Overview

To get the most out of Fleetview you can keep track of all of the environments, websites and servers.

Servers

Add servers to keep track of all of the important details relating to your servers such as the IP address, contact info and costs. Each of your environments can be related to a server so you and your team know have the details they need to work on the site.

Environments

An environment is an instance of your website. You might have multiple staging environments and a lovely site, or maybe you only have a live site. It's up to you which environments you track.

Websites

Installing the Fleetview client module

The Fleetview client module provides the environments data such as module status and status report to your Fleetview dashboard. The data is accessible only using a secure key generated for each environment. The data is also encrypted so that it can only be read by the Fleetview dashboard.

1. Run composer require drupal/fleetview_client
2. Enable the module through the Extend page or by running drush en fleetview_client
3. Go to Configuration > System > Fleetview client
4. Here you will find the Connection token which you need to enrol the new environment on your dashboard

Adding additional content to your records

All environments, websites and servers can have additional content. You can add documents, links, notes and snippets.
