# Device Timeline

## **Introduction**

The Device Timeline in the HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) provides a unified, near-real-time view of device activity so you can quickly understand device health, performance, and security status. It consolidates alerts, events, errors, application activity, and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) into a single, chronological view. The Device Timeline serves as your single source of truth for device behavior, enabling informed decisions and rapid issue resolution with comprehensive, real-time visibility.

Use the Device Timeline to:

- Identify issues faster
- Correlate system and application changes with failures
- Reduce troubleshooting time
- Minimize downtime
- Improve device reliability and user productivity

The timeline acts as a single source of truth for device behavior over time.

## Accessing the Timeline Tab

1. From the left menu of the WXP platform, select **Devices** > **PCs**. A paginated list of devices is displayed in a tabular view.
2. Click the **Serial number** of any device. The details page displays the **Overview** tab. ![](https://cdn.us.document360.io/c9ecd56a-08d4-4e2f-ab71-60540f7ba8f3/Images/Documentation/device-timeline-image-y4r9znio.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T17%3A15%3A02Z&se=2026-11-14T18%3A15%3A02Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=aNVgmFRLqpfzfxEN5mTIOgLsWAoV5bRVbg%2BBpZxg1sg%3D)
3. Click the **Timeline** tab. The Timeline tab shows a state-based timeline that visualizes device signals as horizontal status bands across time, allowing you to see when changes, events, or errors occur and how long they persist.

The Device Timeline shows a state-and-event timeline visualization.

## **Timeline Components**

### **Lanes**

Each lane represents a monitored device signal, such as CPU, memory, system drive, applications, system events, or security status (Antivirus, Firewall, Encryption, Secure Boot).

### **States**

Colored lines show device status over time:

- **Green**: Healthy or compliant
- **Red:** Error or non-compliant

State changes indicate when the device condition changes.

### **Events**

Markers indicate activities or changes at a specific time, such as installs, reboots, logins, policy updates, or errors.

Hover over a marker to view details and counts.

This visualization enables:

- Historical performance analysis
- Pattern detection
- Identification of recurring issues
- Faster root-cause investigation

## **Device Timeline Tracking**

The timeline continuously updates using real-time, on-change, or interval-based sampling depending on the data source. Below is the complete list of tracked signals.
