Event Panel
The Event panel displays color-coded event flags for the selected objects.
Events fall into the following categories:
- Meter events received from data collection.
- Account events, such as move-in or move-out, customer calls to the call center, and so on, that are provided by a customer information system (CIS).
- Derived events that are identified by Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights core processes.
- Lists that are the result of an analytic calculation or test.

Derived Event Flag Definitions
| Event Flag | Flag Description | Association |
|---|---|---|
| Derived Usage Spike | An event to indicate that the usage calculated by using register reads exceeds a threshold value set as spike. | EM, GM, WM |
| Estimated Usage | An event to indicate that usage was calculated by estimation. An estimated usage is calculated when today's read is missing, and no future read exists. | EM, GM, WM |
| Estimated Usage Spike | An event to indicate that the estimated usage exceeds a threshold value set as a spike. | EM, GM, WM |
| Interpolated Usage Spike | Flag created when interpolated usage exceeds 10% of the max dial count. | EM, GM, WM |
| Meter Lock Status | Shows whether the meter is locked or unlocked. | EM, GM, WM |
| Negative Aggregated Usage | An event to indicate that the usage calculated by aggregating hourly interval is less than 0 (negative). | EM, GM, WM |
| Negative Derived Usage | An event to indicate that the usage calculated by using register reads is less than 0 (negative). | EM, GM, WM |
| Negative Estimated Usage | An event to indicate that the usage calculated by estimation is less than 0 (negative). | EM, GM, WM |
| Negative Interpolated Usage | An event to indicate that the usage calculated by interpolation is less than 0 (negative). | EM, GM, WM |
| Negative Register | An event to indicate that the register read obtained is less than 0 (negative). | EM, GM, WM |
| NIC Power Down | An event to indicate that a NIC (network interface card) is powered down and the meter is not communicating with the network. | EM |
| Register Gap | An event to indicate that the register missed a read during the day. | EM, GM, WM |
| Register Roll-over | An event to indicate that the register has rolled over beyond the max read that it can register (based on dial count). | EM, GM, WM |
| Register Roll-over Spike | An event to indicate that the register has rolled over beyond the max read that it can register (based on dial count) also the roll over value is significantly higher that it exceeds a threshold value set as spike. | EM, GM, WM |
| Reverse Register | An event to indicate that the register read obtained is less than previous register thus indicating a reverse in register. | EM, GM, WM |
| Spike Register | An event to indicate that the register read obtained exceeds a threshold value set as spike. | EM, GM, WM |
| Static Register | An event to indicate that the register is not reporting any read and it static (compared to previous register values). | EM, GM, WM |
| Status Active | Show the status of the meter (active, inactive) | EM, GM, WM |
| Usage Aggregation Spike | An event to indicate that the usage derived by aggregating hourly interval exceeds a threshold value set as spike. | EM, GM, WM |
| Zero Register | An event to indicate that the register value obtained is 0. | EM, GM, WM |
| Zero Consumption | An event to indicate that there was no consumption. | EM, GM, WM |
Derived Event Definitions for Transformers
The following derived events are available in the Distribution Planning and Operations module. They can be viewed when the Line Transformer is selected in the Type Filter.
| Flag Name | Flag Description | Association |
|---|---|---|
| Overload FlagsOverload High %Temp Adjusted Overload High %Overload Low %Temp Adjusted Overload Low % |
Determines whether a transformer is overloaded based on the value being held in Interval Overload Amount. There are two thresholds because associated to this flag to identify low and high overloading. Low: Typically, configured as over 100% of the transformer’s load rating (this threshold can be changed based on business needs). High: Typically, configured as 165% of the transformer’s load rating (this threshold can be changed based on business needs).

TX |
| Line Transformer Power Out | When power was disrupted at the transformer level. | TX |
Event Panel Views
The event panel data can be displayed in the chart view (default) and grid view.
Chart View
Chart view displays all available flags over time, which are indicated by diamonds. It is the default view of the Events panel. The panel may also display event-like data elements such as a state or lock status. A state flag could indicate, for example, whether a selected object is active or inactive. A locked status could indicate if the object was locked (at the meter or pole).
Note: Locked statuses include cut (C), locked (L), locked at pole (P), unknown (N/A), and unlocked (U). Lock information can be useful in identifying theft. Status relates to the selected type. For example, if Meter is selected, the flag will display whether the meter is active or inactive; if Account is selected, the flag will display whether the account is active or inactive. Status is always available for meters, but may not be available for other types.
Grid View
Grid view displays the chart data in a table form. Grid view columns include fact name, date, and value.
To change the Metered Events view, you can toggle between the Charts and Grid views, click the chart and grid icon located in the top right corner of the Events panel.
Event Panel Options
Note: This section describes all event panel options. Panel availability varies by user environment configuration.
The Events panel contains two drop-down lists that allow you to choose the time window and types of events to display:
- Time-Basis: Select the data increments to display. The options are Daily, Hourly, and Actual.
- Units of Measure: View the different units of measure based on the associated time-basis options; these include:
- Hourly: kWh Validation (default), Amp Validation, Volt Validation
- Actual: kWh Validation (default), kWh Register Validation, Amp Validation, Volt Validation
Event Category
The Event Category drop-down list allows you to choose which type of event to visualize.
- Events: Events found by the Oracle Utilities Analytics Insights processes. For example, the daily register gap flag.
- Meter Events: Events reported by or associated with a meter. For example, Endpoint Power Restore.
- Account Events: CIS events associated with an account. For example, account opening, account closing, temporary disconnect, and so on.
- List Events: Events found by algorithms.
