2. Setting Up Grafana Alarms

1. Introduction

The Beamo IoT Alarm System integrates with Grafana to receive IoT tag and alarm data. When an alarm is triggered in Grafana, Beamo captures and delivers it to users in real-time.

Users can monitor alarms through the Beamo web interface and respond immediately via web and email notifications. Additionally, Beamo stores alarm history, allowing users to analyze past data, track equipment status, and plan maintenance more effectively.

By consolidating IoT tags and alarm data, Beamo enhances intuitive IoT monitoring and management, enabling users to efficiently assess operational status and take prompt action when needed.
