Description

Elecard Boro is a professional software solution designed to monitor video stream health and track QoS/QoE parameters across distributed networks. By providing centralized access to statistics and automated reporting, Boro enables telecom professioals to build a powerful monitoring ecosystem from scratch or easily scale existing infrastructure to ensure flawless broadcast quality. How it works: Boro utilizes distributed software probes to monitor UDP, RTP, HTTP, HLS, DASH, SRT, and RTMP streams. By aggregating multi-point measurements on a centralized server, operators can instantly isolate quality degradation across the entire delivery chain. The platform provides network-wide visibility and real-time alerts for ETSI TR 101 290 errors via Email, SNMP, Webhook, PagerDuty, and Telegram. Key Features: • Rapid Deployment & Scalability: Launch a monitoring probe in just 30 minutes. Easily scale your infrastructure by adding new probes to the unified Boro ecosystem on any hardware. • Proactive Issue Resolution: Monitor over 50 QoS and QoE parameters (including full ETSI TR 101 290 compliance) and use triggers to localize network anomalies before they impact viewers. • Advanced Diagnostics: Use comprehensive analysis of SCTE-35 ad-insertion cues and PCAP stream recording for in-depth delivery troubleshooting. • Effortless Integration & Access: Access monitoring data from any device via an intuitive web interface. Seamlessly integrate Boro into your existing workflow using WebHook, SNMP, and ControlAPI. • Operational Efficiency: Reduce the workload on QA and network engineers through automated regular reporting, advanced visualization dashboards, and smart threshold tuning that eliminates false alarms.

Description

Monitoring shouldn't require a dedicated team to run the monitoring. Xitoring consolidates server monitoring, uptime checks, SSL tracking, cron/heartbeat monitoring, and status pages into one platform with one lightweight agent. Install is a single command (curl on Linux, MSI on Windows). The Xitogent agent auto-detects what's running — Nginx, Apache, IIS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, RabbitMQ, Kafka, HAProxy, and 30+ other services — and starts collecting metrics without manual configuration. Uptime checks (HTTP(S), Ping, DNS, TCP, UDP, API, Mail, FTP, Heartbeat, Cron) run at 1-minute intervals from 15+ global probing nodes, so one flaky route doesn't page you at 3 AM. Alert routing covers 20+ channels, from the usual (email, Slack, Teams, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, webhooks) to the ones your on-call actually answers (SMS, phone call, WhatsApp, Telegram). The differentiator: Xitoring ships an MCP server. Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible agent and your AI tooling gets the same access as the web panel — read metrics, inspect incidents, ack alerts, create and modify monitors. The built-in AIOps assistant answers plain-English questions ("what changed in the last hour?", "top 5 RAM-hungry hosts this week") against your real telemetry instead of generic advice. Also included: white-label status pages on your own domain, incident management with root-cause context, REST API, and native iOS/Android apps. Pricing is flat and public. Free forever for 2 servers and 8 uptime checks; paid from $4.99/month. No per-metric billing, no per-seat surprises, no "contact sales."

IPTV Monitoring

Elecard Boro is a comprehensive IPTV monitoring solution that leverages software to guarantee superior live television distribution for IPTV and OTT service providers. Utilizing a flexible client-server architecture, Boro positions probe instances throughout multicast IP networks and OTT edge locations to consistently monitor hundreds of SPTS and MPTS channels in real time. The system meticulously tracks essential IPTV performance indicators, such as Transport Stream syntax compliance, ETSI TR 101 290 priority levels, SCTE-35 ad insertion markers, and the integrity of HLS/MPEG-DASH manifests. With its centralized web interface, live bitrate visualizations, and multi-user access capabilities, Boro empowers IPTV engineers with complete oversight of both headends and delivery pathways. Automated notifications alert NOC teams immediately in the event of signal loss, PID issues, or stream interruptions, thereby enhancing service reliability, optimizing subscriber quality of experience (QoE), and ensuring smooth integration into automated processes through API support.

Network Monitoring

Elecard Boro is an advanced client-server software solution designed for real-time monitoring of networks within distributed media delivery systems. It empowers broadcast engineers, operators, and network operations centers (NOCs) by providing constant oversight of complex, multi-segment networks that encompass edge nodes, headends, and cloud infrastructures. By utilizing lightweight software probes strategically placed at local and remote locations, Boro captures real-time stream metrics, evaluates network performance, and swiftly identifies issues such as signal drops, packet loss, and transmission irregularities. The system features automated notifications, a user-friendly web interface, and comprehensive analytical dashboards, enabling engineers to streamline network diagnostics and minimize downtime. With compatibility for major transport protocols (including SRT, UDP, RTP, HLS, and DASH) and adaptable API integration into current management workflows, Elecard Boro guarantees dependable end-to-end monitoring of network health for IPTV, OTT, and digital TV systems, regardless of scale.

Network Troubleshooting

Elecard Boro is a sophisticated software platform engineered for efficient root-cause analysis and immediate troubleshooting within video transport networks. This tool is specifically crafted to enhance incident response in intricate broadcast and over-the-top (OTT) settings by utilizing distributed software probes that continuously monitor live streams for issues such as packet loss, jitter, buffer underflows, and protocol discrepancies. In the event of stream degradation or outages, Boro accurately identifies the problematic network segment, thereby reducing the mean time to repair (MTTR). Its extensive error logging features, EBU R 128 loudness measurements, timestamp gap indicators, and frame thumbnail histories provide thorough visual documentation for swift diagnostics. Compatible with protocols including SRT, UDP, RTP, HLS, and MPEG-DASH, Boro automates failure alerts through webhooks, email notifications, and SNMP traps. Elecard Boro equips Network Operations Centers (NOC) and engineering teams with the tools needed to diagnose transport issues, confirm redundancy failovers, and ensure seamless content delivery.

QoE/QoS Monitoring

Elecard Boro is a sophisticated software solution crafted for concurrent monitoring of Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) within over-the-top (OTT) and digital TV environments. By analyzing both the parameters of video transmission and the quality as experienced by users, Boro empowers video service providers to ensure seamless streaming and adhere to superior quality benchmarks. The platform assesses critical QoS indicators, including bitrates, TR 101 290 error counts, packet loss, and stream integrity, while also evaluating QoE aspects such as silence, freezing, black frames, and compliance with audio loudness standards (EBU R 128 / ATSC A/85). With the ability to create tailored testing profiles, interactive analytical dashboards, and automated notification systems, technical teams can identify visual quality issues before they affect the audience. Available for deployment either on-site or within private cloud infrastructures, Elecard Boro offers practical insights, automated reporting options (PDF/CSV/JSON), and comprehensive API capabilities for thorough quality management.
