Telemetry Event Rate at 72% telemetry delivery target: a worked example

Suppose telemetry delivery target falls to 72%. This page works the full calculation at that level so you can see exactly which result moves and by how much. Estimate telemetry event delivery rate from events delivered to the broker or historian against events expected for the period, against a delivery target.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Telemetry events delivered in the period: 148,000 events (held at the documented default)
  • Telemetry events expected in the period: 150,000 events (held at the documented default)
  • Telemetry delivery target: 72 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 99.5)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Telemetry event delivery rate = events delivered ÷ events expected × 100.
  • Telemetry event delivery rate works out to 98.67 % at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Delivery gap to target works out to -26.67 points at these inputs.
  • Telemetry events delivered works out to 148,000 count at these inputs.
  • Telemetry events expected works out to 150,000 count at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where telemetry delivery target sits at 99.5% and the headline result is 98.67 %, this scenario lands almost exactly on the baseline at 98.67 %.
  • It computes the percentage of expected telemetry events that were actually delivered and the point gap between that rate and your delivery target. When the numbers land here, the stressed input is the lever to work; the walkthrough above shows exactly how much each output recovers as it climbs back toward the baseline.

Results at a glance

  • Telemetry event delivery rate: 98.67 % (headline result)
  • Delivery gap to target: -26.67 points
  • Telemetry events delivered: 148,000 count
  • Telemetry events expected: 150,000 count
