Getting Started with SiteCenter

SiteCenter is a public monitoring suite for websites, domains, SSL certificates, servers, and agency workflows. The platform quietly checks your critical infrastructure every 30 seconds from 30+ global regions, detects SSL/domain expiration, tracks backlinks, and raises instantly actionable alerts via email, Telegram, Slack, Webhook, or hosted status pages.

What SiteCenter Protects

  • Domain & SSL Expiry Alerts: multiple reminders (30, 14, 7, and 1 day) plus renewal guides for every SSL type (single-domain, wildcard, SAN/EV) and TLD.
  • Website Monitoring: 24/7 uptime, response-time, content, and security checks; real-time graphs and 12-month history keep you on top of performance trends and SEO health.
  • Server Monitoring: host statistics, ping/port checks, service-specific probes and cron-run infrastructure agents ensure your systems stay online and responsive.
  • Tasks & Incidents: transform incidents into tracked actions, route them to the right people, and keep clients informed with white-label reports and status pages.
  • Agencies: manage hundreds of client projects from one dashboard, generate branded reports, and route alerts per client or severity level.

Quick-start flow

  1. Create or connect your account. Sign in at https://sitecenter.app (no credit card required) and land on the dashboard where you can view domains, monitors, servers, and alerts in one pane.
  2. Add a website, domain, or server. Use the Add monitor button to start uptime, SEO, SSL, or backlink checks. Domains and certificates are detected automatically, while Linux servers can be auto-registered using the shell script linked in the workspace Servers section.
  3. Configure alerting. Choose notification channels (email, SMS, Slack, Telegram, Discord, or webhook) and set quiet hours, escalation rules, and incident priorities to avoid false positives.
  4. Review dashboards and reports. Every check feeds real-time graphs, availability summaries, and status pages; paid plans can publish white-label reports for stakeholders.
  5. Access the API. Visit the Integrations menu item to generate API tokens and webhook URLs; these credentials power the REST surface documented under API Specifications in this repo.

API tokens & integrations

API tokens created in the Integrations section authorize external tools or automation scripts. Use them with the documented endpoints (for example, /api/v1/acc/{accountCode}/ws/{wsId}/servers/getSecret), and rotate tokens whenever a secret is compromised. If you are building custom dashboards or hooking into SiteCenter alerts, follow the authentication and payload requirements shown in API Specifications to stay aligned with the public contract.

What’s in these docs

  • Monitoring how-to (this site) explains high-level workflows for uptime, SSL, domain, server, and audit checks.
  • API Specifications describe every public endpoint, expected payloads, and activation steps for API-driven automation.
  • Monitoring runbooks cover uptime, alerting, and recovery steps under Monitoring > Uptime/SSL.

Keep this documentation updated as the SiteCenter backend API or integrations evolve, and link any new integration flows back to the API Specifications section so external developers can consume the services successfully.
