A fixed profile is where recent data is compared with very specific thresholds that have been manually set to determine whether the recent usage might be suspect. Depending on the period being monitored will control the granularity that the check is being performed (i.e. hourly, daily or monthly). A number of units for each time interval is specified, and if the actual usage breaches that, then the exception will be raised. This is often referred to as "spike" or "drop" identification.

For example:

  • check overnight consumption against a sensitive values to determine whether a low volume of energy is being used overnight as expected
  • check monthly consumption against an outline budget that was set at the start of a financial year.

Fixed Profile Configuration

The bottom section allows you to set the specific fixed profile configuration to use when finding and managing your data.


FieldDefaultDescription
Period to MonitorDay

This controls the granularity at which the data will be checked against the thresholds that have been set. The options available are:

  • Year - this allows specific thresholds to be set for each month of the year
  • Week - this allows specific thresholds to be set for each day of the week
  • Day - this allows specific thresholds to be set for each hour of the day
Low ThresholdTickedA tickbox to indicate whether a low thresholds should be performed. This checks whether the recent data drops below the specified thresholds.
High ThresholdTickedA tickbox to indicate whether a low thresholds should be performed. This checks whether the recent data spikes above the specified thresholds.
Threshold MatrixAll values 0

This matrix will change depending on the Period to Monitor selected.

It is where the acceptable low and/or high threshold values are entered for the period of time being monitored (i.e. month of the year, day of the week, or hour of the day).

Raise a notification after X consecutive breaches1

This setting allows you to control how sensitive the check is and whether it should only alert you if the issue is a consistent problem.

For example, you maybe performing a check for each day of the week. You might only want it to tell you if a problem is found 2 days in a row, in this case this would be set to "2" and it will only raise notifications if the tolerances are exceeded on two consecutive days.
