Also today, Google is announcing monitoring tool to track the health of kiosks and signs that are running on Chromeboxes.

“You’ll get alerts from Chrome device management if a screen goes down, and can remotely reboot the device to get it back online without dispatching a technician,” Nagarajan wrote.

“You can also get live updates about system usage and capture screen grabs to see exactly what viewers see.”
