How to be notified when adapter is offline?

[caseydoug]

I want to see a notice when the adapter hasn't been "seen" for a set period of time. I don't see much value in waiting for a failover event, which would affect inbound calls only.

Good point. A failover event only occurs when someone tries to call. But since VPanel shows whether a device is connected or not, it should be possible to have the absence of a connection trigger a notification. Such a feature should be configurable, since sometimes people intentionally take the adapter off line.

Seems like the device page is proof of knowing the device is registered.
Is that a flawed approach. Does the device page need a User request to update?
Does failover really need an inbound call to trigger?
