Monitoring
Vantage provides real-time monitoring capabilities through dashboard tiles and workflow nodes designed to track events, activities, and key metrics as they happen.
Event Monitoring Tiles
Vantage includes several dashboard tile types specifically designed for monitoring:
| Tile Type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Event Monitor | Displays a live feed of events matching configurable criteria |
| Event Feed | Shows a chronological stream of events with details |
| Event Map | Plots events geographically on an interactive map |
| Event Trends | Visualizes event frequency and patterns over time |
| Activity Timeline | Displays a vertical timeline of activities and milestones |
| Timeline | Horizontal timeline for scheduling and event visualization |
Configuring Event Tiles
- Add an event-type tile to your dashboard from the Tile Library.
- Configure the data source — connect to a database, integration, or workflow output.
- Map your data fields to the tile's expected inputs (event name, timestamp, category, location, etc.).
- Set refresh interval for real-time updates.
Monitoring with Workflows
Workflows can power continuous monitoring by combining triggers with data processing:
Schedule-Based Monitoring
- Schedule Trigger — Run every N minutes to check for new events
- Database Query or Integration Node — Fetch the latest data
- Filter — Isolate records that meet alert criteria
- Multi-Conditional — Route critical vs. informational events
- Send Email / Send Message — Alert the team
AI-Powered Monitoring
- AI Trigger — Start the workflow when AI detects a specific pattern
- AI Enrichment — Classify events by severity or category
- Dashboard Output — Update monitoring tiles in real time
GDELT News & Event Monitoring
The GDELT integration provides access to global news and event data:
- Event Search — Search the GDELT database for events matching criteria (region, topic, time range)
- Event Monitor — Watch for specific event types in real time
- GKG Search — Query the Global Knowledge Graph for entity-level analysis
- Trend Timeline — Visualize event trends over time
These nodes are available in the Workflow Editor under the GDELT category.
Metrics & KPI Tracking
For ongoing KPI monitoring, use these tile types:
| Tile | Best For |
|---|---|
| Stat | Single number with a label (e.g., "Open Tickets: 42") |
| Metric | KPI with sparkline, trend indicator, and comparison |
| Summary | AI-generated narrative summary of data trends |
| Comparison | Side-by-side period comparison with change calculations |
All metric tiles support AI summaries that automatically explain what the data shows and flag anomalies.
