Abstract: An asset monitoring and reporting system (AMRS) implements an interface to establish an asset hierarchy to be monitored and reported against. The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS. The interface further allows for configuration of a metric definition for a metric of an asset node of the asset hierarchy, the metric representing a point in time or a period of time and derived from a metric-time search of machine data produced by or about the asset node and receives an identification of a metric determination specification for the metric definition, the metric determination specification comprising at least identification of a metric component and identification of a calculation operation to apply to the metric component.

The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS. The interface further receives an identification of one or more asset nodes of an asset hierarchy for inclusion in an asset group, receives an identification of a group metric definition of a group metric of the asset group, and reflects in computer storage an asset group definition comprising an association of each of the one or more asset nodes and an association of the group metric definition.

Abstract: An example method of implementing a control interface for metric definition specification for asset-driven hierarchy includes: causing display of a user interface for configuring a metric definition for a metric of an asset node of the asset hierarchy; receiving, via the user interface, a metric determination specification comprising an identification of a metric component, an identification of an operation to apply to the metric component, and metric time factors corresponding to time-related aspects of the metric definition; and reflecting, in a computer storage, the metric definition comprising an association of the metric determination specification with the metric.

Abstract: A charging system for use in supplying current to a power storage device includes a charging device configured to be coupled to the power storage device to perform a charging operation and a kiosk coupled to the charging device. The kiosk is configured to receive pricing data for the charging operation from the charging device, display the pricing data, enable the pricing data to be accepted, and authorize the charging device to initiate the charging operation if the pricing data is accepted.
