Currently, Hudu's website monitoring tool is designed to track publicly accessible websites. However, for self-hosted Hudu instances, users often need to monitor local websites and domains that are not publicly accessible. This includes internal services such as:

RD Gateway servers

Internal applications

Locally hosted web services

Private intranet pages

This request is to extend Hudu's monitoring capabilities to support tracking SSL status, domain expiration, and uptime for local/internal websites.

Requested Features

Support for Local SSL Certificate Monitoring

Ability to track SSL expiration dates for local sites.

Alert users when certificates are nearing expiration.

Domain & DNS Expiry Tracking for Internal Domains

Monitor local domain expiration dates for internal DNS-managed domains.

Retrieve and display expiration details if available.

Local Website Uptime & Status Monitoring

Ability to track uptime of internally hosted websites.

Customizable health checks for locally hosted services.

Custom RDAP & WHOIS Integration for Internal Domains

Allow manual entry of domain details for tracking.

Support private/internal domain registries if applicable.

Use Cases:

IT teams managing on-premise or hybrid infrastructure can track internal services.

MSPs using self-hosted Hudu can monitor client environments that rely on internal servers.

Organizations using private CA-issued SSL certificates can get expiration alerts within Hudu.

Potential Implementation Considerations:

Allow users to manually add internal sites for monitoring.

Support integration with local network monitoring tools.

Provide an option for self-hosted instances to track non-public domains.

Conclusion:

Expanding Hudu’s monitoring to internal/local websites would enhance self-hosted users' ability to track critical infrastructure, ensuring better visibility into SSL expiration, domain tracking, and service uptime.

We would love to see this feature implemented in a future update!
