Method and system for device monitoring and diagnostics

A system for monitoring one or more devices, the system comprising:

• a processing device configured to:
• store a plurality of device profiles for a plurality of devices, each device profile of the plurality of device profiles including at least a device type and a device manufacturer;
• receive a user selection of a device profile of the plurality of device profiles and an IP address for a target device corresponding to the selected device profile;
• receive user login credentials associated with the target device, the user login credentials being credentials for a user account used with an application programming interface (API) associated with the manufacturer of the target device;
• establish an active connection through the API to the target device and/or to a software platform associated with the target device;
• receive one or more device parameter selections from the user, the one or more device parameter selections defining device monitoring parameters;
• receive target device data via the API;
• determine that the device data indicates operation of the target device outside of the one or more device parameter selections;
• generate an alert indicating the target device is operating outside of the one or more device parameter selections;
• and
• transmit the alert to a user device.

A computer program product for monitoring one or more devices, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform a method, including:
• storing, by a processing server, a plurality of device profiles for a plurality of devices, each device profile of the plurality of device profiles including at least a device type and a device manufacturer;
• receiving, by the processing server, a user selection of a device profile of the plurality of device profiles and an IP address for a target device corresponding to the selected device profile;
• receiving, by the processing server, user login credentials associated with the target device, the user login credentials being credentials for a user account used with an application programming interface (API) associated with the manufacturer of the target device;
• establishing, by the processing server, an active connection through the API to the target device and/or to a software platform associated with the target device;
• receiving, by the processing server, one or more device parameter selections from the user, the one or more device parameter selections defining device monitoring parameters;
• receiving, by the processing server, target device data via the API;
• determining, by the processing server, that the device data indicates operation of the target device outside of the one or more device parameter selections;
• generating, by the processing server, an alert indicating the target device is operating outside of the one or more device parameter selections;
• and
• transmitting, by the processing server, the alert to a user device.
