Akeeba Panopticon

Self-hosted site monitoring.

Get Started • Downloads • Documentation • Issues

What's that?

Akeeba Panopticon is a standalone PHP application. You install on a domain or subdomain separate from your sites. You can then use it to monitor and manage all of your sites remotely.

Panopticon is the Open Source alternative to proprietary third party services. With Panopticon you own your data. You don't have to trust a third party with full access to your sites, and your clients' sites. You don't have to pay a third party a fee for every site you monitor.

Currently, it supports sites running on Joomla 4 and later.

Who's it for?

Site integrators and web agencies with dozens to hundreds of sites who want to keep their costs under control.

Privacy–minded users with at least a moderate experience in web site management, and likely fewer than a dozen sites, who would rather not rely on a third party service.

The server running Panopticon must meet the following minimum requirements:

• PHP 8.1 or later; PHP 8.2 recommended
