nOversight Overview

An overview of the nOversight Application

The nOversight application is currently available for MacOS and iOS (iPhones and iPads). This section focusses on the MacOS application.

Status Bar

This is the first point of interaction when capturing live logs. Choose the device to analyse and start the capture.

It also shows the time at which logs are being viewed - this ios the current time when logs are live, or when moving the timeline slider, it will let you know where you are in the historical logs

The import of saved logs can also be monitored here

Tools Panel

The tools panel switches between the various analysis tools.

nOversight has 3 main Tools

  • Wi-Fi Analysis - Import logs, navigate through the detail, find issues

    • A live view shows the details for the current connection for Wi-Fi and cellular

    • The analysis views look at the captured data statistically, providing details of connection sessions, performance of each Wi-Fi AP and insight into roaming decisions

  • Wi-Fi Report - Create a custom report for a section of your overall test

    • The log laded into memory can be split up into smaller sections for analysis (e.g. each floor of a building) and included in the final report as a separate output

  • Wi-Fi Map (Requires nOversight iOS) - Display network measurements against location

    • If nOversight for iOS was running during a test, the location information it produces can be show together with the log data to put a geographical performance map together. Ideal for large outdoor sites.

Control Panel

The control panel is where the recordings, import and export of logs are managed.

PDF reports are created here

The view can be managed here - allowing for control of what displays on the charts

The design validation thresholds are set here including Signal Strength targets, Congestion tolerance and Wi-Fi roaming stability indicators
