Marathon Update Release February 9, 2021¶

Highlights¶

Event List enhancements¶

Powerful Search Grammar¶

Searching based on comment activity

• commented:self - user has commented on the event
• tagged:self - user has been tagged in a comment on the event
• has:comments - event with comments

Searching based on dates and durations

• after:{date} - event started after provided date (e.g. after:9/1/2020).
• before:{date} - event started before provided date (e.g. before:9/1/2020).

• duration:{expression} - event that lasted a certain amount of time.

  Examples:

  • duration:>=5minutes - greater than or equal to 5 minutes
  • duration:1hour - if no operator is given, the fuzzy ~ operator is implied, meaning “close to”
  • duration:~1hour - appx. 1 hour in length
  • duration:<1week - less than 1 week

Event List Export as CSV¶

We now provide an export of the current Event List search results as a CSV file through a link in the upper-right corner of the search results. Moreover, this file includes a URL that allows one to log directly into the Event Details page for that event. To do so, after logging into Marathon, open up a new Chrome tab and copy/paste the URL into the browser address field.

Rapid Time-To-Value¶

• General: phasing in of tags, assets, models, and events moving towards a more scalable (i.e. rapid product configuration) structure with corresponding definitions templated at asset type level

• Move from manual creation of all asset types & assets to discover-and-approve-based workflow:

  • Tag discovery enhanced with introduction of parsing rules based on OPC tag ID
  • Parsing auto generates asset type hierarchies and corresponding asset hierarchies
  • Configuration persona approves discovered assets before them being displayed to end users

• Ability to change display units of received tags by asset type

  • Common dimensions and units supported: power, volume, rate, pressure, temperature, percent, etc.

• Additional phasing in of asset type-level definitions to be rolled out in the coming weeks:

  • Event definition templates
  • Auto-creation and configuration persona approval of model execution schedules
  • Asset type-based model training and hosting to support model delivery integration into scalable Marathon components

Sundry¶

• Link to online help - from the profile icon in the black banner we now provide end user online help
• Extensive Asset and Event search 'plumbing' improvements - which set the stage for an upcoming release which includes a graphical search dialog box to allow search without typing search grammar

Fixes¶

• Event Details -- performance improvement when searching for colleague’s name when tagging in Comment feature and when typing comments in general
• Time-Series charting -- Tool tip “cut offs” limited/reduced as you hover over tag trendlines

Known Issues¶

• Chart date manual entry of year/month/day numbers for sets graph to first key entry. Workaround: For double-digit entries, re-enter numbers to achieve a two-digit date part.
