Device Status

Device overview

Open a device from DashboardDevices by clicking the device row. The page title shows the device Model (when available) and the internal Id.

Historical data vs current enrollment

When a device has multiple enrollments, Cerberus Enterprise can show a read-only historical record. In that case, the page displays a Historical data banner and a button to return to the current enrollment data.

Top fields

The top section summarizes the device identity, assignment, and management state. Some fields are platform-specific and appear only for Android or Apple devices.

Some data and panels are available only when the corresponding category is enabled in the device policy. For more information read the Status reporting and Location and geofence pages.

Panels

The Device editor is organized in expandable sections. Depending on platform and state, you may see one or more of the following panels:

Location panel tabs

The Location map panel now uses tabs so location history and geofence transitions stay separated.

For the full behavior of these tabs, see Location map.

Actions

At the bottom of the page you can refresh data and perform actions depending on the platform, device state, and license status.

Commands

The Device editor provides a Commands panel to send remote commands to a managed device. Available commands depend on the platform (Android or Apple) and device state.

If the device is not currently online, the command will be delivered and executed as soon as the device connects to the Internet. For Android commands you can set the Duration parameter to determine for how long an undelivered command remains valid.

Android (AMAPI) commands

For Android devices, the Commands panel includes a Duration field (value + unit) and a Command selector. Some commands require additional parameters, which appear dynamically when you select the command.

Common parameters

Commands with additional fields

Command history

Below the send controls, the dashboard shows a command history table. The table is sortable and supports pagination. Some rows can be expanded to view additional parameters or execution details.

Android history columns

Apple (MDM) commands

For Apple devices, the Commands panel provides a Command selector. Some commands require additional inputs. As with Android, a command history table is shown below.

Apple history columns

Refresh

Use the refresh action in the Commands panel to reload the command history.

Location map

This page documents the device-specific location tools available in Device overview. The panel contains a Location tab for position history and, on Android devices, a Geofence tab for geofence transitions.

Prerequisites

Device location data is shown only when location reporting is enabled in the device policy. To enable it, open the policy and turn on Location and geofenceReport location. For more details, see Location and geofence.

On devices that are not fully managed, location data may still depend on the Cerberus Enterprise app having the required location permissions and on location services being enabled on the device.

For the global multi-device map available from the dashboard, see Dashboard location map.

Loading and no-data state

Location tab

Open the Location tab to inspect the history for a single device. The available filters include the last known location, recent history ranges, a custom date range, and live tracking.

Marker details

When you click a location marker, an information window opens with:

Accuracy circle

When the information window is open, an accuracy circle is displayed around the marker. The circle radius corresponds to the reported accuracy (in meters). Closing the information window hides the circle.

Live tracking

In the device history view, selecting the Live filter starts a real-time tracking request for that specific device. Cerberus Enterprise asks for confirmation before starting the request.

Geofence tab

On Android devices, the second tab shows geofence transitions generated from the geofences defined in the assigned policy. This tab is available when geofence data exists for the device.

Geofence transition details

Selecting a transition opens its details on the map and highlights the corresponding list entry. When available, Cerberus Enterprise also shows the device coordinates and reported accuracy for that transition.
