The available realtime triggers for Joomla sites

Near Realtime File Checks

You can opt in to have a set of files monitored on your site, which, when modified, your site will inform us and we will alert you.

This is “near realtime” as the actual trigger is a load of any page on your site – so for example, if a file is modified, the very next time any page on your site is loaded, we will be alerted. We call this “near realtime” but in practice it is actually realtime for a normal website as the action of modifying a file through a web interface will trigger the alert. Its only delayed to “near realtime” if the file was modified over FTP and then there was some time before a page was loaded.

Each files md5 hash is calculated and stored on your server, on every page load we recalculate the md5 of the current file and compare that to the hash that is cached. If the md5 has changed then we send you an alert.

You can add unlimited files in this list, although in practice a short list of important files, including your configuration and template files (the places hackers like to hack) will suffice

Whitelist your own IP

You can also whitelist certain IP Addresses so that they do not cause false alarms when you yourself are making changes.

BONUS: SSL Expiration Alerting

We know other services have recently been shouting that they do this, but we have been doing this since 2012 😉

If your SSL certificate is getting close to expiration, we will alert you, according again to your preference, you can also set the number of grace days you would like before being alerted to the expiration.
