Pool workspace (Overview, Settings, DNS, DR, Monitoring)

Pool workspace

The pool page has a tab bar with three groups:

1. Overview (pool home)
2. Member tabs (one per enrolled host)
3. Pool tools (DR, Monitoring, Settings, Managed DNS)

Overview tab

For HAProxy pools, Overview answers:

• Is traffic on the active node?
• Are standbys ready?
• Will DNS move if HAProxy or the agent fails?

Hero panel: Traffic-flow diagram — Cloudflare/DNS → active HAProxy → standbys.

Actions:

• Add member
• Cut DNS to standby — manual DNS cutover to next ready standby (requires connected DNS)
• Settings shortcut

KPI tiles: healthy members, failover-ready count, backups, cron jobs, last failover time.

Member cards show Active vs Standby, heartbeat state, and Make active on standbys.

Settings tab

Failover hostname, proxied vs DNS-only, and Dynamic DNS sync live on the Managed DNS tab (not only Settings).

Managed DNS tab

• Failover DNS label and FQDN preview
• Orange cloud vs DNS-only
• Dynamic DNS sync — optional; updates A record when active member’s public IPv4 changes on heartbeat
• DNS connectivity test
• Current A record target IP

Disaster Recovery tab

Visible when the pool has 2+ members (HAProxy preset only).

Cross-member restore: Pick a target member, choose a snapshot from another host’s backups, restore scoped HAProxy files onto the target.

Requires Pro or active trial for cross-member restore.

Monitoring tab

Pool-wide alert settings and failover notification preferences (email when auto-failover promotes a standby).

Per-member monitoring is under each member’s Monitoring tab.

Protection tab

Only appears when 2+ cPanel members exist — not core HAProxy-only pools. Document separately if you mix cPanel hosts into an HAProxy pool.
