# Offline Ignore Period Offline ignore period is an option that allows you to hide "offline" event on the device timeline. For example, let's say you set the offline ignore period to 1 minute and we have the next device log: 17:44:33 - device connects 17:44:40 - device disconnects 17:44:50 - device connects again With offline ignore period set to 1 minute your device timeline will show only 1 event: 17:44:33 device connects This is because device reconnected within the 1 minute interval. Without offline ignore period set your timeline will show all the above events. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
