Problem overview

Maintaining device standards is crucial for optimal performance and avoiding downtime. Without a proactive approach, underperforming or outdated endpoints can impact productivity and create security vulnerabilities. This policy ensures all devices adhere to your minimum standards and alerts you when they don’t.

Endpoint Standards Monitoring

The Endpoint Standards Monitoring Policy tracks CPU, RAM, and disk storage against predefined minimum standards for your organization. Fully cross-platform and compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, this monitor provides real-time alerts for devices that fail to meet these benchmarks. Alerts specify which standard (CPU, memory, or storage) was violated and what the expected value was.

The policy is highly customizable, allowing global standards to be set while offering flexibility to override settings at the group or device level. You can even expand it to include checks for other metrics like OS version, warranty status, or additional performance indicators.

Use cases

  • Identifying devices due for replacement based on performance standards.
  • Ensuring compliance with organizational hardware requirements.
  • Proactively addressing underperforming devices to minimize downtime.
  • Monitoring resource-heavy environments, such as servers or workstations.
  • Implementing flexible policies for different device groups or departments.

Recommendations

  • Getting Started: Define your global minimum standards for CPU, RAM, and disk storage in the Level custom fields.
  • Customizations: Add overrides for specific groups or devices, such as departments with higher performance needs.
  • Testing Instructions: Start with a test group to verify that alerts trigger as expected. Adjust thresholds if necessary.
  • Expanding the Policy: Incorporate additional checks, such as OS version, warranty expiry, or device tags, for enhanced monitoring.
  • Alert Management: Configure alerting to ensure the right team members are notified in real time.
