Salix Monitor 360 · Launch preview
Salix Monitor 360 app preview
A visual recap of the Salix Monitor 360 app before public launch, showing dashboards, monitors, agents, alerts, incidents, reports, security posture, organisations, in-app help and companion apps.
The public Salix website is still being prepared for launch, so this Willow Software page acts as a taster: what the app does, what the main areas look like, and how the pieces fit together before the quiet public opening.

What it is
A practical app tour before Salix Monitor 360 goes live.
Salix Monitor 360 brings monitoring, alerting, incidents, organisation admin, reporting and security posture into one app. This page is a plain-English recap for people who want to see what it will feel like before the public site opens fully.
Collect signals
- Websites, APIs and key journeys.
- DNS, certificates, ports and ping checks.
- Databases, dependencies and internal tools.
Route action
- Warning and critical alert paths.
- Email, Slack, Discord, Teams, web push and webhooks.
- Quiet hours and cooldowns to reduce noise.
Share evidence
- Incident notes and timelines.
- Dashboards for day-to-day visibility.
- PDF summaries, CSV exports and audit trails.
The screenshots below are taken from the current Salix Monitor 360 application and are intended as a preview of the launch experience, not a final public account screen.
Somnarium engine
Somnarium: calm engineering, built in.
Somnarium is the engine that runs beneath Salix Monitor 360, designed around one principle: monitoring should be steady and reliable, not loud and theatrical. It watches continuously, correlates signals over time, trims away noise, and preserves the context that operators need when something does go wrong.
It helps build defaults that respect sleep, incidents that read like a clear timeline rather than a jumble of alerts, and organisation boundaries that keep data trustworthy. The result is an app that makes fewer demands on your attention day-to-day, yet responds faster when it truly matters, keeping systems healthy even when no one is watching.
Built on
What Salix Monitor 360 is built on.
Salix Monitor 360 is being built as a practical web-first platform. The main application uses a LAMP stack, the screens use HTML, CSS, JavaScript and AJAX where live updates make sense, and background workers handle monitoring, alert routing and reporting. The companion apps sit on their own release path.
Core monitoring
Active monitor types for the things people notice when they fail.
Core monitoring covers website and API checks, content checks, DNS, TLS/SSL, ping, TCP port, database checks, Windows Event Log checks, domain expiry/RDAP, third-party service status and NTP/time checks. The monitor list gives teams a single place to review what is watched and where attention is needed.
Web and application checks
- HTTP/HTTPS website checks.
- API endpoint and response-time checks.
- Content or keyword checks for important text.
Network and domain checks
- DNS checks for key hostnames.
- TLS/SSL certificate expiry checks.
- Ping and TCP port checks.
Operational and newer checks
- Database availability and latency checks.
- Windows Event Log monitoring where agents are used.
- Domain expiry/RDAP, third-party status and NTP/time checks.
Salix Agents
Internal visibility without opening inbound firewall holes.
Salix Agents are for Windows, Linux and macOS hosts. They make outbound HTTPS check-ins with an organisation token, so private machines can report useful monitoring signals back into Salix Monitor 360.
Host health
- CPU, memory, disk and uptime signals.
- Service, daemon, process and selected event-log checks.
- Network counters and basic host health.
Operational control
- Tokens are generated inside the organisation account.
- Tokens can be revoked when access changes.
- Results sit inside the right organisation and user scope.
Agents are created from organisation tokens and check in over outbound HTTPS. The app keeps agent setup, registered devices and update guidance in the same area so rollout is easier to follow.
Alerts and incidents
Alerts with a story, not just another noisy inbox.
Alerts link back to the monitor, rule, organisation and incident history. The point is to show what happened, who was told, what was acknowledged, and how the issue moved from warning to critical to stable.
Rules with common sense
- Separate warning and critical paths.
- Scope by monitors, tags or specific services.
- Cooldowns to prevent repeat nagging.
Channels teams use
- Email with clear subjects.
- Slack, Discord and Microsoft Teams webhooks.
- Web push and generic webhooks for ticketing or internal tools.
Incident records
- Timeline of what happened and when.
- Notes, references and useful context.
- Automatic close when checks are stable.
The incidents screen is designed to show what happened, which rule was involved, how severe it is and what follow-up notes have been added, without forcing users to dig through raw logs first.
Dashboards and reports
Views for everyday users, organisation admins and people who just need the answer.
Salix is being built with dashboards for day-to-day operational work, Big Screen views for support rooms, and reporting for uptime, incidents, agents, posture, trends and audit evidence.
Everyday users
- Personal dashboard for relevant monitors.
- Current issues and recent alerts.
- Links into incident timelines.
Organisation admins
- Organisation-level monitors, users, teams and agents.
- Noisy monitor and ownership views.
- Reports and exports for reviews.
Leadership and clients
- Plain-language summaries.
- PDF reports and CSV exports.
- History and evidence rather than raw log archaeology.
Different views are aimed at different jobs: personal dashboards for everyday users, admin dashboards for organisation owners, Big Screen views for shared visibility and reports for review evidence.
Status pages and time zones
Public and private service status, shown in the right local time.
Salix now includes service status views for public-facing communication and private operational use alike. Time zone handling is being built into dashboards, scheduled reports and displayed dates so teams do not have to translate everything from server time.
Public service status
- Customer-safe status pages for selected services.
- Healthy, degraded and down states.
- Useful incident visibility without exposing internal detail.
Private service status
- Internal status views for admins and teams.
- Status linked back to monitors, alerts and incidents.
- Better visibility for private services and internal dependencies.
Time zone aware
- User, organisation and report time zones.
- Big Screen, reports and schedules show local context.
- Storage stays consistent while the UI speaks human time.
Status pages sit beside monitoring so selected service health can be shared clearly, while the underlying monitors and incidents remain managed inside the app.
Security posture
Basic security checks beside uptime, written for people who need to act.
Salix Monitor 360 is not trying to replace a full security platform. It is designed to make useful hygiene signals visible alongside availability: certificates, HTTPS, headers, cookies, DNS and email hygiene, with vulnerability summaries where configured.
Posture checks
- Certificate inventory and expiry warnings.
- HTTPS enforcement, HSTS, CORS and cookie flags.
- SPF, DKIM and DMARC visibility.
Vulnerability summaries
- Nmap, OWASP ZAP and Nuclei results where configured.
- Grouped findings by host, severity and time.
- Readable next-action summaries instead of scanner sludge.
Posture and vulnerability screens are written to sit beside uptime monitoring: enough detail to make the next action clear, without pretending to replace a full security operations platform.
Organisations, users and branding
Clean boundaries for main organisations, linked organisations, admins and users.
The app is being built around organisation scope, not one giant shared bucket. That means separate monitors, agents, alerts and reports per organisation, approved organisation switching, user roles and audit trails.
Organisation model
- Start with one main organisation.
- Paid accounts can create linked organisations.
- Useful for clients, departments, locations or teams.
Users and roles
- Organisation admins invite and manage users.
- Everyday users see relevant services.
- Super-user controls can support in-house setups.
Branding
- Organisation logo, colour choices and footer text.
- Workspaces feel familiar to teams and clients.
- Bespoke branding can be scoped separately where needed.
Organisation admin is a major part of the app: linked organisations, members, teams, invites, branding, billing, usage limits, topology and audit logs all help keep boundaries clear.
Admin operations
The admin area covers the day-to-day account work around monitoring.
Beyond monitors and alerts, organisation admins need to manage invitations, billing state, usage, app devices and audit evidence. These pages are included in the preview because they show the operational wrapper around the monitoring engine.
Who it helps
Built for teams that need clearer proof their important services are watched.
SaaS and digital products
- Monitor sign-up, login, checkout, APIs and certificates.
- Track incidents that customers actually feel.
- Turn uptime into review-ready summaries.
Internal IT
- Keep VPNs, file servers, internal apps and key machines visible.
- Use agents for on-prem hosts.
- Record incidents, notes and audit history.
Service providers
- Separate client work with linked organisations.
- Keep central visibility without mixing client records.
- Produce client-ready reports and posture summaries.
In-app help
Help is built into the app for both users and organisation admins.
The launch preview now includes the app help pages as screenshots because they show where people will find guidance after signing in. Everyday users get Help & Documentation, while organisation admins also get Admin help covering setup, organisation management and operational guidance.
Companion apps
The web app remains the control centre. Salix Alert Desk keeps active alerts close.
The companion app work is developed separately from the main Salix Monitor 360 web app. Salix Alert Desk keeps active warnings, critical alerts, notes and safe incident actions visible without needing to live in the browser all day.
Windows companion

Launch note
This page is a preview while the Salix site is in maintenance mode.
Salix Monitor 360 is aiming for a quiet public opening around September 2026, once the remaining launch polish and end-to-end testing have been worked through. This Willow Software page has been updated as a visual app recap so people can see the main product areas before the public Salix site fully opens.
Screenshots shown on this page may differ slightly from the final live version of the Salix Monitor 360 app and companion apps. The purpose is to show the shape of the product: what it monitors, how alerts and evidence work, where admins manage organisations, and how help is presented inside the app.
