Server management has traditionally been a reactive process, with it often only possible to respond to issues once they have arisen. Even tools labelled as proactive, such as synthetic monitoring, only identify problems that occur after following users’ predictive behavior, and can lead to a false sense of security as systems may still crash in real-world scenarios. Therefore, staying ahead of potential issues is the surest way to maintain a high-performing, seamless environment.
With cPanel & WHM’s Server Monitoring powered by 360 Monitoring, administrators now have access to powerful tools that ensure service quality and uptime are maintained with ease. This new integration transforms server management into a continuous, automated monitoring process that identifies potential problems before they arise. Whether you’re overseeing a single server or an entire network, Server Monitoring’s advanced features can handle any site or use case.
Why Monitoring Matters
How much time do you spend reacting to server issues; website load times, security breaches, or email delivery failures? Instead of always stressing to fix problems as or after they arise, Server Monitoring transforms your server management strategy from reactive to proactive.
Smart, Automated Monitoring for Smooth Server Management
Smartly configured, automated monitoring can be your first line of defense in maintaining service quality standards. By actively monitoring key performance metrics and sending real-time alerts, Server Monitoring ensures that your website stays online, your email delivers properly, and your server operates at its best. This means you can avoid the stress of unexpected outages and performance issues, allowing for smoother operations and less time spent troubleshooting.
Advanced Monitoring Features for Every Need
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced server administrator, WHM’s Server Monitoring offers a comprehensive suite of features designed to fit every use case. From keeping track of website performance to ensuring your server is secure and compliant, the flexibility and sophistication of these tools make them a must-have for any server management routine.
Key Applications for Server Monitoring:
-
Website Performance Monitoring
Ensure your site is always accessible to visitors by tracking uptime, response times, and server resource usage. With real-time alerts, you’ll be able to address issues before they impact your users’ experience.
-
Email Deliverability
Monitor your server’s IP address against Realtime Blackhole Lists to prevent email delivery issues. This is a game-changer for maintaining high email deliverability, keeping your emails out of spam folders, and avoiding unnecessary support tickets.
-
Security Monitoring
Protect your server from security threats by using the uptime and performance monitoring features to detect unusual activity, like unexpected spikes in resource usage or downtime, that could indicate a security threat.
-
Resource Optimization
Track critical resources such as CPU, RAM, and disk I/O usage to optimize your server’s performance. This allows you to prevent overloads and ensure your server can handle peak traffic without slowing down.
-
Compliance Monitoring
Use the built-in web crawler to identify non-compliant GDPR assets, broken links, or JavaScript errors on your website, to ensure your site remains legally compliant and user-friendly.
Seamless Integration with WHM: A Tool for Every User
One of the standouts of Server Monitoring is its integration with WHM, offering a unified, customizable dashboard experience for both non-technical users and advanced server administrators.
