📡 Documentation: Device Monitoring

Inventory, live status and alerts. What it is, how it works and how to use it — explained step by step.

📡 Definition — Device Monitoring

Device monitoring shows the inventory and live status of every device running the app: processor (CPU), memory, disks, network and services; with alerts when something fails. This keeps IT devices healthy without checking them one by one.

InventoryData of each device: system, version and hardware.

Each device reports its status to UCaaS; you see it on a dashboard and get alerts.

Monitoring runs on the same VPN-secured app — no separate software to install.

📘 Explanation (step by step)

  1. Each device running the app reports its status to UCaaS automatically.
  2. On the devices dashboard you see the inventory and live status of all devices.
  3. Set alerts (email / WhatsApp) to know the moment a device has a problem.
  4. Run remote actions per permissions (update version, restart services).

Fewer failures and fewer surprises: you find out before the user does.

🖥️ What is measured on each device

🧮
CPU and memoryCurrent and sustained usage: tells you whether the device is past its limit and needs replacing.
💽
DisksFree space per drive. A full disk is one of the most common causes of odd failures.
🌐
Network and secure connectionWhether the device is connected, over which network and whether the tunnel is active.
📦
Inventory and versionOperating system, installed software and the app version on that device.

✅ What it is for

  1. Know what you have, without walking the offices. The inventory builds itself from what each device reports.
  2. Get ahead of the failure. A disk at 95% or memory at its limit warn you before the person calls to say everything is slow.
  3. Keep versions current. You can see which devices are still on an old app version and update them.
  4. Close cases faster. When someone reports a problem, the device status is already in front of support.

Monitoring measures the device status, not what the person does on it: it does not record screens, keystrokes or visited pages.

❓ Frequently asked questions

❓
Does anything need to be installed on each device?It is already there: the TelHarbor app reports the status of the device where it is installed.
❓
Can an offline device be seen?You see its last reported information and how long it has been offline.
❓
Are servers and links monitored, not just computers?Yes, with NOC Monitoring: phone systems, trunks, servers, websites and links, with alerts and incidents.
