Management

Server Monitoring For WHMCS empowers your clients with tools to monitor their services directly from the WHMCS client area. In this brief guide, we will introduce the module’s capabilities and show you how to make the most of its features.

Module Addon

The module addon is where all of the setup and management take place for the admin. It allows you to add products to the module, enabling the creation of checks for services associated with those products. It also features several management tools like the queue, translations tool and module logs.

App Templates

'App Templates' allow you to manage and ultimately provide applications, ISO images, operating systems, and snapshots to your clients. Prepare templates in the 'Applications' tab and gather them into groups in the 'Groups' tab. For clients to be able to install templates on their VPS, their product has to include an 'Application Group' and allow 'App Templates' in the client area.

Applications

Read the guide carefully, as it contains crucial information on how to use 'App Templates'. You can change the settings and have the guide collapsed by default. Clicking on the 'Additional Actions' button, select 'Options' and 'Collapse Guide'.

You can switch between Applications, ISO Images, Operating Systems, and Snapshots by clicking on relevant tabs.

You can use the refresh button to download and later refresh templates from the server.

Once the items are loaded, you can use the action buttons to edit, duplicate or delete them from the list. You can also use the mass action buttons to manage multiple templates at once.

Groups

With the templates ready, all that is left is to gather them into groups and include said groups into products. Navigate to 'App Templates' → 'Groups' and click on the 'Create' button.

Read the information, then provide the group with: Name Description Items to include Note: Keep in mind that Vultr includes Windows licenses (Core and Standard) in their Plans and charges a monthly fee for them. Since this will affect the Plan price, we recommend not including Windows with other systems in one product.

You can use the action button and the mass action function to edit and delete groups.

For the client to take advantage of the application templates, the product module settings have to include the group. Find the 'App Templates Configuration' section and 'Default Application Group' field. Include a chosen group for the product.

Make sure 'App Templates' section is enabled under 'Client Area Features'.

Advanced Configuration

App templates allow for even more in-depth management with the ability to create and edit custom applications. See the examples below to learn about the most important options.

Adding Applications Manually

Manually add a single application, instead of loading all your applications at once. 1. Navigate to 'App Templates' → 'Applications' and click on 'Create'.

2. Download the list of applications from you panel's API. See the official official Vultr documentation too learn how. Make sure to include your API Key, the request looks like this: curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/applications" \ -X GET \ -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}" Example result: { "applications": [ { "id": 1, "name": "LEMP", "short_name": "lemp", "deploy_name": "LEMP on CentOS 6 x64", "type": "one-click", "vendor": "vultr", "image_id": "" }

3. In the 'Name' field we recommend including the value of the '"name": "$name"' field. For example 'LEMP' from: "name": "LEMP", Note: If you include a 'name' setting detail (see step 4) with the name from the request as its value, you can safely rename the application to something else here.

4. Edit your newly added application, and under 'Settings Details' edit/create application details outputted by the panel's API.

Carefully look at the API output and fill out the 'Name' and 'Default Value' fields with you application details. In our case it is: "id": 1,

Add the remaining settings following the same pattern of filling the 'Name' and 'Default Value' fields.

The application will be available on the list and ready to be included in a group.

Including Cloud-Init / User-Data Scripts

Enter the user data to run common configuration tasks when the instance starts. You can run cloud-init directives or shell scripts for Linux images. You may use smarty variables, e.g. {$password}. Note: Please refer to the following article to find a list of supported module parameters and their descriptions. If an application supports scripts, the responsible setting will always be added automatically. To include a script, edit the setting by clicking on the 'Edit' button next to it.

See the list below to learn how to set up the setting. Name - do not change this value, this is the setting identifier. Field Type - if the 'Visibility' setting is toggled on, this field decides the type of field, we recommend leaving it as is. Default Value - this is where you include your script. If 'Visibility' is toggled on, this will be the default value that clients can modify. Note: Use the merge field list on the right for reference. Validation - optionally, provide Laravel validation rules like 'required'. Visibility - this will allow the client to modify the script before installation.

If the 'Visibility' toggle is on, the script will be accessible before the installation, if not, the script will just be performed as normal.
