Bring your live channels under control in minutes. With Elecard Boro, you point the system at your HLS/DASH/HTTP endpoints, let it discover renditions and variants, and apply prebuilt monitoring templates. Set thresholds for segment availability, continuity counters, audio/video presence, and ad cue expectations, then lock them into SLA profiles per channel or customer. Establish a baseline during known-good periods so you can track drift over time and prove compliance.
Day to day, operators work from a single dashboard that surfaces stream health in real time. You’ll see immediate flags for segment drops, continuity errors, playback stalls, silence or frozen frames, and SCTE-35 cue timing mismatches. Boro correlates channel status with server metrics—CPU, memory, and network I/O—and tracks endpoint/IP changes so configuration drift doesn’t go unnoticed. Uptime is measured continuously, with maintenance windows handled by schedules so reports stay clean.
When an alert fires, the troubleshooting flow is fast. Open the channel detail to inspect segment timelines, download errors, bitrate shifts, and cue-in/cue-out placement. Compare against the saved baseline to spot what changed. Run built-in diagnostics to test origin reachability, CDN edge performance, and last-mile fetch times. Web traffic and bandwidth reports reveal if congestion or rate limiting is the culprit. Use per-hop measurements to isolate origin versus CDN versus player-facing issues, then export an incident report to share with vendors or clients. Every event is stored for analytics, making it simple to chart mean time to detect and repair, and to forecast capacity.
Teams use Boro across workflows: staging a pop-up channel before a live event; validating ad replacement accuracy; monitoring 24/7 linear networks; certifying new encoders, packagers, or CDNs; and comparing multi-CDN behavior by region. Resource management views help plan headroom, while SLA summaries equip account managers with defensible reports. The API and webhooks push alerts into Slack, PagerDuty, or custom NOC boards; Grafana-friendly data feeds power wall displays. Schedule checks, rotate keys, and audit changes from one place, then close the loop with postmortems generated from the same data that triggered the alarm. The outcome: fewer viewers impacted, faster fixes, and clear evidence you met the contract.
