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.
