System Health

The Micro VPS exposes system health indicators for three key system services and hardware components. An overview of the system health is present on the main dashboard.

Recording service is not required for operation of the VPS.

Health Indicator Overview

Services break down as follows:

  • MAVProxy service, connects with autopilot over MAVLink.

  • VPS service, core VPS software.

  • Recording service, records sensor and system data.

Only the MAVProxy and VPS services are required for operation of the VPS.

Both hardware components are required for normal operation of the VPS:

  • NVMe storage, disk storage to save maps and logs on the device.

  • Sensor connectivity, connection to the sensor module.

Home Position Outside Map Bound

If the current home position is outside of the bounds of the currently selected map, you might see an error like this at the top of the page.

When the VPS service is unhealthy, the error logs will be printed out in the system diagnostics. To fix the bad initial fix error, visit Home Position Setting.

Troubleshooting

Use the "System Health" tab to diagnose issues with your Micro VPS.
