# Dashboard

The Dashboard is the initial point of entry to the MiVoice Border Gateway application in the server manager.

Use the Dashboard to do the following:

- start/stop MBG service

- view summary of WebRTC, Call recording, MiNet and SIP support settings

- obtain status and system information

- view application and system metrics

- review licensing information

- view status of the MBG server

- obtain status and system information

- view application and system metrics

- review licensing information

## Start/Stop MBG

- To enable the MBG, see Start MBG.

- To shut down the MBG, see Stop MBG.

## Review MBG Status and Licensing Information

To review MBG status and licensing information:

1. Navigate to the MBG main page, Dashboard appears.

2. The following status and licensing information is available for review:

Field | Description | Values
MBG Status
Network Profile | The network profile of this MBG. Options include: Server-gateway on the network edge Server-only on the network DMZ Server-only on the network LAN Custom configuration | See Network Profiles.
Streaming addresses (IPv4)
Set-side streaming addresses | The set-side streaming address, which will vary depending on the network profile. | See Network Profiles.
ICP-side streaming addresses | The ICP-side streaming address, which will vary depending on the network profile. | See Network Profiles.
Interface IPs
WAN | The IP address(es) configured on the WAN interface. |
LAN | The IP address(es) configured on the LAN interface. |
Third | The IP address(es) configured on the third network interface (if the server is equipped with one). |
MBG service
MBG service | Displays the status of the MBG server. Click the MBG service to start, courtesy down, or stop the service. | white - not enabled orange - starting up or shutting down green - enabled and running blue - courtesy down (only applies for MBG service) Note: If you hover over these tabs additional information is displayed.
WebRTC | Displays the status of the WebRTC service. Clicking this tab opens the System > Settings page.
MiNet | Displays the status of the MiNet support. Clicking this tab opens the MiNet configuration page.
SIP | Displays the status of the SIP support. Clicking this tab opens the SIP configuration page.
Call recording | Displays the status of the Call recording service. Clicking this tab opens the Call Recording configuration page.
Event Services | Displays the status of Event services if an issue has been detected. This service runs in the background processing events, updating MBG metrics and sharing data in a cluster. If displayed, collect logs and contact product support |
Application metrics | Provides an overview of the load on the application by displaying the following gauge metrics: Device calls / connections Trunk calls Active taps | These values are refreshed every minute. Click to view device calls/connections graph.
System metrics | Provides an overview of the load on the system by displaying the following gauge metrics: Load average % CPU Swap Disk usage
Clustering status
Cluster Status | The status of the local node: whether it belongs to a cluster, and whether it is the primary node or a auxiliary node. |
Manage cluster | Primary: Resync cluster Dissolve cluster |
Auxiliary: Resync with primary Take ownership Leave cluster |
Zone status
Zone name | The name of this cluster zone. By default, the system has one zone, called “Default”, but you can configure other cluster zones and then direct devices to use them. You can also rename the “Default” zone. After configuring a cluster zone, you should select a backup zone to act as a fallback in the event that the MBGs in the cluster zone become unavailable. |
Backup | The name of the backup zone for this zone (if any). |
Node status
Node ID | The domain name/system name of nodes in the cluster. |
Node state | The sync status of this node. |
Connected devices | The number of phones currently connected to the node. |
Address | The IP address FQDN this server uses to communicate cluster events with the cluster. |
Weight | The weighting factor applied to this node. |
License Information
License Information | List the total number of licenses available plus the number of licenses that are currently in use for the local MBG and for the cluster of MBGs. Figures are provided for the following license types: Teleworker licenses Tap licenses SIP Trunk licenses Transcoding licenses |
Virtualization Support | Indicates whether the “MBG Virtual Appliance” license is enabled, allowing the system to be a deployed in a virtual environment using VMware. |
IPv6 Support | Indicates whether the “IPv6 License for MBG” is enabled, enabling the system to be configured with IPv6 addresses on its interfaces. |

Field | Description | Values
MBG Status
MBG service | Displays the status of the MBG server. |
WebRTC | Displays the status of the WebRTC service. Clicking this tab opens the System > Settings configuration page.
MiNet | Displays the status of the MiNet support. Clicking this tab opens the MiNet configuration page.
SIP | Displays the status of the SIP support. Clicking this tab opens the SIP configuration page.
Call recording | Displays the status of the Call recording service. Clicking this tab opens the Call Recording configuration page.
Application metrics | Displays the total for the cluster. | These values are refreshed every minute. Click to view device calls/connections graph.
Clustering status Note: In this solution, MBG clustering is pre-configured during the initial deployment. Modifying cluster settings might adversely impact performance.
Cluster Status | The status of the local node: whether it belongs to a cluster, and whether it is the primary node or a auxiliary node. |
Manage cluster | Primary: Resync cluster Dissolve cluster |
Secondary: Resync with primary Take ownership Leave cluster |
Zone status
Zone name | The name of this cluster zone. By default, the system has one zone, called “Default”, but you can configure other cluster zones and then direct devices to use them. You can also rename the “Default” zone. After configuring a cluster zone, you should select a backup zone to act as a fallback in the event that the MBGs in the cluster zone become unavailable. |
Backup | The name of the backup zone for this zone (if any). |
Node status
Status | The sync status of this node. |
Node | The domain name/system name of nodes in the cluster. |

## Manage MBG Clustering

Clustering enables multiple MBG servers to communicate with one another via TCP, sharing data in order to provide load balancing, scalability and resiliency.

To manage MBG clustering, see the following topics:

- About Clustering

- Configure a Cluster

- Configure a Cluster Zone

- Configure the Resiliency List
