Question Manage multiple plesk servers

[kevinjansen]

Server operating system version

Alma 8

Plesk version and microupdate number

Obsidian 18.0.51

Dear Community,

Is there a easy way/tool to manage multiple plesk servers from a single interface. For example:
Currently we have around 90 plesk servers and another 50 coming soon. But when someone decided that a service plan needs to be changed (bigger specs for example), or a new service plan needs to be adopted i need to login to all the servers and modify the plans.

We can control Plesk over API, but maybe Plesk has a build-in management server allready?

Kind regards,

Kevin

Have you tried Plesk 360 ?

 

[kevinjansen]

No is that also to manage service plans? I thought it was monitoring only.

It is the maximum you can get at the moment. Please just try it. It is free for 1 server, so you can test what is offered.

So what exactly does Plesk 360 offer that helps in managing multiple servers? I can't seems to find anything when I login ....

It looks like a jump host from which you can quickly log in to another Plesk server or subscription on another Plesk server and start managing it.

Ah, right. I can see that being somewhat useful when you have a to manage a large amount of servers. My server stack is too small, so I guess I missed point.

@kevinjansen The Plesk API's, CLI and Ansible (and a lot of coding) is as far as I've gotten to automate things.

It's work-in-progress:

360 provides you with a single place to work with your servers. You can add multiple servers to the Server Inventory page on the Servers tab and start managing them from 360. At the moment, 360 users can log in to any added server without providing login credentials. More management features will be implemented soon.

Hmm, well, this sounds nice to have:

• Global search: searching for domains and customers across servers registered in Server Inventory
• Plesk Web Installer integration: creating a Plesk server directly in 360

What I would like to see is:

• A quick overview of the Monitoring page of each server: disk usage, CPU usage, etc.
• A quick overview of the Diagnose & Repair status per server
• The available updates per server

I need to tinker about this for a few days, I'm sure I'll come up with other things I would like to see.

Hi,
If it is possible for your software developers to do this; When we add the server to platform360, it only lists the Main domains. It does not show Alias domain names on the server. It would be nice to see these under Websites in platform360. Thanks to this feature, it will be easier to see which domain name has been added to which server, as well as which domain name has been added as an alias.

@ahmetg that sounds like a great suggestion. We use UserVoice to collect all user suggestions and ideas. Other users can vote suggestions, and top most voted features might make it in to development. Please also add your idea to UserVoice so other user can vote for it.

Thank you for the information. I did what you said and added it as an idea in the relevant forum.
