Central Management Software

[simon_2011]

Companies which have many branches,
They have to change configuration of each 3CX server separately,
My idea is, why not 3CX develop a 3CX CMC (Central Management Console) which connects to all 3CX servers, and can change any configuration on any system, or in all systems.

Also this idea will be good for the Failover,
Instead of schedule backup and restore,
User can change configuration on the active and passive server at the same time.

This idea could be done through a software which creates a config file and this file uploaded to each server, or a direct connection which retrieve from the server and change on its configuration directly.

We already have something like this, A panel i built that keeps track of all our 3CX systems, and allows the techs to administer them from a central pane of glass, it also logs who has accessed them and when.

@DocTechAZ - Would you mind sharing more info on this? I've been interested to build something similar.

Im still working on forking a standalone version from our internal use version, but i should have it ready to go in the next month or so.

Cool! I'd be very interested to see/test it out.

Hi, I'd love to hear if there is any update on this.

How does it work? Via an API or plugging in directly to the DB?

Uses 3CXs own native API over TLS, no extra ports to open, or anything to add to a 3cx server. and its not directly plugging into any databases either. Its all over port 5001, using their own language.

That's great! The UI needs some work but that's a pretty good start!

Those screenshots are a bit old, the system has matured some more.

I looked at your demo on the website actually.

I looked at your demo on the website actually.

That is what i was refering to, it might not be static images, but it is all just page captures from numerous versions ago, the UI is mostly the same,but its been tweaked, cleaned up some, etc.

 

[BrenttG]

I have just updated several of the major pages in the demo, including the main page, so now you see the overall stats of your 3cx world, essentially, all trunks from all 3cx servers status summarized for example, 48/48, and active calls and extensions the same way.

Also updated some of the inventory pages.

NOTE, disregard the version numbers on the top of the demo pages, as they are static copies and will vary and be incorrect as i have editted in missing items rather than re-capture the page and re-censor confidential information on numerous.

Just realized the changelog on the demo, and the website were massively behind and updated them both.
