Vitals

Overview:

Vitals is a module that provides a secure endpoint which can be consumed by clients to monitor site health.

The ultimate goal is to allow third party services monitor site health of websites. Vitals is intended to ease the burden for web shops whom support multiple sites and need to track which sites need updates at any given time.

Site health indicator provided by the endpoint include:

• Drupal Version
• PHP Version
• Core and contrib update statuses (both feature and security updates)

Roadmap:

Possible future features that are being considered:

• Report any disabled modules that should be uninstalled
• Report any enabled modules that should be disabled in production (ie devel)
• Capture the SSL certificate expiration date
• Provide a hook to allow other modules to alter the response

Similar Modules:

DRD
DRD allows you to build a custom dashboard to monitor and manage multiple Drupal sites. Vitals is intentionally generic as companion modules are in progress to provide the same health checks for other platforms.

Monitoring
Monitoring allows you create register sensors to add new health checks and comes out of the box with the ability to integrate with existing monitoring platforms. Vitals may eventually implement sensor checks from the monitoring module, but there is no plan to to integrate with existing monitoring platforms. Vitals is geared towards getting a high level report of your site's update status.
