Viewing cloud bursting status

You can view the current status of your overflow nodes and locations, and view a history of all events that have been applied to overflow nodes.

Viewing current status

Go to Status > Cloud bursting to see an overview of the media load of your principal locations (that contain your "always-on" Conferencing Nodes), and whether your overflow nodes and locations are in use.

  • Any issues relating to your cloud bursting deployment will also be shown on this page.
  • The list of principal locations only includes those locations that are configured with a Primary overflow location that contains bursting nodes.
  • An approaching threshold message is displayed in the Available HD connections column for the principal locations when the number of available HD connections is less than or equal to the bursting threshold plus two.

    This message changes to bursting threshold reached when the number of available HD connections is less than or equal to the bursting threshold (and therefore overflow nodes are started up).

  • You can manually start any overflow nodes by selecting Start for the required node (the Start option is in the final column of the Cloud overflow nodes table).
  • The status page dynamically updates every 15 seconds.

For more information, see Dynamic bursting to a cloud service.

Viewing historic events

Go to History & Logs > Conferencing Node History to see all of the events (stop, start or running) that have been applied to overflow Conferencing Nodes and, where appropriate, the reason why the event was applied (for example if a node was shut down as there was no longer a need for the extra capacity).
