AV operations platform
Your whole installation is already in a spreadsheet — devices, rooms, IP addresses, switch ports? Then monolog reads it and turns it into a running system: live device telemetry, ping, the events your Crestron, Q-SYS or AMX programming sends, control and room automation — all in one building and room context.

The problem
How much of that file is alive? None of it. Every device, every room, every address — right on the day it was written, silent every day after. It will never tell you that the auditorium projector stopped answering twenty minutes ago.
A device list records what was installed — not what is running, and not what changed since.
A failed ping says an address is unreachable. Not which room lost its display, which input it was on, or what else went down with it.
Your inventory becomes the structure, and everything that happens flows into it: status, telemetry, control, history.
How it works
Point monolog at the list you already maintain. Buildings, floors, rooms, devices, addresses, VLANs and switch ports come across in one pass.
Drivers query the devices directly for real telemetry — lamp hours, temperatures, inputs, signal presence — and every documented address is pinged. A Crestron, AMX or Q-SYS program can log its own room events into the same timeline.
Alerts reach the right people, related ones are grouped into a single incident, and notes stay with the device.
What you get
Real telemetry from the device driver, ICMP ping and the messages your control system sends — collapsed into one status: online, warning, offline, unknown. Every card says which channel answered.
Buildings, floors, rooms, devices, their interfaces and how they are wired together. A fault is reported where it happens — in a room, on a port, in a signal path.
One alert per device — and one shared incident, with a root-cause candidate, when several fail together. Email, Teams or webhook.
Device events, ping results, control commands and what your Crestron or Q-SYS program logs — in one filterable history with a long-term archive, each line marked with where it came from.
Availability, mean time to recovery, a reliability heatmap, flapping devices — as one print-ready document.
Power, input, volume and routing straight from the browser — and Room ON/OFF as one ordered sequence across every device in the room, with a per-step result.
A LAN scanner for what is really on the network, a ping manager for the rest, and switch, port and VLAN per interface.
Four roles, device credentials encrypted at rest, HTTPS out of the box, and a licence tied to the installation.
Every device in the room, its live status, and what its driver last reported. Click any card and the detail is the same one your technician sees.
Screens
Which devices need software installed? Only the server itself. monolog is installed once in the building and is reachable from any browser on the network afterwards — desktop, notebook, tablet, wall panel. The screens below show a demonstration installation.
Deployment
monolog needs no internet connection at all.
Is your AV network isolated, with no route to the internet? Good — that is where monolog belongs. It is installed in the building it watches; monitoring, alerts, history, reports and control all work with no way out. Only an email or Teams notification needs one.
monomanager, the engineering and service tool for integrators, is in preparation.
Demo
