Fleet Monitoring (Status)
The Fleet Monitoring page — referred to as the Status page in the sidebar — provides a live view of your entire fleet. It pulls current data from Wialon and presents each vehicle as a row in a structured table, refreshing automatically so you always see up-to-date positions, speeds, and sensor states.
This page is designed for operational monitoring: quickly checking which vehicles are moving, parked, or inactive, verifying that GPS is reporting correctly, and drilling into individual units when needed.
The Vehicle Table
Each row in the table represents a single unit (vehicle) registered in your Wialon account. The table is scrollable and supports virtual rendering, so it remains fast even with hundreds of vehicles.
Available Columns
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Unit Name | The vehicle's name as configured in Wialon. |
| Brand | Vehicle manufacturer (e.g., Volvo, Mercedes-Benz). |
| Model | Vehicle model designation. |
| VIN | Vehicle Identification Number, if configured in Wialon unit properties. |
| Registration Plate | License plate number, if configured. |
| GPS Position | Last known coordinates. Clicking opens Google Maps at that location. |
| Speed | Current speed reported by the GPS device, in km/h or mph depending on your unit preference. |
| Sensors | Active sensor states (e.g., ignition on/off, door open, fuel level indicator). |
The columns displayed depend on the data available for each unit in Wialon. If a vehicle does not have a VIN or registration plate configured in Wialon, those fields will be blank.
Google Maps Integration
The GPS Position column includes a direct link for each vehicle. Clicking the coordinates opens Google Maps in a new tab centered on that vehicle's last known location. This is useful for quickly checking where a vehicle is without leaving the monitoring view.
Filtering Units
When you manage a large fleet, filtering helps you focus on a subset of vehicles.
By Name or Identifier
A search field at the top of the table lets you filter rows by unit name, registration plate, or VIN. The filter is applied instantly as you type — no need to press Enter.
By Group
If your Wialon account uses unit groups (e.g., by region, vehicle type, or department), you can filter the table to show only units belonging to a specific group. Select the group from the filter dropdown above the table.
Group filters and name search can be combined. For example, you can select the "North Region" group and then type a partial plate number to quickly locate a specific vehicle within that region.
Column Visibility
Not every user needs every column visible at once. The column visibility control lets you show or hide individual columns to reduce visual clutter.
To adjust which columns are displayed:
- Click the Columns button in the table toolbar (top-right area of the table).
- Toggle individual columns on or off using the checkboxes.
- Your selection is applied immediately. The layout persists for the current session.
Hiding columns like VIN or Brand that you rarely reference can make the table significantly easier to scan during operational monitoring.
CSV Export
The full vehicle table can be exported to a CSV file for use in external tools such as spreadsheets or fleet management reports.
To export:
- Apply any filters you want reflected in the export (group selection, name search).
- Click the Export CSV button in the table toolbar.
- The file downloads immediately to your browser's default download location.
The CSV includes all columns, including those currently hidden in the table view. Column values are exported as plain text.
The CSV reflects the data at the moment of export. Because fleet status updates in real time, re-exporting a few minutes later may produce slightly different position or speed values. For audit purposes, note the export timestamp included in the filename.
Grouping Rows
Beyond filtering, you can visually group the table rows by a common attribute. This is useful for getting a structured overview of the fleet by department, vehicle type, or operational zone.
To group rows, select a grouping criterion from the Group by dropdown in the table toolbar. Available grouping options include:
- Wialon Group — groups vehicles by their assigned Wialon unit group.
- None — returns to flat list view (default).
When grouping is active, each group appears as a collapsible section header with a row count. Expand or collapse individual groups by clicking the header. All other table functionality (filtering, column visibility, export) continues to work normally while grouping is active.
Understanding Sensor States
The Sensors column shows the current state of digital inputs and sensors configured on each vehicle's GPS device. What appears here depends entirely on your Wialon configuration.
Common sensor indicators include:
- Ignition — whether the engine is on or off.
- Door sensors — open/closed state for vehicle doors or cargo compartments.
- Fuel level sensors — a relative fuel indicator if a fuel sensor is configured.
- Custom inputs — any additional digital inputs mapped in Wialon unit settings.
Sensors are shown as state indicators rather than raw values. A green indicator typically means the sensor is in its active or "on" state; a gray or muted indicator means inactive or "off."
If no sensor indicators appear for a vehicle, either the unit has no sensors configured in Wialon, or the GPS device does not report sensor data in its current configuration. Contact your Wialon administrator to verify sensor setup.
Refresh Behavior
The Status page refreshes its data automatically. The refresh interval is set at 30 seconds, which balances data freshness against API request volume.
A subtle loading indicator appears briefly during each refresh. You do not need to manually reload the page to receive updated positions or sensor states.
If you need data at a specific moment (for example, to capture a vehicle's position for a report), use the CSV export immediately after a refresh cycle completes.
