Site.module is a Drupal module that provides a way to track the state of your website over time.
In addition to URLs, Site entities store properties about the site such as Last Cron, Install Time, PHP and Drupal Versions.
It uses Drupal status report & Site Audit module to determine an overall state of your Drupal site. Create your own simple plugins for storing properties and affect state.
Site entity properties are Drupal fields. This means that you can use any Drupal site building API to create your own Site Manager Dashboard.
Site entities have revisions for tracking site information over time. Event handlers can trigger a site revision, including a log message. This provides a history of changes over time, including what configuration changes occured.
Site Manager is used for storing information on many sites in one place. It has an API that allows it to receive site entities from remote sites.
Since site.module lets a Drupal site post out from itself, any site hosted anywhere can send updates to a Site Manager. This includes CI environments, even ephemeral ones running in git runners or ones protected from behind a firewall.
Site Manager uses Drupal's JSON:API to send and receive site entities from remote locations.
Drupal sites with Site.module installed can post information to a Site Manager or any other URL.
Non-Drupal systems can also post site information to a Site Manager via JSON:API. See the Drupal.org JSON:API documentation for general information.
