Gauges can also be updated in real time. Real-time gauges are useful in sectors such as healthcare, IT, automotive, manufacturing, stock market, networking, for applications where continuous monitoring of a state is required, and so on. They let you -
Monitor a KPI set for a system / business
Analyze current/single value of interest
Set alerts to notify critical events
Compare performance based on different business goals
A real-time gauge polls for new data at regular preset intervals and displays the current data on the gauge without having to refresh the page. It is silently updated with new data and the current state is reflected on the page after every interval.
A bulb gauge configured for real time updates is shown below:
This bulb gauge shows temperature status of a deep freezer. The gauge shows a single value, the current temperature of the freezer. It is configured to change color and display a message in real time based on the range the current temperature value falls in.
In this example, when the temperature falls below -35°C, the bulb turns red and a message is displayed to alert you to take action as the temperature has fallen below a desired value. Similarly, if the current temperature is in the range of -25°C and -5°C, the bulb turns green with a message indicating all is well and no action required.
