Proactive monitoring without the noise
Watchman Monitoring runs lightweight agents on macOS and Windows to surface real issues before users feel them. With 100+ built-in checks, tuned alerting, and deep Mac coverage, you get signal—not spam.
What We Monitor
Over 100 automated checks keep you ahead of failures — from hardware and backups to OS stability and security posture.
Hardware Health
Monitor SMART status, RAM, battery cycles, storage health, and temperature to catch failures early.
OS Stability
Detect kernel panics, blue screens, and unexpected reboots before they disrupt users.
Backup Monitoring
Verify Time Machine, CrashPlan, Carbon Copy Cloner, and more are completing on schedule.
Security Checks
Track FileVault, BitLocker, and antivirus status to maintain endpoint security posture.
Performance Signals
Alert on low disk space, unhealthy processes, and startup items slowing systems down.
Network Errors
Identify excessive network errors and IP changes to troubleshoot flaky connections.
Expiration Tracking
Automatically discover and report upcoming software license and service expirations.
Contact Menu
Give users a menu bar shortcut to remote support, helpdesk, or custom resources.
Beacon Reporting
Know when key endpoints go offline too long with customizable heartbeat alerts.
Catch issues before they escalate
Prevent downtime by detecting early warning signs and known failure modes.
Hardware health: SMART status, disk I/O errors, failing sectors, RAM anomalies, battery cycles/health, temperature concerns.
Storage & filesystems: Low-disk thresholds, false mounts, boot volume changes, external drive state.
OS stability: Kernel panics/BSODs, unexpected reboots, failed POST, crash patterns.
Performance indicators: Free space, runaway processes, startup items, uptime and check-in cadence.
Networks: Excessive link errors, IP changes—helps isolate flaky cables, switches, or ISP issues.
Cut through alert fatigue
Too many tools overwhelm teams with constant notifications. Watchman highlights what matters.
Focused alerts: Opinionated defaults reduce noise from transient or redundant conditions.
Suppression & deduping: Prevents alert storms and repeat tickets for the same underlying issue.
Configurable thresholds: Tune per-environment (e.g., disk % free, backup recency, battery cycle counts).
Clear reporting: Concise event context so technicians know what to do next.
Group Reports & Communication
Keep clients and stakeholders informed without adding work for your team. Watchman Monitoring automatically generates clear, styled reports that summarize system health across groups of endpoints. Share them on a schedule to reduce inbound support questions, demonstrate value, and build trust with proactive communication.
Custom Branding
Present Watchman Monitoring as a seamless part of your service. Add your company name and logo to the Contact Menu, reports, and dashboards so clients see your brand—not ours. White-labeled health summaries and alerts reinforce your value and build long-term trust with every interaction.
