59.8 Monitoring Console - What is Etere Monitoring Console

The Monitoring Console is a tool developed to provide supervisors with a global overview of the system, ensuring the correct functioning of the system and all the elements. The Monitoring Console is a critical component of the broadcasting process because it permits a complete report of the way the Etere modules are functioning, error tracking and archiving for further analysis or forwarding the errors to another console (delivers the message to the pertinent operator who is intended to solve it) and thus saving time and resources on real-time which are invaluable assets in the broadcasting business.

To improve the monitoring of devices, modules and T-workflows, all Etere components are automatically subscribed to an SNMP Service to monitor the periodic heartbeats sent via SNMP by the components. The Monitoring Console detects missing heartbeats and sends both a visual alarm and an e-mail notification to the operations department. With the feature in place, the general health of the Etere system can be closely examined to isolate raised faults.
