Real-Time Telemetry & Data Pipeline
KpiX ingests, processes, and delivers sensor data from your entire device fleet - live, at scale, with no polling required.
Live Telemetry
Every connected asset streams its latest sensor readings to the KpiX cloud in real time. The platform:
- Shows the latest telemetry value for any asset instantly
- Streams live data to web and mobile dashboards via WebSocket (SignalR) - no page refresh, no polling
- Provides access to raw telemetry messages for detailed inspection and debugging
Historical Telemetry
Go back in time across any property, any asset, any time range:
| Query Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Full history | Detailed inspection with flexible time filters |
| Downsampled | Efficient long-range charting without loading millions of points |
| Aggregated (min/max/avg) | Trend analysis and performance benchmarking |
| Cold storage | Long-term archival data beyond the standard retention window |
Data Retention
Retention periods are configurable per application:
| Plan | Retention |
|---|---|
| Free (trial) | 7 days |
| Essentials | 35 days |
| Pro | 90 days |
| Premier | Custom |
Data is automatically partitioned for high-volume, high-performance querying. Partition lifecycle is managed automatically in line with your retention policy.
Additional Message Types
Beyond standard telemetry, KpiX captures:
- Heartbeat messages - device connectivity health pulses
- Battery level - battery-powered asset charge status
- Device logs & error streams - on-device event logs
- Configuration change history - an audit trail of every config push
- Custom message types - non-standard payloads from specialised hardware
Key Benefits
- Zero-latency delivery - SignalR pushes data the moment it arrives, no polling needed
- Flexible querying - raw, sampled, or aggregated - whatever the use case requires
- Retention policy - configurable per application, automatically enforced
- Custom message support - any device, any payload
