TYPO3 instance setup

In order to let tObserver monitor a TYPO3 instance, you must install the tObserver TYPO3 extension from TER or GitHub. The TYPO3 extension is required, so the tObserver server can receive data from your TYPO3 instance. The data will be sent in JSON format from your TYPO3 instance to the tObserver API with the HTTPS protocol.

TYPO3 Extension

The installation and setup of the tObserver TYPO3 extension is easy and processed in 3 steps.

1. Install the tObserver TYPO3 extension from TER or GitHub.

2. Set the Instance ID and the Auth token in the extension settings as shown below.

   
3. Finally, you must configure a TYPO3 scheduler task for the tObserver "instanceStatus: update" task, which sends the instance data the tObserver server. It is recommended to let the scheduler task run every 6 hours.

What data will be tranfered?

Please see this article in our FAQ.

SSL encrypted transfer

The data sent from your TYPO3 instance to the tObserver server will be transmitted using SSL encryption.

Unidirectional communication

The tObserver TYPO3 extension communicates unidirectional, which means that the tObserver server can not access your TYPO3 instance.
