Pre-Requisite Instructions

Here are the required pre-requisites for the Maximo Monitor Parent-Level Aggregation lab.

Attention

This lab requires Maximo Monitor version 9.1 or later.
MAS application entitlement must be Limited or higher.

All Exercises

All exercises require that you have:

  1. A computer with a Chrome browser and internet connectivity.

  2. User access to a Maximo Application Suite 9.1 environment.
    Your exercise facilitator should have provided you with the information on your access.

  3. An IBM ID. If you don't have an IBM ID you can get one here:

  4. Click Login to MY IBM button

  5. Click Create an IBM ID link

  6. Test your access to the Maximo Application Suite environment.

  7. Administrator access to Maximo Monitor to create and configure dashboards.

Attention

You should have the necessary permissions to:

  • View and edit parent resource dashboards (Asset, Location, System, Site, or Organization)
  • Add dashboard and configure data items on dashboards
  • Access child device metrics and data

Required Setup

Before starting this lab, you need to have the following setup completed:

1. Device Type and Device with Metrics

You need a device with:

  • Raw metrics (numeric data items from the device)
  • KPI metrics (calculated metrics or functions applied to raw data)

Creating Device Types and Devices

If you need to create a device type and device with metrics, refer to the step-by-step instructions in the Device and Device Type Setup Lab.

Example Device Setup

For this lab, we will use a device with the following metrics:

Device with Metrics

The device should have:

  • At least one numeric raw metric (e.g., temperature, pressure, speed)
  • At least one KPI or calculated metric (optional)
  • Active data generation (simulator enabled or real data flowing)

2. Asset Hierarchy Setup

You need an Asset with child devices assigned to it:

  • Parent Asset - The asset where you will create the parent-level aggregation dashboard
  • Child Devices - One or more devices assigned to the parent asset

Creating Assets and Hierarchy

If you need to create assets and assign devices, refer to the Maximo Monitor Hierarchy Lab.

Hierarchy Structure Example

Parent Asset
├── Device 1
├── Device 2
└── Device 3

3. Verify Device Data

Before proceeding with the lab exercises:

  1. Ensure your devices are sending data (check device dashboard or data table)
  2. Verify that metrics are being calculated correctly
  3. Confirm that devices are properly assigned to the parent asset

Note

Only numeric metrics can be used for parent-level aggregation. Ensure your device type has numeric data items configured.
