MGR2 and MGR3 also show USB logging, host/reader connection, logger-client activity, stalled/recovering/deferred
state, recovery stage, saved backoff, retry interval/inactive seconds, Auto qualification
seconds, and persistence
readiness. Unsupported observation is shown explicitly; legacy MGR1 has no
USB block and shows it as unavailable. These values are the report-start
snapshot, not proof that a Pi or host application is healthy. Older decoder
copies require an update for MGR3.
MGR3 additionally shows the latest USB watchdog action, reason mask and names,
advisory node-clock timestamp, recorded-boot uptime seconds, event sequence,
and whether the record was durably saved. Software recovery and re-enumeration
mean attempted actions, not successful repairs. A reboot request is not proof
that a reboot completed; a later cancellation can replace it. The node clock
can be wrong, even when it resembles a valid date. Event uptime and sequence
remain useful for ordering. MGR1/MGR2 do not carry this event field and show it
as unavailable. All 36 ACL entries still fit, using up to nine MGR3 pages.
Reports contain a frozen latest-event snapshot, not immediate watchdog alerts
or a complete event history. See [USB logging watchdog](usb_logging_watchdog.md)
for local review and persistence limitations.
Host/reader connection only describes the USB link or open reader. Logger-client
activity means recent USB stats polling within a 15-minute lease, renewed by
the existing five-minute polls without a new registration or heartbeat command.
The flag also requires logging enabled and a connected, unstalled USB link.
It does not identify the client or prove MQTT delivery, disk writes, or Pi health.

offline Python capture tool, see [Management reports](management_reports.md).
