SW-10 What equipment-health and activity record will help staff spot a quiet failure and understand what happened during an outage?

Start here · Questions · Progress · People decide

Why this matters

A screen can remain lit while its notices age, requests stop moving or power and storage run low. Staff need clear signs and a useful next step.

What to bring back

Design a privacy-conscious staff view showing notice age, confidence in the clock, waiting requests, storage, power, links, software edition and recent checks. Introduce faults and demonstrate detection, local record-keeping and a handover that tells the next operator what needs attention.

What we know so far

AI-generated potential answers

For discussion and review · research checked 2026-10-20. These are AI-generated options and transfer assessments. The user's request and research method identify the source of this work. The source catalogue states what the references establish. The decision and approval record retains its own status.

Show staff the last successful check of each essential function, its age and what remains unknown. Combine power, link, storage and clock observations with request and notice status. Preserve a local event history that helps the next operator diagnose an outage without exposing visitors.

Dated observations and end-to-end service checks

AI-generated adaptation of an existing pattern. Use a SensorThings-style observation record for equipment readings, and add a harmless test request and notice check. Distinguish a measured fault from a sensor or connection that has stopped reporting.

Research basis: OGC SensorThings API Standard.

An Aura prepares an evidence-linked shift brief

AI-generated future concept. Explore an assistant that summarises changed conditions and proposes the next permitted checks. Its brief would link original observations and uncertainty; staff would confirm interpretation and any delegated maintenance action.

Research basis: NIST AI Risk Management Framework 1.0: core functions.

Examples and local differences

  • OGC SensorThings API Standard: AI transfer assessment: Sensor metadata gives a reading context rather than an unexplained number. Local difference to check: Service health also includes expired notices, waiting work and staff availability, which sensors alone cannot establish.

Evidence to bring back next

  • Introduce a silent publisher, a stale sensor, a full disk and a stalled request while preserving local logs.
  • Check whether a relief operator identifies what failed and what is merely unconfirmed without opening private visitor content.

People and connected choices

Who reviews: Proposed operations lead and privacy lead (unconfirmed)

Connected questions: DAT-01, SW-02, SW-07, SW-09

Work state: open. Assigned person or AI assistant: Ready to be assigned.

Research and alternatives can move ahead while connected decisions develop. Before acting on a choice, check the people, evidence and approved scope in People decide.
