How are data fed into Senfi

The following diagram gives you an overview of how data is processed and stored into Senfi after it is received from Connectors, and how Senfi's Expression engine and computed measurement is used to setup automated alerting and actions.

A typical usage follows this pattern:

  1. Data is fed to Senfi and ingested.
  2. Valid data* is saved.
  3. Data can also be used to calculate computed measurements.
  4. You can make use of live incoming measurement, computed measurement, or historical measurement in your expressions.
  5. You can also configure actions to be taken when an expression is evaluated to be true. Or when an Expression output goes from true to false. You can make use of webhooks to integrate with your existing systems.
*At any point in time, if the system encounters an unexpected condition or error (eg. due to invalid data), it will generate a log. These log entries can be examined in the CMS under debugger.
