Checking Thing Connection via Event Logs

In this section you may learn how you may check if your Monogoto SIM card (Thing) is connected to a network using Thing Event Logs.

Another very reliable, but more difficult method of checking if SIM card is connected to a network is to check out Thing Event Logs.

There are 2 main ways to check out Thing Event logs:

Checking Thing Events Logs via self-service console:

1. Login to the Monogoto portal.

2. Go to Things section of the portal.

3. Select a Thing from the list of seen Things in the portal.

4. Use scroll bar, to scroll down to the end of the Thing Menu page.

5. Check Events section of the Thing Menu page.

6. Search in Thing Menu newest events for one of the below provided examples:

Checking Thing Events Logs via an API command:

To view Thing Events logs, please use following request:

curl -X POST "https://console.monogoto.io/thing/searchCDR" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <<<_TOKEN_HERE_>>>" -d "{ \"ThingIdELK\": \"<<<_THING_ICCID_ID_>>>\", \"SeverityELK\": \"<<<_EVENT_SEVERITY_>>>\", \"gteTimestampELK\": \"<<<_GREATER_OR_EQUAL_TIMESTAMP_>>>\", \"ltTimestampELK\": \"<<<_LESS_TIMESTAMP_>>>\", \"EsDataTypeELK\": \"<<<_EVENT_DATA_TYPE_>>>\", \"MessageTypeELK\": \"s<<<_EVENT_MESSAGE_TYPE_>>>\", \"limit\": \"<<<_RESULTS_LIMIT_>>>\"}"

Please note that the above shown command needs to be replaced with information: <<<_TOKEN_HERE_>>> - replace with your token <<<_THING_ICCID_ID_>>> - replace with ThingId_ICCID_ABC, where ABC is your thing ICCID. Example: ThingId_ICCID_8912372646888991 <<<_EVENT_SEVERITY_>>> - replace with the severity of the Event you wish to be displayed. <<<_GREATER_OR_EQUAL_TIMESTAMP_>>> - replace with the timestamp of date/time to show greater or equal date/time Events. Please enter date/time in epoch format with milliseconds. You may use a converter that can be found following this link. <<<_LESS_TIMESTAMP_>>> - replace with the timestamp of date/time to show less than entered date/time Events. Please enter date/time in epoch format with milliseconds. You may use a converter that can be found following this link. <<<_EVEN_MESSAGE_TYPE_>>> - replace with the Event message type to be displayed. <<<_RESULTS_LIMIT_>>> - replace with how many results you want to be displayed. Default when not using this line is 10 results.

Please note that only API command lines <<<_TOKEN_HERE_>>> and <<<_THING_ICCID_ID_>>> are mandatory, others can be removed from API command if not needed

Example of request that will show last 50 Events for our Thing:

curl -X POST "https://console.monogoto.io/thing/searchCDR" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhb6IkpXVCJ9.eyJSb2xlIjoiVXN4lclByb2ZpbGVJZF9kZGM2MThhNC0wNTI1LTQ2MmUtYWN3NzhhMGQxYmbSI6Im4zgFkbWluIiwiQ3VzdG9tsbCwiVXNlcklkIjoiVklkXzg5Yj5Y2OGEyUtNDQThhLTEzZjA0MzJhZDE3YyINTAzgZmUtZGI51My00ZjRiLTktN2U5Yjc0ZWU1ZThlIiwiaWNzM3MjI5L2MDY3NTE2Mjl9.99aSLzP7kTgK6TZGW-xalrMu0GkW6viunt3XxbNng" -d "{ \"ThingIdELK\": \"ThingId_ICCID_8912372646888991\", \"limit\": \"50\"}"

Expected result will show 50 last Events for our Thing:
