Technical details of the integration

The following describes how the 360 Monitoring integration works:

  • The SolusVM Provisioning Module checks whether the Configurable Option name is set to 360 Monitoring.
  • If such an option exists and is assigned to the product, and the SolusVM product has the Offer 360 Monitoring integration checkbox selected, the WHMCS hook will add the integration checkbox and the consent form to the order page.
  • When a server with 360 Monitoring integration is being provisioned, WHMCS makes several API calls to the 360 Monitoring platform to create an account and generate an API token.
  • Once the API token is generated, WHMCS will extend cloud-init user data for the provisioned virtual server to configure the 360 Monitoring agent inside it.
  • It may take cloud-init several minutes to configure the 360 Monitoring agent (during the configuration, the wget utility will be installed, possibly triggering a system packages update).
  • Once the agent is configured, the graphs powered by the 360 Monitoring data will appear in the WHMCS User Area within the next 10 minutes.
