What Warden does at a site

Watch the site, get notified, take action, keep the unit healthy.

Monitor

  • AC fail, door, generator, radio and shelter dry contacts
  • Named points with timing so noisy plants don’t cry wolf
  • On-box health: temperature, load, disk, uptime

Notify

  • SNMP traps into your NMS (InterMapper and others)
  • Email on alarm and clear
  • History you can download for the ticket or handoff

Control

  • Relay outputs for reset or control modules
  • On/off from Status when a channel is enabled
  • Enforced password so control isn’t casual LAN access
  • First-boot setup forces a new password before the unit goes live

Maintain

  • Network and site identity in the browser
  • Software update with automatic rollback on failed health check
  • Configuration backup and restore for known-good setups

The hardware
