Device Alarms

Device Alarms let you monitor machine health (CPU/GPU usage & temperature, RAM, storage, etc.) and get notified when values cross thresholds you define.
This page covers notification channels, creating alarms, activating/deactivating, editing/deleting, and troubleshooting—for Device Hub only.

Tips & Troubleshooting​

  • No notifications arriving

    • Check Notification Channels are valid and selected in the alarm.
    • Verify the alarm is Active for the target device.

  • Alarm doesn’t trigger

    • Confirm Monitoring → Check Device Metrics is ON (metrics must be collected).
    • Verify the threshold and Rules Operand (AND/OR) logic.

  • Empty or stale data

    • In Monitoring, ensure Check Device Metrics is enabled.
    • For history-dependent checks, verify Save Device Metrics is ON.

  • Bulk manage

    • Use the Metrics Panel → Device Alarms list to multi-select and activate/deactivate alarms faster.
