Problem Statement
GPS and peripheral data (MDT/barcode/RFID/etc..) were delayed in the CalAmp K-12 system. This impacted viewing real-time data in the CalAmp K-12 website, HereComesTheBus parent app, Time and Attendance, etc..
Business/Customer Impact
Device data stopped processing or was delayed. No data was lost, but messages were delayed until the system could be fully recovered. Delay in data/message processing impacted current data in the user interface and HereComesTheBus application.
Incident Resolution and Root Cause
CalAmp K-12 platform delay in message processing was caused by edge processing device failing to start collecting data. Configuration issue was identified and corrected. During this time, no data was lost and was recovered when the edge processing service started collecting data once again.
