ControlOne Update: Configurable Fail-Open Settings, Hardware Node Visibility, and a Modernized Portal
ControlOne now gives partners direct influence over fail-open behavior, helping MSPs tune resiliency settings to match each site's connectivity and uptime needs. Hardware node visibility in the admin portal makes it easier to identify shared infrastructure issues when multiple agents degrade at the same time. A refreshed interface across key reporting and admin pages rounds out the release with a cleaner, more consistent portal experience.
What's New
- Fail-open settings are now configurable at the bridge and tenant levels. Partners can set probe intervals, failure thresholds, success thresholds, probe timeout, and a hold-down timer that prevents fail-back until full health is confirmed.
- A custom HTTP health check endpoint can also be configured for sites with non-standard connectivity requirements, giving partners additional flexibility in how health is verified.
- The admin portal now shows which hardware node each agent gateway and aggregator is running on. Shared hardware issues are easier to spot when multiple agents show degraded or retrying states at the same time.
- Reporting and admin pages now use the modern ControlOne theme and table component. The Events, Sessions, and Bridge Inventory pages, along with additional admin and reporting pages, have been updated to match the current portal design.
Why You'll Love It
Configurable fail-open settings make it easier to tune ControlOne's resiliency behavior to match the uptime requirements of each site rather than relying on fixed system defaults. The hold-down timer helps prevent connections from oscillating during marginal connectivity, so clients stay on a stable path rather than repeatedly switching states. Hardware node visibility removes a manual correlation step during outages, helping partners and support teams get to the root cause faster. The refreshed portal pages reduce visual friction during routine work, making it easier to move through reports and admin tasks without the context shifts caused by mixed UI generations.
How to Access It
These features are live now and are automatically enabled. No configuration is required to see hardware node identifiers in the admin portal or to access the updated portal pages. Fail-open configuration settings are available at the bridge and tenant levels in the ControlOne admin portal.
