This Salix Monitor 360 update adds status pages for sharing selected monitor health, plus practical checks for problems that are easy to miss until they become painful: expiring domains, supplier service issues, drifting clocks and public reputation warnings.

It also moves the product further towards worldwide use, with timezones assigned at user and organisation level so reports, health summaries and dashboard timestamps can make sense to the people reading them.

Status pages for customers, staff and suppliers

A major addition in this round is status pages. They let an organisation publish selected monitor statuses for people outside the normal admin area, such as customers, staff, suppliers or support teams.

Public status pages can be opened by anyone with the status-page link. Private status pages use a private token link, which is useful when the page should be shared with a smaller group rather than listed openly. The important control is selection: only monitors that are safe to show outside the admin area should be added to a status page.

Share selected statusesShow carefully chosen monitor health without giving people access to the full admin system.
Public or private linksUse open status-page links where suitable, or private token links for more controlled sharing.
Useful during incidentsGive customers, staff or suppliers a clearer place to check whether known services are healthy.

New monitor checks for problems that are easy to miss

Alongside status pages, this round adds three practical monitor checks: domain expiry / RDAP, third-party service status and NTP / time checks. Each one is there for the same reason: some failures give warning signs long before users notice the outage.

Domain expiry checking helps avoid the classic “everything was working yesterday” problem caused by a missed renewal. Third-party service status checks help show when the issue may be with a supplier, platform or external service rather than the organisation’s own systems. NTP and time checks help catch clock drift before it causes confusing logs, certificate issues, failed scheduled jobs or authentication trouble.

Domain expiry / RDAPChecks renewal information and warns before an important domain quietly becomes a business problem.
Third-party service statusTracks important supplier or platform status so admins can spot when an issue may be outside their own systems.
NTP / time checkLooks for clock drift that can affect certificates, logs, authentication, reporting and scheduled tasks.

Monitor, posture and sharing split

Checks that alert, summaries that explain, pages that can be shared

The monitor side is for live checks that can warn or alert. The posture side is for showing patterns, weak spots and follow-up areas. Status pages are for sharing selected safe monitor health outside the admin area.

  • Domain expiry / RDAP belongs in monitors because renewal deadlines need clear warning.
  • Third-party service status belongs in monitors because supplier issues can affect live operations.
  • NTP / time checks belong in monitors because clock drift causes real operational faults.
  • Reputation, domain and time-health summaries belong in posture because they help admins review the wider health picture.
  • Status pages belong in the organisation admin area because teams need control over exactly which monitor statuses are safe to publish.

Posture now gives a broader health picture

The posture area is becoming more useful as a clear operational health view. This round adds malware and reputation checks, domain expiry summaries and NTP / time-health summaries.

That matters because a healthy service is not only about whether one check is green. A domain that is close to expiring, a public reputation warning, or a machine with bad time can all cause business pain. Putting those items into posture gives admins a better place to review them before they become urgent alerts.

Reputation

Warnings users can act on

Public-facing reputation signals are easier to spot and review alongside other posture items.

Domains

Renewal risk in one place

Domain expiry summaries help show which names need attention before renewal dates become urgent.

Time health

Clock issues made visible

Time-health summaries help expose clock drift that can confuse logs, reporting and automation.

User timezones make Salix Monitor 360 work better for worldwide teams

This is more than tidying a timestamp. Salix Monitor 360 now treats timezone as part of the user and organisation experience, so the app can support teams, customers and suppliers working in different parts of the world.

A user should not have to mentally convert every alert, report or dashboard time back to their own working day. The app can keep time handling consistent behind the scenes, while showing visible timestamps and scheduled report times in the timezone that makes sense for the viewer or organisation.

That is an important hosted-service feature. It helps daily reports arrive at the expected local time, makes wallboards easier to read, and reduces confusion when people in different locations are looking at the same incident history.

Consistent core reliable internal time handling User timezone viewer and organisation local context applied Scheduled reports sent and shown at the expected local time Dashboards timestamps match the reader's day Useful for teams, customers and suppliers working across different timezones.

Large-screen views and admin pages are cleaner

The Big Screen dashboard has had another polish pass. It is designed for wallboard-style use, where the most important status information needs to be readable from across a room and the “updated” time needs to be obvious.

Normal admin pages have also been protected from large-screen styling. That sounds small, but it matters: a TV dashboard should not distort the everyday admin layout, especially on mobile. The result is a cleaner split between large-display mode and normal admin work.

Big Screen

Clearer wallboard use

The large-screen view has been tightened so the dashboard feels more natural on a display.

Admin screens

Normal layout protected

Large-display styling is kept separate from normal admin pages so everyday use stays tidy.

Health reports

Useful daily checks

Daily health reporting now focuses on whether core services and scheduled checks are behaving as expected.

The product is being tightened for launch

A lot of the recent work is launch-quality work: more careful update handling, clearer platform health checks, clearer reporting, fewer layout surprises and more useful monitor coverage. That is not as flashy as a brand-new dashboard, but it is exactly the sort of work a monitoring product needs before people rely on it.

The goal is to make Salix Monitor 360 feel calm in normal use and helpful when something goes wrong. Status pages make selected service health easier to share. The new checks help catch more problems. The posture summaries help admins see patterns. User and organisation timezones make the product better suited to worldwide use. The large-screen polish makes live status easier to show to a team.

That is the direction of this build: fewer blind spots, clearer warnings and a product that is getting steadier as it moves towards public launch.
