Device Connectivity

Two metrics are reported on the device summary page to indicate how often a device is reconnecting and delivering data to the Golioth platform.

MetricMeaning
Session EstablishedIndicates the time at which a device most recently established a secure channel on Golioth.
Last ReportIndicates the last time at which data was received from a device.

In many cases, it is ideal for the Session Established timestamp to significantly lag the Last Report timestamp, as that indicates that a device is able to maintain a given session for an extended period of time. However, evaluating the duration between the two metrics at any single time does not necessarily indicate that a device is frequently reconnecting.

Rate Limiting

Devices are rate-limited at 20 requests per second. When passing frequent readings from a single device to Golioth, it is recommend to send in batches. Batch streaming data can be disaggregated during Data Routing using the batch destination.

Payload Size

It is recommend to limit your payload size to 1024 bytes. Using larger payloads may result in IP fragmentation which can cause unwanted retransmissions.
