Your server's health on one page
When software runs on your own server, you should be able to see its state. MIA shows the version, resource use and last backup in plain view.
Version, memory, disk, backup
The system status page shows the running MIA version, memory and disk use, database size and the time of the last backup. IT can check the state from the panel without logging in to the server.
The disk guard refuses new uploads when free space runs low. You notice the problem before a full disk puts the system under strain.
- Running version
- Memory and disk use
- Database size
- Time of the last backup
- Disk guard that stops uploads when space runs low
What to keep an eye on
The most common problem on a signage server is a full disk. Videos are large and play logs build up over time. That is why MIA both shows the disk and protects it.
- Open the system status page under settings.
- Look at disk use and database size.
- Check the date of the last backup; on a Linux installation backups are taken automatically.
- If the disk is filling up, remove large videos you no longer use, or shorten the retention period for play logs.
How the disk guard works
When free space drops below a set level, the panel stops accepting new uploads. Screens are not affected and current playback continues. Once space is freed, uploads work again.
Together with the dashboard
The number of online and offline screens, pending deployments and the platform and version breakdown sit on the dashboard. The system status page describes the server itself; the dashboard describes the screens. Looking at both together reveals most problems before they reach the field.
The system status page works from inside the panel, so you do not need to install a separate monitoring tool on the server. If your organisation already runs a monitoring system, you can add the server to it as well; MIA does not get in the way.
