    Vantage IQ helps you navigate and explore your network. You can use smart query commands to leverage advanced machine learning and data analytic algorithms to dive deeper into your data.
    - Requirements
      Most Vantage IQ features require a Vantage IQ license; limited IQ summaries are available without a license.
    - IQ assistant widget
      The IQ assistant widget gives you access to the Vantage IQ assistant from any page, without leaving your current view.
    - Assistant
      The Assistant page lets you ask questions about your environment. The Vantage IQ assistant uses artificial intelligence (AI) that is connected to your Vantage instance.
    - Insights
      The Insights page shows a dynamic summary of all the insights for your organization. The table shows a row for each insight, which relates to items within the environment that need to be addressed. Severity level and last trigger time determine the sort order.
    - Time Series
      The Time Series page uses machine learning to detect and forecast abnormal network activity across your sensors and numeric variables.
    - IQ summaries
      IQ summaries appear as a summary bar at the top of multiple pages in Vantage, providing a quick overview of Vantage IQ insights relevant to that page.
    - Queries
      With Vantage IQ, you can create charts, graphs, and AI calculations.
  - Network
    The Network page shows a visual representation of your network and all its assets.
  - Graph
    Displays a visual map of your network, highlighting asset connections and communication paths. Users can switch between network and physical views to explore infrastructure relationships.

Time Series

The Time Series page uses machine learning to detect and forecast abnormal network activity across your sensors and numeric variables.

Vantage IQ Time Series tab showing sensors and variables, last updated times, last anomaly timestamps, and activity graphs — Figure 1. Time Series tab

With Time Series, you can predict and alert on abnormal activity from any sensor's or numeric variable's baseline using advanced machine learning techniques. Was the change expected or outside of the normal range of deviation for that period? Deep neural networks perform the forecasting and identify existing trends to predict forecast reliability using online signal analysis.

Setup

The Time Series page only shows items that have been individually enabled for IQ analysis. This includes sensors, and numeric variables for which variable history has been enabled. An item that has not been enabled does not appear in the Time Series list, even if your organization has a Vantage IQ license.

Time Series table

The table lists all sensors and numeric variables that have been enabled for Time Series monitoring. For each entry, the table shows:

Sensor name: The name of the monitored sensor or variable
Last updated: When the sensor's Time Series model was last updated
Last anomaly: The timestamp of the most recent detected anomaly for that sensor
Activity: A sparkline graph of recent network activity, showing observed values against the forecasted baseline
