AMS Device Manager lets you quickly check the health of any connected device by viewing its status. A Status screen displays an asset health overview, as well as critical or informational status messages that allow you to decide if any action needs to be taken.

To increase overall process availability, a proactive method of diagnosing potential problems includes a critical device list in the Alert Monitor. The Alert Monitor can poll the devices on the list at set intervals and receive any active status alert messages.

When a new message is received by the scan, a bell located at the bottom right hand corner of your AMS Device Manager screen will let you know that you need to investigate further. The Alert Monitor summary screen provides you with an overview of all alerts. Then, you can interrogate the device in question to get a complete understanding of the problem. After the problem is identified and fixed, you can clear the message from the Alert Monitor summary screen.
