Equipments
In Zebrix Control, an equipment refers to any device or service accessible from your local network or via a cloud API.
This may include, for example:
- Professional displays
- Video conferencing systems
- Microphones
- Sensors
- Printers
- Cloud services exposing an API
These equipments can be supervised in different ways by the probe:
- HTTP / REST APIs
- TCP protocols
- SNMP
- Gateways
- Cloud connectors
Interaction with equipments
The probe communicates with equipments in order to:
- Collect metrics (technical measurements)
- Execute commands (reboot, power on/off, etc.)
Each equipment is associated with one or more drivers that define how this communication is performed.
You can:
- Select the relevant metrics for your environment
- Define the collection frequency
- Adjust the supervision level according to equipment criticality
Metrics and equipment status
The collected metrics allow the system to automatically determine the equipment status.
These statuses then generate alerts, which can be used for:
- Real-time monitoring
- Incident generation
- Reporting
- Performance analysis
👉 In summary: metrics feed alerts, and alerts define the health status of your infrastructure.
