Spartakus APM V.6: What’s New in the Asset Health Report

At the core of Spartakus APM is Asset Health, designed to centralize and consolidate results from preventive and predictive maintenance, providing a comprehensive overview of your assets’ condition. While it excels at delivering these insights, our customers have highlighted opportunities for improvement, particularly in tracking trends, historical results, and managing alert comments over extended periods.

With our latest update, we aim to simplify Asset Health Monitoring over time by introducing clearer insights, easy access to historical results and improved visualization capabilities. These enhancements empower our customers to better understand asset performance, monitor trends, and make data-driven decisions about alerts and overall asset management.

Here are the top enhancements that come with the Spartakus APM V.6 Health Report:

This enhancement improves the ability to detect gradual changes, predict potential issues, and implement strategies that align with the full lifecycle of critical assets.

3. Alert-Linked Historical Results

Users can now access detailed historical data tied to specific alerts, offering a complete picture of each issue. Instead of relying solely on recent data, teams can review past occurrences, identify recurring patterns, and analyze long-term trends associated with critical alerts. This enhanced visibility helps pinpoint root causes and supports more informed, strategic decision-making.

4. Comprehensive Alert Comments

With V.6, you can now review all comments associated with an alert. This enhancement ensures that critical insights, discussions, and historical context remain accessible to your team, including the current status and resolution progress of an alert. By preserving the full conversation history, teams can better understand the progression of an issue, including its resolution state, avoid redundant actions, and make more informed decisions based on a complete record of past input.

5. Improved Graphical Representations

Spartakus APM V.6 introduces improved user interface for the asset health report, including new graphing capabilities that enhance the visualization of component health changes over time. These graphs allow you to easily identify patterns and shifts in performance, making it simpler to spot emerging issues early. By offering a clear, visual representation of asset health trends, the graphs help users focus on components that require attention, whether for long-term performance tracking or validating the impact of maintenance strategies.
