pbx failover management for self hosted clients

→ this feature adds failover management capabilities to cockpit for onsite voice nodes and increases pbx status reporting frequency for automated failovers.

what changes

failover management options will be integrated into cockpit for clients with self hosted voice nodes. this allows configuration and monitoring of failover scenarios directly from the central management interface.
pbx devices will report their operational status more frequently. this enables timely detection of failures and automatic failover activation without manual intervention.
benefits
  • improved system reliability through automated failover
  • reduced downtime for onsite voice services
  • centralized control and monitoring via cockpit
  • proactive failure detection with frequent status updates
use cases
  • onsite pbx failure triggers automatic switch to backup node
  • central management monitors voice node health continuously
  • clients require high availability for critical voice services
  • remote failover configuration and status tracking

how it works

  1. pbx devices increase status report frequency to central management.
  1. cockpit receives and processes frequent status updates from pbx nodes.
  1. failover rules configured in cockpit determine when to trigger failover.
  1. upon failure detection, cockpit initiates automated failover to backup node.
▸ configure failover thresholds carefully to avoid unnecessary switches and ensure stable voice service continuity.
