The way we do this is as follows: The BBB is monitoring processes and sending data via json to a web server, where it is displayed. The BBB is behind a firewall, so it must be the one to initiate the communication. The BBB ultimately is the boss here, not the server. When there is no data coming in, the BBB just sends out a periodic json message to a web server : "Got any commands for me?" The web server responds with "Nothing at the moment" or any of a set of commands that are recognized by the BBB. The BBB reports success or failure for each command it receives. One of the possible commands it recognizes it "Start an ssh session (reverse tunnel) at server x on port y". This allows us to ssh into the BBB when something needs to be done that was not provided for in the command set. There are several layers of "fail safe" built in, so that if something fails then the guilty subsystem, then the app itself, and if need be eventually the entire board may be restarted.
