Setting up an automated monitoring system is easy with our expertise

Web browsing, network tests, and video streaming – we have you covered.

Setting up a monitoring system is easy with our Surfmeter technology. Here are the typical steps to get you started:

  • What do you need to measure? Just let us know. We design your measurement schedule. Be it a series of websites, a set of videos, speed tests, or any custom tool – we can instrument it.
  • Where should the measurements be made? If you provide existing hardware, our Surfmeter software runs on it. Whether it’s a Raspberry Pi or a dedicated headless probe – we’ll set up the software for you.
  • Our probes perform automated measurements and play videos, load websites, do the speed tests – just like your users would.
  • We host a server to store your data. We will provide it in our cloud for you – or you supply on-premise hardware.
  • Distribute the probes and start analyzing the data in our dashboard, which we will set up for your needs.

No setup is the same: if you have any special requirements, we’ll work with you to adapt the solution according to your specific use case.

Our customers have successfuly run Surfmeter in various environments, from desktop PCs to single-board computers, in edge nodes or airplanes. Let us know what your use-case is and we’ll make Surfmeter work for you.

Use cases for automated monitoring systems

Cover many scenarios with our Surfmeter-based monitoring solution.

  • Benchmarking OTT services: Understanding the differences between various service offerings is vital. Whether it’s you against your competitors, or getting an overview of the market, we collect the relevant KPIs to rank and compare services.
  • Network fault monitoring: Immediately see when upstream issues could affect your customers. We can detect issues that might only surface at the browser level – where throughput measurements are not enough, Surfmeter uncovers application errors that could lead to customer frustration.
  • Capacity testing: What is your product capable of? Instrument network capacity tests alongside browser-based application measurements to understand the level of service quality that you can offer to your customers.
  • Ensuring SLAs: If you have specific agreements with your clients, you need to ensure that the service levels are kept. Our monitoring system helps with that.
