Add an EdgeMarc to the Network Monitor

The Network Monitor (monitor.myunifiedbx.com/devices/) polls each EdgeMarc edge device over SSH and reports reachability, firmware (VOS) version, uptime, CPU load, memory use, and interface status. Adding one means enabling SSH access for the monitor and registering the device in the dashboard.

Monitor source IP

Every check comes from the Network Monitor host 207.246.123.103 over SSH (port 22). If the EdgeMarc restricts management access by source, that IP must be permitted first.

Before you start

  • The EdgeMarc's management / WAN IP.
  • SSH enabled on the EdgeMarc, and its SSH credentials (usually root + password).
  • 207.246.123.103 allowed as a management source if the device limits SSH.

Steps

1. Allow the monitor over SSH

On the EdgeMarc, make sure SSH is enabled and reachable from 207.246.123.103. If the unit restricts remote management by source IP, add the monitor IP to the allowed list first. You can confirm reachability afterward with the built-in diagnostic.

2. Add the device (single)

  1. Open https://monitor.myunifiedbx.com/devices/ and click + Add Device.
  2. Type → EdgeMarc (SSH).
  3. Fill in:
    • ID — lowercase/digits/hyphens, e.g. em-sitename.
    • Client / Location — where it belongs (e.g. Acme Co / Rockland).
    • Label — friendly name.
    • Host — management / WAN IP.
    • SSH User — root (default).
    • SSH Password — the device password.
    • Port — 22.
  4. Add Device.

3. Add several at once (bulk)

  1. In + Add Device, switch to the Bulk Import tab.
  2. Set Type = EdgeMarc, a Default Client (applies to all rows), and default SSH user/password.

  3. Paste one device per line — the third column doubles as the location:

    id, host, location[, password][, user][, port]
em-rockland, 198.51.100.10, Rockland
em-milford, 198.51.100.20, Milford, customPass

  4. Preview, then Import.

Verify

  • The card shows the VOS firmware version, load, memory %, and interfaces within a poll cycle (~30s).
  • Open the card → Run Diagnostic → SSH should read OK.

Common issues

  • SSH failed / auth error — wrong password or user, or the monitor IP isn't allowed for management.
  • Timeout / offline — port 22 not reachable from 207.246.123.103 (firewall or wrong host IP).
  • Card shows data but a warning status — high load or memory, or partial ping packet loss; open the card to see which metric tripped it.
