HOWTO Setting up a warning system

PBXware warning system monitors all system peers (extensions and trunks). If any of them becomes unavailable, notification is sent to preset email addresses.

SETUP:

  • Navigate to 'Monitor: Monitor settings'
  • Select peers that will be monitored (SIP/IAX peers, trunks)
  • Customize email address from which email will appear to be sent by providing an email address at 'Send emails from' field (e.g. admin@pbxware.com)
  • To prevent spamming your inbox, set time interval at 'Message re-send delay [min]' to 15 mins for example. This means that notification email will be sent every 15 mins untill peer/trunk becomes available again
  • Under 'e-mail address' provide as many destinations are needed that will receive notification emails

NOTE

This option is available only for Call Center edition, not for Multitenant.

When monitoring trunks, a trunk setting has to be altered:


  • Navigate to 'Trunks'
  • Edit trunk that is to be monitored
  • Click on 'Advanced options'
  • Under 'Test number' provide a number that is to be dialled over this trunk (If this number is unreachable, the warning system will be triggered)

BEHAVIOUR


If monitoring trunk for example, PBXware will try to dial a preset destination over a trunk. If that destination is unavailable it will trigger the warning system and a notification email will be sent out.
