SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you manage VSS alert monitoring and inspection after deploying the VSS alerts profile, ensuring you use the correct workflow for the deployment mode.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mode-aware alert operations: Start/stop real-time alerts only on VLM real-time deployments, and onboard/query alerts correctly on CV verification deployments.
  • Incident querying and listing: Fetch recent alerts/incidents and interpret verdicts (confirmed/rejected/unverified) where applicable.
  • Camera onboarding prerequisite handling: Guide you to register RTSP-backed sensors in VIOS (and advise using NVStreamer for sample MP4s) before starting real-time monitoring.
  • CV verifier prompt customization support: Point you to how to adjust alert-bridge verifier prompts for CV mode use cases and understand the restart requirement.

Quick Start

Use the alerts skill to start a real-time alert for boxes being dropped on sensor warehouse_sample, then list recent incidents for that sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions about alerts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start real-time VSS alerts for a specific camera sensor?▼

To start real-time VSS alerts, ensure the alerts profile is running and you have a VLM real-time deployment. You must register your RTSP-backed sensor in VIOS before initiating monitoring through the VSS Agent generate endpoint.

How do I query recent VSS incidents and interpret alert verdicts?▼

You query recent VSS incidents using VA-MCP for richer Elasticsearch searches. The system interprets verdicts for CV verification deployments, displaying alerts as confirmed, rejected, or unverified.

Do I need to register cameras in VIOS before VSS alert monitoring can begin?▼

Yes, camera onboarding via VIOS is a prerequisite. You must register RTSP-backed sensors in VIOS, and NVStreamer is recommended for sample MP4s, before starting real-time monitoring.

How can I customize CV verifier prompts for alert workflows?▼

You customize CV verifier prompts by adjusting the alert-bridge configurations for CV mode use cases. After modifying the prompts, a restart is required for the changes to take effect within the VSS alerts profile.

Why does my VSS alert workflow change between CV verification and VLM real-time deployments?▼

VSS alert workflows are mode-aware, meaning actions like starting or stopping real-time monitoring only apply to VLM real-time deployments. CV verification deployments route actions differently, focusing on onboarding and querying alerts.

What is required to detect the deployed VSS alert mode before executing operations?▼

Detecting the deployed VSS alert mode requires container and signal checks to determine if the alerts profile is running. This mode detection ensures actions route correctly through the VSS Agent generate endpoint.
