Overview

Boring Toolbox: Monitor Health, Report, Configure - Multi-Site Camera & Storage Health Monitoring Dashboard | Bulk Configuration | Reporting

The Boring Toolbox is built specifically for Milestone XProtect, offering powerful tools that give you more control and better visibility into how your VMS is configured and performing.

The Boring Toolbox health monitoring tools provide the data you need to proactively address issues before they result in lost video.

Whether you're managing one site or multiple, the intuitive dashboard gives you complete visibility into the health of your entire system. See which cameras are down, consuming excessive storage, or need attention, along with which recording servers are offline or running low on storage—and much more—all at a glance.

Save time with bulk configuration tools—update device settings, rename devices, change passwords, and even reboot cameras in bulk.

Scheduled reports deliver valuable insights into system performance and configuration, enabling data-driven decisions that improve overall efficiency and give you better visibility into your system.

Key features

  • Real-Time System Health Monitoring Dashboard: See camera health, storage status, and server performance for single or multi-sites on one screen.
  • Comprehensive Alerts: Real-time notifications give a complete picture of down events to minimize email overwhelm and simplify troubleshooting.
  • Bulk Configuration Tools: Easily update camera settings, change passwords, create groups, rename devices, and reboot cameras in bulk.
  • Detailed Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports on system performance, storage usage, and camera downtime to make data-driven decisions.
  • Multi-Site Visibility: Monitor all your sites from one place, providing complete visibility into system health across large or distributed setups.
