The Data Lens page in Skylar Advisor lets you view details about the Skylar One events that have been received by Skylar Advisor. These inbound events are grouped together by relevance and listed on the Signals tab.

When grouping events for the Signals tab, Skylar Advisor performs semantic event correlation to group together related events based on how it understood the events. Skylar Advisor also considers related attributes like device groups.

Not all events are listed on this page, but just related events organized and grouped by Skylar Advisor.

The Signals Tab

By default, the Data Lens page displays the Signals tab, which contains a list of signals: a group of correlated events from your monitored environment that need you to review or triage. These signals can be rolled up into an Investigation. 

You can also look at the Signal/Noise tab on the Customer Insights page ( > Advisor > Customer Insights > Signal/Noise) to view the ratio of "signal to noise," or the amount of useful data versus the amount of unhelpful data generated in this account by Skylar Advisor. Signals can become Advisories, Investigations, or Predictions. The middle of the Signal/Noise tab includes a visual Sankey chart that displays the different types of useful signals versus the noise generated. You can also track the estimated savings as a result of the noise reduction in Skylar Advisor.

Events are listed on the Data Lens page with the most recent events at the top. You can adjust the Date Filter drop down to change the time frame of the events. For more information, see Filtering the Data Lens Page .

In the list of events, the up arrow icon () to the left of a event indicates the event is part of a group. Click the up arrow icon () to view the related events that make up the group.

Click an event on the Data Lens page to open a Summary pane on the right with more information. If you want to dig deeper into that event, click the Start Investigation button on the pane to generate a new Investigation activity. You will then be able to interact with and share the Investigation.

The Events Tab

If you enable the Data Lens Events option from the Preview Features page ( > Account Settings > Preview Features), the Data Lens page will include an [Events] tab that displays a table of all events.
