Abstract: An apparatus includes a data manager and interface logic with a plurality of interface ports including at least one network interface port. The data manager and interface logic is operative to obtain digital and analog data, via the plurality of interface ports, from a plurality of digital and analog device types, where the data includes device operating parameters and alert condition notifications related to device faults or potential device failure. The data manager and interface logic is also operative to write and email a report conforming to a plurality of configurable report settings in response to occurrence of a device alert condition or a specified reporting interval, obtain updates to the device operating parameters from a remote device over the at least one network interface port, and provide the updates to corresponding devices over the plurality of interface ports.
