Analytics Cube Diagnostics

Analytics Cube Diagnostics​

Screen Overview​

The Analytics Cube Diagnostics screen provides administrators with a consolidated view of all BluSKY analytics cubes and their operational status. Use this screen to verify schedules, monitor last/next executions, and perform administrative actions such as enable/disable, restart, sync, delete, or undelete cube jobs.

Field Definitions​

Field LabelDefinitionNotes
Status (filter)Dropdown used to filter the grid by cube status (e.g., All, Scheduled, Completed).Filter applies to the results list immediately after selection.
Cube IDSystem-generated unique identifier for the cube.Read-only. Useful for support and API/reference lookups.
NameHuman-readable name of the analytics cube.Examples: Alarm Event Cube, People Counts Over Time, Person Consolidated Cube.
StatusCurrent state of the cube job.Color-coded: green typically indicates Completed; yellow indicates Scheduled (queued).
DisableIndicates whether the cube’s schedule is disabled.true = scheduling is off; the cube will not run on its schedule.
DeletedIndicates whether the cube has been soft-deleted.true = hidden from normal processing; can be restored with Undelete.
Next scheduleThe next date/time when the cube is planned to execute.Blank or “-” if no schedule exists or the cube is disabled/deleted.
Last ExecutedThe most recent date the cube successfully ran.Read-only. Displays date (and time where available).

Screen Actions and Functions​

  • Enable – Turns scheduling back on for the selected cube(s).
  • Disable – Turns scheduling off for the selected cube(s); they will not run until re-enabled.
  • Restart – Immediately re-queues the selected cube(s) for the next run.
  • Sync – Forces a metadata/configuration sync for the selected cube(s).
  • History – Opens the execution history for the selected cube(s).
  • Delete – Soft-deletes the selected cube(s); does not permanently remove historical data.
  • Undelete – Restores previously deleted cube(s) to an active state.

Usage Instructions & Examples​

How to review cube health

  1. Use the Status filter to select Scheduled or Completed.
  2. Scan the Status column colors and values to confirm cubes are running as expected.
  3. Check Next schedule to ensure future runs are planned; review Last Executed for recent activity.

How to disable a cube’s schedule

  1. Select the row for the desired cube.
  2. Click Disable.
  3. Confirm the action. The Disable column will show true and Next schedule will be blank or “-”.

How to restart a cube that is stuck or behind

  1. Select the cube row.
  2. Click Restart.
  3. Monitor Status; when queued and executed, Last Executed will update after completion.

How to restore a deleted cube

  1. Set the filter to All (if not already).
  2. Select the cube with Deleted = true.
  3. Click Undelete, then click Enable if you want the schedule to resume.

How to view run history

  1. Select one or more cubes.
  2. Click History to open execution details, timestamps, and outcomes.

System Behaviors and Edge Cases​

  • The first column header may display a selection counter (e.g., 0/42) indicating selected/total rows.
  • Status coloring provides at-a-glance health:
    • Green = Completed (last run successful).
    • Yellow = Scheduled (waiting for next run or currently queued).
  • When Disable = true, the system will not schedule future executions; Next schedule will be blank or “-”.
  • If Deleted = true, the cube is excluded from normal scheduling and must be Undeleted before it can be Enabled.
  • Bulk actions (Enable, Disable, Restart, Sync, Delete, Undelete) apply to all selected rows.
  • Some cubes may not display a Next schedule if they are event-driven or run on demand.
  • History is read-only and may include both successful and failed attempts with timestamps.

Permissions​

  • Accessible to Global Administrators and Tenant Administrators.
  • Performing Enable, Disable, Restart, Sync, Delete, or Undelete requires manage-level permissions for Analytics Cubes.
  • Users with view-only access can filter and review cube statuses but cannot perform actions.

Linked Workflows​

  • Intelligence dashboards – Validate that cube updates are reflected in analytics and reports after runs complete.
  • Scheduler/Jobs monitoring – Review broader job queues if cubes do not start as expected.
  • System Logs – Investigate errors when cube Status does not progress or History shows failures.
