Capabilities

Everything you need on the NOC wall

From the first packet to the last sensor — Obera Pulse covers your whole network without a stack of separate tools.

📡

MikroTik RouterOS API

Native polling of BGP peers, OSPF neighbors, PPPoE sessions, SFP optical levels, system health, interfaces and traffic — all without SNMP overhead.

📉

Packet-Loss Diagnostics

15-ping samples per cycle yield stable loss %. Connectivity History sparkline plus a dedicated Loss Events page records every breach with peak loss.

🔌

TCP Port Monitoring

Probe up to 32 ports per device in parallel. Closed ports raise WARNING with friendly labels so you spot a dropped service the moment it happens.

💻

In-Browser SSH Terminal

Full xterm.js terminal over a secure WebSocket. Jump onto any device from the dashboard — no client install, no jump-box gymnastics.

🔔

Multi-Channel Alerting

Telegram, WhatsApp and PWA web-push notifications. Severity-specific audio tones on the dashboard so the NOC hears every red alert.

📱

Progressive Web App

Install Pulse on Android, iOS and desktop. Push alerts wake the device even when the dashboard tab is closed.

💾

MikroTik Config Backup

One-click export of router configs straight from the device detail page — keep a rolling history of every change.

🛡️

OpenVPN Provisioning

Provision MikroTik routers onto a managed OpenVPN tunnel directly from the UI — perfect for reaching CGNAT'd or behind-firewall sites.

👥

Role-Based Access & Groups

Admins manage everything; viewers see only what they should. Group-scoped visibility keeps customer networks isolated.
