A Monitoring solution built for IoT
Detect issues before your customers do
- Monitor the health of your devices to ensure reliability for your end users
-
Highly configurable alerts, to detect:
- Connectivity issues
- Device malfunctions
- Application, container or service interruptions
- See device issues and logs in the Mender UI
- Email notifications help you respond quickly before your customers' service is interrupted

Real-time edge processing, designed for connected devices
- Fully distributed solution utilizing edge processing on the device, designed for intermittent connectivity
- Close to zero bandwidth:
- Instead of each device sending all the metrics to the server all the time, only send relevant data when an alert is triggered
- Reduced resolution time:
- Instant local processing - quickly respond to environmental changes locally on the device

Traditional cloud monitoring services are not suitable for IoT devices
- Different challenges for connected devices - IoT devices are geographically distributed and often have limited or unstable connectivity
- Network and bandwidth costs high:
- Traditional monitoring approaches require continuously sending all the metrics and data from all devices to the server
- Longer cycle times to respond to issues:
- You must wait for the device to alert the server before an issue can be resolved
