Websites
The Websites module allows you to monitor and document all your clients' websites. It provides automatic monitoring with HTTP, SSL, domain, DNS, and email security checks, all in a unified interface with configurable alerts.
Website List
The main page displays all websites as cards or in a table. Each site shows its name, URL, HTTP response code (colored badge), response time, and an availability indicator (green dot = online, red = offline).
Statistics
At the top of the page, statistics cards provide a quick overview:
- Total — Total number of monitored websites
- Up — Sites responding correctly (online)
- Down — Sites not responding or in error
- SSL Expiring — SSL certificates expiring within the next 30 days
- Domain Expiring — Domains expiring within the next 30 days
- Avg Response (ms) — Average response time in milliseconds
Filters
- Search by name or URL in real time
- All statuses: Active, Inactive, Archived
- All (Up/Down): filter by availability state
- SSL Expiring: show only sites with SSL expiring soon
- Domain Expiring: show only sites with domain expiring soon
Table View
The table view provides a detailed display with the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Website name with availability indicator (colored dot) |
| URL | Clickable URL with external link |
| HTTP | HTTP response code (200, 301, 404, 500...) with colored badge |
| Response (ms) | Response time in milliseconds |
| SSL Expires | SSL certificate expiration date with colored countdown |
| Domain Expires | Domain expiration date |
| Last Checked | Date of last check (relative time) |
| Access | Access level (Internal, Client) with editable dropdown |

SSL expiration dates use a color code: green (> 30 days), yellow (8-30 days), red (< 7 days or expired). Already expired certificates display "Expired" in red.
