docs: verify against real WHP + capture real screenshots
Discovery against the demo account on whp01 surfaced several inaccuracies:
- Cache is Valkey (Redis wire-compatible), not Redis or Memcached.
No Memcached is offered as a separate service.
- Site Monitoring is the sidebar label (not 'AI Monitor').
- 'Add a domain' has no Primary/Add-on distinction.
- Sites form: 'Container Type' (not 'Site type'), Number of Containers
(1-10 for horizontal scaling), CPU per Container (default 0.25),
Memory per Container (default 256MB), SSL inline on the same form.
- Backups: default retention 5 days / 10 backups; on-demand + scheduled;
S3 backup targets are visible and configurable.
- Email: per-domain settings live behind 'Setup Instructions' on the
Email page; mail server hostname is on the Dashboard (per-server,
e.g. mail01.cloud-hosting.io), not per-domain.
Also reworked the screenshot pipeline:
- New shots.config.ts targets the real index.php?page=... URLs
- Added redactSensitive() step that runs before each screenshot to swap
server names, IPs, mail hostnames, and demo-user-isms with neutral
placeholders. This keeps docs portable across the fleet.
- Hides .brand-full and .navbar-text (top-bar server identifier and
Welcome greeting).
- Captured 9 real WHP screenshots; removed stale placeholders.

Site Monitoring watches your site's logs, error rates, and access patterns in the background. If something looks unusual — a sustained spike in 500 errors, a brute-force pattern against a login page, a request matching a known exploit signature — you get an alert.

By default, alerts go to the contact email on your account. SMS is available for critical-severity events if you opt in.
2026-05-17 10:34:43 -07:00
## What's included
- **Real-time log scanning** across PHP, Apache, and access logs.
- **Brute-force detection** on auth endpoints (WordPress wp-login.php, generic /login, mail auth, SFTP).
- **Exploit-signature alerts** with severity grading (informational, warning, critical).
- **Per-rule ignore lists** so you can mute things you've already triaged or know are harmless for your site.
- **SMS notifications** for critical-severity alerts (configurable; off by default).

When the add-on isn't enabled, the page reads: *"AI monitoring is not enabled for any of your sites. Contact your hosting provider to enable this feature."*
Once enabled, the page shows a feed of events with severity badges and counts. Click an event for the full log context.

## Tuning false positives
Some signatures are noisier than others — for example, a security scanner you run yourself will trip every exploit-signature rule. Open the rule from the event detail and click **Ignore** to mute it for your account; the rule stays active for everyone else.
If you find yourself muting a rule frequently, [open a ticket](https://secure.anhonesthost.com/submitticket.php) — we may be able to tune the underlying rule for everyone instead of you suppressing each instance.
