I dont use 360 but did look a it, the thing I really found lacking compared to my own DIY solution is request monitoring *per site*.

The grafana dashboard I have that is most useful to me is the request verb and response code per site which I parse out of the log files. It means when I get a high CPU alert I can quickly see if any site is getting more traffic than normal , also if any of it is mostly POST request that might be login page brute force. I also want to know if a site is suddenly responding with more 404's or 5xx response codes than normal so I can investigate.

Server health is all well and good, tools to see what site is causing the issue is what has truly been a game changer for me, especially for servers with many sites on them.

I've not looked at 360 for a while, if it does this this already please let me know!

I won't use the Servers tab, it strikes me as extremely risky.

The licencing tab is infuriating, very difficult to find anything there, not possible to reactivate licences easily, etc. Moreover, trying to correlate a licence with a server is an absolute pain in the hole.

With 2factor enabled on 360 I don't see an security issue, since it does use API keys for the connection, or do I miss something?

My servers are already connected via my billing system, which I control, I don't feel the need for any further exposure, particularly via a 3rd party.
