Settings and configuration

Your Explorer for DataHub instance requires management to deliver optimal performance. Configuration controls what data flows into your system and how efficiently your queries perform - like tuning a system to get the clearest analytical signal.

Understanding your system's health

The System Health dashboard shows your instance's current operational status. Check these indicators before making configuration changes.

• Database Healthy confirms your data storage systems are responding properly.

• Streaming Low indicates current real-time data ingestion rates - this varies naturally based on fleet activity and operational hours.

Performance metrics explained

• Database Size shows current storage utilization and grows as your fleet operates over time.

• Open Connections indicates active users or queries accessing your data - higher numbers during business hours are normal.

• Inserts per Minute reflects real-time data ingestion from active vehicles - rates vary based on fleet operational patterns.

Configuring data processing

Your PTL Configuration panel shows your Dealer ID and Client ID, confirming your Navixy account context.

Historical data loading

This feature is provided on demand. Use Run History Load when automatic synchronization encounters issues or after changing data processing settings. The slider ranges up to 30 days - choose timeframes that represent meaningful operational patterns for your analysis.

Larger timeframes provide more historical context but require more processing time and storage. Processing runs in the background with progress shown in the upper-right corner.

Optimizing data categories

Control which telematics data types your system processes to balance performance with analytical capabilities.

Data category selection

• Tracking Data (always enabled) provides GPS coordinates, speed, and movement events - the foundation for all fleet analysis.

• Inputs captures sensor readings like fuel levels and temperature - enable for maintenance analysis and operational monitoring.

• States records device status including ignition and operational modes - useful for detailed activity analysis.

Choosing your configuration

Configuration	Query response	Storage cost	Use case
Tracking only	Fast (1-2s)	Low	Basic fleet monitoring
Tracking + Inputs	Medium (2-5s)	Medium	Maintenance analysis
All Categories	Slower (5-10s)	High	Comprehensive analysis

Applying changes
