SiteDashClient

Package Description

SiteDash Client is a companion to the SiteDash service, by modmore.

SiteDash gives you an overview of all your MODX sites, including information about your installed MODX version and installed extras, server details, and key configuration. The SiteDash Client package facilitates the secure communication between SiteDash and your site.

SiteDash can remotely, with just a click or two:

• New: Check MODX3 compatibility of your site
• Upgrade your MODX core
• Upgrade third-party extras
• Analyse your error log
• Search all your sites for specific users

SiteDash also monitors for problems. If it detects something you should know, it sends you an an email notification. Some of the things it checks for include:

• Running vulnerable version of MODX or packages
• Core folder left unprotected
• Setup folder not removed
• Disk space usage is approaching the limit
• Error log is huge

As optional add-on, SiteDash can also do uptime and response time monitoring of your sites. That will monitor the CPU and memory usage on top of per-minute pings to ensure your site is up and responding quickly. Look for Extended Monitoring in the manage menu!

To use the Client, you need to create a SiteDash account first. See plans and pricing here. Next, login, and create a new site in the dashboard. That will provide you with the Site Key that you need to enter when installing the client package.
