Abstract
A health monitoring and control system for computing devices has a monitoring agent operable on a monitored device that detects status items and transmits the status items to a central system. The central system may log the status items, determine if one or more of the items are out of bounds, and alert a remote device. The remote device may be able to establish an interactive connection with the central system, determine status of the monitored device, and issue commands that are transferred to the monitoring agent on the monitored device. The monitoring agent may be able to execute the commands to adjust settings, perform operations, or other actions to address one or more status items.
