptions on the available options are provided under STATS
here.
Force
Minimum
and Maximum
chart limits.- Out of the box, the VIZ will automatically chart your data and provide you a
y-axis
that best suits your data for the graph. However, you may want to chart based on fixed periods, for example in units of 10s, in which case you would select a Minimum of0
and a Maximum of100
.
Chart scrollbar
- An instant on/off toggle provides you the means of condensing or expanding the graphed period of your search results. For example, say you see an interesting pattern in a period of you graphed search data, using the toggle you can can zoom-in and just focus on that period.
