Health Check
Getting an early indication that something has failed enables you to respond quickly and meet tight SLAs.
The Tracker Platform is able to perform basic checks on any equipment connected to it. These checks ensure that the equipment is responding to external commands and is therefore a good indicator that it is functioning correctly.
You can `ping' an IP device to see if it is alive. If a response is received, then the device is capable of network communication. It is possible for you, a system administrator, or engineer to perform these tasks manually. However, the Tracker is able to perform these tasks automatically and much more frequently; sending out an alarm if a response is not received within a certain time frame or number of attempts.

A single Tracker can 'Ping' a number of devices and can deliver an alarm via a dial up modem or IP connection using ASCII text, SNMP, SMS or Email. The system can be monitored outside of normal working hours so you can be aware of a problem and take appropriate action before a fault is reported or service effected.
Utilising the platform for health checks enables tighter SLA targets to be met. If you would like to know more, then contact us.
