System monitoring is one of the key features of Remote Manager support for ConnectCore 8X modules. It allows you to remotely control some parameters that determine the device’s health, such as CPU usage, CPU temperature, or available memory. Remote Manager represents these parameters in dynamic graphics. You can also retrieve their values using the Remote Manager web services.

System monitoring is disabled by default. Enable it as follows:

  1. In the ConnectCore 8X module, open the Android Settings.

  2. Go to System > Remote Manager.

  3. Check Enable system monitor.

You can also configure the Sample rate at which the samples are captured and the Number of samples to collect before uploading (inside System monitor Settings). Default settings are a sample rate of 10 seconds and six samples to collect before uploading. This means the module takes a sample for each monitored parameter every 10 seconds and stores it. When there are six stored samples of each monitored parameter, the module uploads all the samples. That is, the device uploads 18 samples every 60 seconds.

If the module is disconnected, it stores the samples locally and uploads them next time it connects to Remote Manager (up to a limit of 5000 samples).

Analyze the samples from Remote Manager

You can view the recording of data (in charts and in text format) from Remote Manager. To do so:

  1. Log in to your Remote Manager account (https://remotemanager.digi.com).

  2. Select Devices on the left bar.

  3. Select your ConnectCore 8X.

  4. Click the drop down menu Actions and select Data Stream.

  5. Select the parameter you want to analyze from the list of streams.

  6. On the right, select the format to represent the values (Tabular, Line Chart, Area Chart, etc.).
