Reading Your Server Health Dashboard (XPulse)

2 min read

Overview #

The XPulse dashboard is Xponent’s server health view: a simple, at-a-glance status screen that shows you how your site is performing, with clear health badges instead of raw technical data.

🚧 Coming soon: Client access to XPulse is currently in development. This article explains what you’ll see when it launches. Until then, monitoring is active on our side: if something needs your attention, our team will contact you directly.

What You’ll See #

When XPulse goes live for clients, the dashboard will show:

Section What it tells you
Uptime status Whether your site is up, down, or recovering: with history
Resource usage CPU, memory, and disk at a glance (Green/Amber/Red)
Plugin health Which plugins are current, outdated, or have known issues
Backup status When the last backup ran and whether it verified
SSL & domain Certificate validity and domain expiry

Understanding the Health Badges #

  • 🟢 Green: Everything is running normally. No action needed.
  • 🟡 Amber: Something needs attention soon (e.g., disk usage climbing, a plugin update available). You’ll usually see a suggested action.
  • 🔴 Red: Action required. If you see red, contact support immediately (or respond to our alert if we’ve already reached out).

What Happens Behind the Scenes (Right Now) #

Even before XPulse is client-facing, every Xponent site is monitored:

  • Uptime checks every 15 minutes via Better Stack, with alerts routed to our team
  • Automated backups on a schedule, verified after creation
  • Security scanning: if a vulnerability is found, we act before it becomes an incident

The dashboard will simply make this visible to you.

What to Do While You Wait #

If you suspect an issue today, don’t wait for a dashboard: contact support via email (su*****@********co.za) or your plan’s channel. Include your site URL and what you’re seeing.
