Site Audit 4: Track Your Drupal Sites Into the 4th Dimension

About this webinar

A single audit tells you where a Drupal site stands today. A stored history tells you whether it is getting better. Site Audit 4 keeps every report inside the site and can push it to a central server, so platform health becomes something you track and report on rather than re-check by hand.

Site Audit has been part of the Drupal toolchain since June 2013 and is reported in use on more than 2,100 sites. It runs a full analysis from the web admin and presents it as a readable pass-fail view. In this session, Jon Pugh, Senior Drupal Consultant at Vardot and a Site Audit maintainer, covers what version 4 adds, writes a Report and a Check live, and builds a basic Site Audit dashboard from scratch.

Version 4 was developed by ThinkDrop and sponsored by Vardot. It ships alongside a companion module, Site Audit Server, which receives reports from any number of Drupal sites over a straightforward REST API. Together they move site auditing from a manual task to something that runs on cron and reports centrally.

What you'll learn

• Store audit reports inside the site so you can compare results over time
• Add custom fields to extend what a report captures
• Generate reports automatically on cron
• Stand up a central Drupal site that collects audit reports from every site you run
• Send reports to Site Audit Server over REST, and act on the data it returns
• Write your own Reports and Checks for the standards your team holds sites to

Who this is for

Drupal developers, DevOps engineers, and technical leads responsible for more than one site. It is most useful if you maintain a multi-site estate or report on platform health to stakeholders outside the engineering team.

Requirements

Site Audit 4 supports Drupal 10.2 and Drupal 11. The current stable release is 4.1.3.
