Feature Overview

The Exaviz Management Platform is a browser-based dashboard and REST API that runs directly on the board. Every feature described here is included with every board at no additional cost.

PoE Port Management

The dashboard provides real-time visibility and control over every PoE port on the board.

Four PoE port tiles on a Cruiser board. Port 3 (“Server Switch”) is delivering 6.3W at 48.4V with power and temperature sparklines. Ports 0-2 are searching for devices. Each port shows mode toggle, disable, and reset controls.

White-Label and OEM Branding

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

White-Label and OEM Branding

Rebrand the entire management interface with a single JSON configuration file. Your logo, your colors, your fonts, your product name. No code changes, no rebuilds, no custom firmware. Edit the config, restart the service, done.

Your customers see your brand. Not ours.

How It Works

The management platform reads branding configuration from /etc/exaviz/management.json at startup. Every element of the UI that displays a brand name, logo, color, or link pulls from this configuration. The branding is also served via a public API endpoint (GET /api/v1/branding) so any external tools or integrations can read your branding settings.

REST API Reference

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

REST API Reference

The Exaviz Management Platform exposes a REST API for programmatic access to all board management features. Every action available in the dashboard is also available through the API.

Base URL

https://<board-ip>/api/v1

The API is served over HTTPS on the same port as the dashboard (default: 443).

Authentication

Obtain a Bearer token by authenticating with the board password.

curl -k -X POST https://<board-ip>/api/v1/auth/login \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '{"password": "your-password"}'

Deployment and Integration

Deployment and Integration

The Exaviz Management Platform ships as a single Go binary with an embedded SvelteKit frontend. Zero runtime dependencies. No database server. No container runtime. No package manager on the board beyond apt.

Resource Footprint

Metric	Value
Binary size	~10 MB (ARM64)
Memory (idle)	< 50 MB RSS
CPU (idle)	< 1% on CM4/CM5
CPU (SSE active, 1 client)	~2%
Startup time	< 2 seconds
Database size	< 1 MB (typical, grows with audit log)
Disk total	< 20 MB including frontend assets

The platform is designed to run alongside your application (NVR, access controller, IoT gateway) without competing for resources.

Key Differentiators

Open API, Not a Black Box

Every feature in the dashboard is accessible through a documented REST API. Your software engineers can build automations, custom dashboards, and third-party integrations. With Ubiquiti and TP-Link, you get the management interface they designed and nothing else.
