Introduction
Drupal agencies, freelancers, site builders and even Drupal site owners do need DRD (Drupal Remote Dashboard) because it is the one and only solution that provides a non-intrusive insight into any number of remote Drupal sites without the need of any third party service.
No matter where the Drupal sites are hosted and regardless of any configuration or deployment specifics, DRD is able to monitor and manage them all at once. The dashboard is build for Drupal 8, the monitored remote sites are supported on Drupal 6, 7 and 8.
Dependencies
The main DRD module requires taxonomy, update and views, all three from Drupal core, and in addition a couple of contrib modules such as EVA and Key value field. Other than that, it has no special requirements.
Each remote Drupal site that should be monitored, requires the DRD Agent module installed and enabled. This module brings all the code that needs to be executed remotely.
Of course, security and privacy comes first. And we've addressed that in the product architecture from day one. DRD brings the best possible convenience without compromising security or privacy. Read more and discuss about that topic in the Security chapter of the documentation.
