As others have mentioned, the existing firmware in the base 3's is basically SNMP-polling only. The Base 3 was built to be able to do all of the other items, but the whole covid supply chain pretty much killed R&D around here for a couple years other than keeping product shipping. It has finally resumed in earnest, but we're still working through catching up with upstream underlying firmware/RTOS updates at this point so I don't know when any additional features will make it out the door orther than a few that we know we need to get out asap (SNMP writes, auto-cycling of devices based on ping or voltages, etc).
So, with the existing firmware/software you can monitor all the things you mentioned; you'll just need an SNMP server to do so, and it will be polling only. If you want onboard everything, yes, there are other solutions - such as the controlbyweb products. Some do this onboard, some require an external cloud-based solution.
