# Voice operations

> Monitor Voice instance status, copy PMA-Voice settings, restart instances and remove unused instances.

Use the Voice dashboard to monitor managed PMA-Voice compatible instances after setup.

The dashboard shows instance state, region, endpoint, port, latest heartbeat and connected client count when the instance reports it.

## Dashboard tabs

| Tab           | Use it for                                                              |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Instances** | Review active Voice instances and open instance details.                |
| **Regions**   | Check regional availability before creating or moving service capacity. |

## Instance details

Open an instance to review:

* Instance status.
* Region.
* Endpoint hostname and port.
* Registered server ID.
* Last heartbeat.
* Connected clients when available.
* Generated PMA-Voice `server.cfg` settings.

Copy the setup block from the instance detail page whenever you need to reconfigure PMA-Voice.

## Status reference

| Status       | Meaning                                                              |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Provisioning | FiveMesh is preparing the managed Voice instance.                    |
| Online       | The instance is available and can be used by the server.             |
| Restarting   | A restart has been requested and is still in progress.               |
| Error        | The instance needs attention or support review.                      |
| Deleting     | The instance is being removed.                                       |
| Deleted      | The instance was removed and no longer serves the registered server. |

## Restart an instance

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the instance">
    In **Voice**, open the instance detail page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Request restart">
    Click **Restart**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for status to recover">
    Watch the status and heartbeat before changing PMA-Voice settings again.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Restart is unavailable while an instance is provisioning, deleting or already deleted.

## Delete an instance

Delete a Voice instance only when the registered server should stop using managed Voice infrastructure.

Deleting the instance frees the plan slot. It does not remove the registered server from FiveMesh.

<Warning>
  You cannot delete an instance while provisioning is still in progress. Wait for provisioning to finish, then delete the instance if it is no longer needed.
</Warning>

## Heartbeat and clients

The dashboard uses heartbeat data to show whether the Voice agent is reporting and how many clients are connected.

If the heartbeat is missing or stale:

* Confirm the instance is online.
* Confirm the server is using the latest endpoint and port from the detail page.
* Restart the instance if the action is available.
* Open a [Discord ticket](https://discord.gg/wBJamWETxr) with the workspace, registered server ID, instance ID and region.
