The octoja device detail page shows live telemetry for any connected device, updated every two seconds without a page refresh.

Prerequisites

The device must be online (agent connected).
Any logged-in user can view live telemetry — no additional permissions are required.

Open the device detail page

From the Devices list, click the device you want to inspect. The detail page opens with the System tab active by default.

Tabs on the device detail page

The page is organized into tabs across the top. While the device is online, the live tabs update automatically without a refresh.

Tab	What it shows
System	CPU usage (%), total and used memory, disk capacity and free space, and network receive/transmit rates. A GPU card appears when the device reports GPUs. Click Open chart history on a card to expand its recent history
Vulnerabilities	Lywand vulnerability findings for the device. Only appears when the device has a Lywand score
Updates	Pending OS updates reported by the agent; shows an up-to-date confirmation when none are pending
Services	All services with display name, start type, and current status
Software	Installed applications and versions reported by the agent
Tracked Time	Time entries logged against this device
Processes	Running processes with PID, name, CPU time, and memory. The tab title carries a badge with the live process count. This tab only appears when the device reports live processes, when you have an active process search, or when the section reports an error — an idle device with no running processes may not show this tab at all
Logs	Activity log for this device — remote actions, deployments, patch management, tasks, and sessions
Inventory History	A timeline of inventory changes — installed and removed software, services, pending updates, local users, network adapters, and before/after hardware and system details. Choose the last 7, 30, or 90 days, or the last year
Checks	Checks assigned to the device and their latest results
Automations	Automation workflows relevant to this device — the assigned automations and their recent run history. Only appears when your role has the Manage automations permission
Cases	Support cases linked to this device. Only appears when your role can view cases (the View Cases permission)

The live telemetry updates in real time as the device reports its current state:

Manage services and processes

While viewing a device, you can take action directly from the live tabs:

Action	How
Start a service	Open the Services tab, find the service, click Start service
Stop a service	Find the service, click Stop service
Restart a service	Find the service, click Restart service
Kill a process	Open the Processes tab, find the process, click Kill process

The actions are icon-only buttons — hover one to see its label as a tooltip. Stopping or restarting a service and killing a process ask for confirmation before executing. Service and process actions are logged in the device activity log (the Logs tab) under the source Remote Action.

Tips

If the live tabs show no data, the device may have just gone offline. Check the connection indicator at the top of the page.
Data is polled from the agent in real time. If multiple users are viewing the same device simultaneously, each view makes its own requests to the agent.
Live telemetry reflects the current moment only. To track performance trends over time, set up Checks — each check run records its result, giving you a growing history automatically.
