Catch meter readings crossing a safe threshold before an asset fails
Every hour, WebRun opens UpKeep, checks each asset's latest meter reading, such as runtime hours, temperature, or pressure, against its safe operating threshold, and posts a Slack alert the moment a reading crosses the line so a technician can act before the asset fails.

How do I know when a meter reading crosses a safe threshold?
WebRun checks every metered asset's latest reading in UpKeep each hour and compares it against the safe operating threshold set for that asset. The moment a runtime, temperature, or pressure reading crosses the line, it posts a Slack alert naming the asset and the technician assigned, so someone can act before the asset actually fails.
- A threshold breach gets a Slack alert within the hour it happens
- Technicians act on a reading before it turns into an asset failure
- Repeat alerts stay quiet once a breach is already open, cutting channel noise

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Which meters does it check?
Any meter you have set up on an asset in UpKeep with a safe operating threshold, such as runtime hours, temperature, or pressure. Assets without a threshold set are skipped.
Does it log the meter reading itself?
No. It reads the meter values your team or your sensors have already logged in UpKeep. WebRun only compares the latest reading against the threshold and alerts on a breach.
Will it keep alerting about the same breach?
It sends a fresh alert the first time a threshold is crossed, then notes in later alerts that the breach is still open, so the channel does not get spammed with repeats.
