Terminal: ask questions about your data
Press ⌘K anywhere in Plexus and ask about your machine in plain English. The Terminal reads your devices and data, then proposes changes that you review and apply.
Why
Most questions about a machine are short: which rover went quiet, what did the battery do during last night's run, is anything alerting. Answering them shouldn't mean building a dashboard first.
How it works
Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) to open the Terminal as a side panel. Ask a question. The Terminal can list your devices, see which metrics each one sends, query a metric over a time window, check fleet status and list open alerts. It answers from what it queried.
When the answer is a change, it proposes one instead of making it. It can propose a dashboard, a threshold or no-data alert, an email integration, a new or updated device, or a label on a chart. Each proposal shows up as a card. Nothing happens until you click Apply.
Chart labels
When the Terminal finds something notable in a window, like a spike, a drop or a gap, it can propose a label for that window on the chart. The note cites the series and values behind it. Apply the ones you agree with and they appear on the chart for your team.
Limits
The Terminal can only apply its proposals through a short list of actions. It can never send a command to a device. For more room, open the full Terminal page, where the dashboard it proposes is drawn next to the conversation before you apply it.
The Terminal is part of the Founding 50.
