Abstract

Disclosed are examples of managing devices through secondary communication channels. In some examples, a management component detects an impediment with a data communication channel for a device. The data communication channel can be a primary communication channel through which the device communicates with a management service. The management component detects an event associated with the device to report to the management service. The management component generates a message specifying the event, and the management component transmits the message to the management service through the secondary communication channel.
