Multi Site Status Dashboard
This module offers a dashboard to monitor the status of sites that have the Site Guardian module installed. It creates site entities, parses various Site Guardian reports, and provides a simple overview of site and their status. The dashboard scans sites daily and allows you to ignore specific items or modules to avoid false alarms.
This module provides a simple Dashboard to monitor sites that have the Site Guardian module installed. As there was no official dashboard available at the time (see #3462876: Where is the dashboard?), I decided to create one. Now there is also a dashboard available from the people who created Site Guardian.
Features
- Create Site enities (revisionable to review changes)
- Parse the Site Guardian Reports generated for these entities. The following reports are parsed:
- Provide a simple view of sites and their status
- Scan sites once a day as part of a cron-run
- Add global items or modules to ignore, so they won't render your site in "error" or "warning" when you reviewed and accepted the problem
- Add per site items or modules to ignore, so they won't render your site in "error" or "warning" when you reviewed and accepted the problem. These are always added to the global ignore list.
To do
- The SiteGuardian secret is stored as a plain text string in the entity for now. For security it would be better to hide it once it is set. Also investigate if there are better ways to store it. Maybe key store or at least use the encrypt module or something.
- Implement other information-sources in addition to or as alternative for SiteGuardian.
Additional Requirements
For the module there are no requirements besides core Views. But to collect data on external sites the Site Guardian module should be installed.
