Note:

The Device Status dashboard replaces the legacy Device Status Detail report. It provides real-time visibility into endpoint availability across sites, helping teams quickly identify devices that are in service or out of service and resolve issues faster.

The Device Status dashboard shows the real-time health of all endpoint devices in your 8x8 cloud phone system. It enables administrators to monitor connectivity, detect service issues, and take action before problems impact users or call center performance.

Benefits

  • Modern user experience: Navigation and visuals align with 8x8 design standards, making the dashboard easy to use.

  • Faster troubleshooting: View overall and individual endpoint status in one place to quickly identify issues across multiple locations.

  • Targeted filtering: Narrow results by PBX, Service Type, Device Type, and Device Site to speed up investigation.

  • Clear ownership: Easily match devices to users to resolve issues faster.

Features

  • Monitor the real-time status of all endpoint devices in your 8x8 cloud phone system.

  • Identify network service issues, such as outages during a large storm.

  • Detect network and service issues, including site-wide outages.

  • View the geographic location of endpoints to identify location-based problems.

  • Proactively identify and resolve service disruptions before they impact users or call center performance.

View the Endpoints status details

The Device Status dashboard provides real-time information for all endpoint devices in your 8x8 cloud phone system.

It includes:

  • Summary tiles: Total endpoints, total sites, in-service devices, and out-of-service devices

  • Site endpoint status: A visual chart showing device availability per site.

  • Endpoint status statistic: A visual summary that shows the percentage of all endpoints that are currently in service or out of service.

  • Endpoint status details table: A detailed list of individual endpoints, including status, timestamps, extensions, assigned users, site location, IP addresses, data centers, and device details. To learn more, see Glossary: Endpoint status details.

To learn more, see Glossary: Endpoints status details.

Summary tiles

The Summary tiles section at the top of the dashboard displays the Total endpoints, Total sites, and Online and Offline totals, giving you an at-a-glance view of all your endpoints and sites.

Site endpoint status chart

The Site Endpoint Status chart shows which sites have Offline endpoints.

A problematic site is a site that has one or more Offline endpoints.

The chart view adapts to the number of problematic sites:

  • No problematic sites: When no site has offline endpoints, the chart is replaced by a confirmation message reading "No problematic sites found" (all endpoints are online), along with the total number of endpoints and sites currently online.

  • Up to 29 problematic sites: A bar chart with one bar per site, sorted from the highest to the lowest percentage of offline endpoints. Each bar is split into online (green) and offline (red) portions.

  • 30 or more problematic sites: A summary chart groups problematic sites into severity tiers so you can assess the scale of an issue at a glance.

Severity-tiers summary chart

The chart includes a severity-tier summary that groups sites by impact level, giving you an at-a-glance view of the most critical issues.

Click any severity tier to filter the chart and focus on the sites that matter most.

When 30 or more sites have offline endpoints, sites are grouped into four severity tiers based on the percentage of endpoints that are offline at each site:

Tier

Offline endpoints at a site

Critical

100% (all endpoints Offline)

High

75% to 99%

Medium

25% to 74%

Low

1% to 24%

Each bar represents one tier. The number above each bar is the count of sites in that tier, and the red/green split shows the proportion of offline vs. online endpoints across those sites. Hover over a bar to see the number of sites and endpoints it represents.

Filter by site from the Summary chart

  1. Click any tier bar in the Site Endpoint Status chart. A side panel opens, listing the sites in that tier.

  2. Use the search box to find a site and select one or more sites.

  3. Click Apply to filter the entire report to those sites.

  4. Optional: Click Reset to clear your selection.

How endpoint status is determined

The endpoint status reflects the SIP registration state of a device, indicating whether a VoIP device (IP phone, softphone) is actively connected and authenticated with a SIP server. It does not indicate a live presence signal.

A device shows as online while it has an active registration, and offline once that registration ends. The registration ends in one of two ways:

  • Graceful logout / unregister: When a device explicitly unregisters, for example a desk phone signing out, it is marked offline immediately.

  • Expiry timeout: If a device disconnects without unregistering (network loss, unplugged phone, closed laptop), it remains online until its registration expiry timer lapses without a renewal, then changes to offline.

Because of this, a device that drops off ungracefully can keep showing as online until its registration expires. Registration intervals depend on the device type and are configurable. Typical defaults are:

Device type

Typica; registration interval

Polycom

Approximately 10 minutes

Yealink

Approximately 5 minutes

Softclient (app)  

Approximately 30 minutes

Maps

The Device Status dashboard includes interactive maps that help visualize endpoint distribution and service status by location. You can switch between the Site Location Map and the Routing Map to identify location-based service issues.

Site Location Map

The Site Location Map shows the geographic distribution of endpoints by site. Selecting a location displays how many endpoints are in service or out of service, helping you quickly understand site-level operational status.

Routing Map

The Routing Map displays real-time endpoint distribution and routing paths across regions. This view helps identify regional or routing-related service issues by showing where endpoints connect and how traffic flows.

Customize the Device Status dashboard

You can tailor the Device Status dashboard to highlight the metrics most relevant to your work.

Filtering options

  • PBX: Select the PBX to display relevant data. Your selection is saved for future sessions.

  • Service Type: Online or Offline.

  • Device Type: Primary Devices (VoIP Phones) or Secondary Devices (Softphones).

  • Device Sites: Select the one or more sites.

  • Reset all: Restore default filter settings with one click.
