Manager for Craft

Features

What Manager for Craft reports about every site

Each site runs a small Craft plugin that reports outbound on a schedule. Manager for Craft collects those reports and answers what a maintenance rota actually asks: what is outstanding, what is urgent, and what stopped working. It only ever reads.

What Manager for Craft watches

  • Updates Outstanding Craft and plugin updates across every site.
  • Security Security releases flagged per site and per plugin.
  • Licences Craft editions and commercial plugin entitlements.
  • Backups Encrypted database backups, daily or weekly.
  • Certificates TLS expiry and issuer, checked from outside the site.
  • Capacity Disk space, queue depth and pending migrations.

All our features explained in detail

Craft is not just another integration

Manager reports the operational information Craft developers already work with: plugin handles, Composer constraints, Project Config state, pending migrations, queue health. It does not reduce a website to a generic uptime percentage.

  • Craft CMS 4.4+ and 5

    both majors, one plugin

  • Editions and licences

    solo · pro · enterprise

  • Plugin handles and versions

    vendor/package · 5.2.0

  • Composer constraints

  • Queue health

    failed jobs · backlog age

  • PHP and database compatibility

  • Craft-native database backups

    db/backup, not mysqldump guesswork

What we won't touch

These are boundaries we chose, not gaps waiting to be filled. Each one is why we can hold forty of your client sites without becoming the most attractive target in your infrastructure.

  • Installing updates

    An update is a deployment. On any Craft site worth managing, composer update is followed by migrations, a project config sync, a cache clear and somebody looking at the front end. A monitoring tool reaching in would bypass all of it. Installing also requires filesystem write access and command execution on forty servers, and a compromised Manager holding that becomes a supply chain.

  • Restoring a backup into a site

    Manager cannot write to your site. Retrieval is a command you run against storage, on a machine you choose, with a key we do not hold.

  • Running console commands or queries

    Three jobs exist and none of them takes a command, a path, a query or a URL. A build script fails if code capable of any of those appears in the connector.

  • Storing your credentials

    No Craft administrator password, no SSH key, no site database password. There is nowhere in the schema to put one, and a test walks the live database on every run to keep it that way.

Two more things are not built yet, and we say which on the roadmap.
