Monitoring devices

[johnniewalker.email]

Michael, I have just started using Uptime Robot to monitor large numbers of devices, see here:

Managing large number of devices / Monitoring

I’m wondering if the new permissions system/sub accounts would be helpful for maintaining a large number of devices. This could be as many as 300 devices, some of which will be grouped into a few devices per location. Having all devices named appropriately will help, and checking for any offline devices is also easy if they are all on a single page, as it’s just a case of looking for a device that is ‘pink’, but just wondering if there’s any way of making the process easier. Do any other user…

It’s actually really easy ( and free ) to setup and just uses the devices url to monitor if it goes offline.

A notification email is then sent to whoever you setup in your Uptime Robot dashboard.

I know this won’t give detailed information, and is just for detecting if the device is offline, but really the devices should be given good internet connectivity anyway.
