WireStatus Client

This is a lightweight ProcessWire module that securely exposes system diagnostics and pending module updates via a token-authorized JSON API endpoint.

It is designed to work in conjunction with the WireStatus (Master/Dashboard) module.

Features

• Secure API endpoint exposing ProcessWire version, PHP version, active database details, debug mode, HTTPS state, page and user counts.
• Exposes list of modules requiring upgrades (using the native ProcessWireUpgrade module, if installed).
• Generates a cryptographically secure token on install to authenticate requests.
• Renders a copy-paste master configuration helper line in the settings.

Installation

1. Upload the WireStatusClient directory to your client site's /site/modules/ directory.
2. In your ProcessWire admin panel, go to Modules > Site > Install > WireStatus Client and click Install.
3. Go to the module configuration screen.
4. Check Enable Client API.
5. Copy the generated Master Configuration Line.
6. Paste it into the Monitored Clients text area of your master installation's WireStatus settings.

Security

• Requests are authorized using the custom HTTP header X-WireStatus-Token or the fallback query parameter token.
• Make sure to use HTTPS for production sites to secure transit token values.
