Network visibility and reporting
A dark screen in a branch you visit once a month can stay dark until a customer mentions it. Wallboard shows the state of every device. When one drops offline, it emails the right people. It also keeps a record of what played where, so you can show advertisers that their content ran.
Log in and the Home page already lists device statuses, device alerts and datasource alerts.
Rules watch chosen folders or tags and fire only in the working hours you set. A store that shuts at 22:00 sends no alert at midnight.
Hear when a feed stops updating, before a menu board spends a day showing yesterday’s prices.
Alerts go out by email. Wallboard support can set up SMS notifications too.
A player that crashes every afternoon shows up in Device Metrics as a pattern. The charts cover uptime and reconnections, CPU load and temperature, GPU frame rate, memory, cache storage, network traffic and server response, Wi-Fi signal, warning and error counts, and application crashes, over the last 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or a custom range of at least 15 minutes. Compare two devices to tell a failing player from a weak network. Uptime history also stores the working hours that applied at the time, so if you change the hours next month, this month’s report stays accurate.
Last week’s campaign either ran on the intended screens or it didn’t. Proof of Play reports say which, and how often each media file appeared. Report by device, content, media file, advertiser, channel or custom statistic. Group the results and export them to CSV or PNG. Wallboard keeps the data for up to a year, and one query covers up to three months of it.
Add a viewer count and the same records carry audience metrics. The count can come from people-counting sensors, a default audience size set on the device, a datasource or an action inside the content. Without a viewer count source, Wallboard collects no audience data.
A device’s Overview tab shows a preview of its assigned content. Ask the device for a high-resolution preview image and it uploads a picture of what its screen shows, and the latest ten stay on file for comparison. Restart it or send it a command. Download its logs, which on supported devices can include a system log or system report. Each device can also store a Service ID, such as a TeamViewer ID, so your team keeps the remote access tool it already uses.
Each device can hold a street location and GPS coordinates, or take the location set on its folder. Map view then plots the whole network. Up to five photos per device record where it is mounted, so the next technician does not have to search the building for it. The API can also return devices by location for your own dashboards.
When a menu board shows the wrong price, the Logs page shows who changed what, and when. It records activity across your account with the user, device, content or datasource involved. Filter by level, action type, date, user, device, content or datasource. Audit and AI-generated entries have filters of their own. Download the list as a CSV file for an auditor, or copy a single message into a support case. AI datasource and Web Scraper refreshes write entries of their own, and each names the model used, how long the refresh took and any failure.
An AI assistant can tell you which screens are offline. Connect Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor to Wallboard’s MCP server and ask. The AI filter generator works the same way inside Wallboard, turning a request such as "Offline Android devices" into a device filter that you can check before you apply it. Statistics, device metrics and alerts are also available through the REST API.
Franchise groups and agencies that run Wallboard as network owners see every member workspace on one dashboard. It counts the screens online. It also shows license use, which content types are playing and how active each location is. Filter by location or date and download the reports.
Partner with WallboardWhen an alert points to something you cannot fix from the console, the Wallboard support team is at support@wallboard.us.
Bring a list of your sites and screens. In the demo we’ll set up the offline alerts and proof-of-play reports that would cover them.
