Flight line equipment uptime monitoring

Purpose

 1.1. Actively monitor operational status and uptime for all flight line equipment to ensure uninterrupted Air Force base operations.
 1.2. Provide real-time failure alerts, predictive maintenance triggers, and historical uptime reporting.
 1.3. Enable automated escalation, equipment status dashboarding, and compliance auditing.
 1.4. Centralize data from equipment sensors, logs, and maintenance systems for actionable insights.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Immediate notification upon equipment downtime or abnormal sensor readouts.
 2.2. Scheduled status polling at defined intervals (e.g., every 5 minutes).
 2.3. Maintenance ticket creation when predictive analytics signals a likely fault.
 2.4. Equipment self-test failures or periodic diagnostics reporting anomalies.
 2.5. Manual override or 'reported issue' submission by authorized personnel.

 3.6. Splunk
  • Feature/Setting: HEC (HTTP Event Collector) for equipment logs intake and alert rule configuration.
  • Sample: POST telemetry readings with tags; configure alert for “status: offline”.

 3.7. Twilio SMS
  • Feature/Setting: Programmable Messaging API to send downtime alerts to staff.
  • Sample: Configure webhook to trigger SMS for “offline” status events.

 3.8. Slack
  • Feature/Setting: Incoming Webhook for real-time notification posting to dedicated channels.
  • Sample: POST alert message with equipment ID and timestamp.

 3.9. Google Sheets
  • Feature/Setting: Apps Script or API for automated logging and dashboard updates.
  • Sample: Script updates row with timestamp, equipment, and status.

 3.10. Jira Service Management
  • Feature/Setting: REST API to create and update incident tickets from automation flows.
  • Sample: POST to /rest/api/2/issue with equipment and issue details.

 3.11. Zapier
  • Feature/Setting: Multi-step zap integrating webhook catch and connected platform actions.
  • Sample: On webhook from sensor, trigger PagerDuty and update Google Sheets.

 3.12. Salesforce
  • Feature/Setting: Case Management API for tracking equipment issues reported from operations.
  • Sample: POST case with custom fields for location and equipment type.
