System Snapshot

Sends a compiled report about the current Craft installation, on demand and/or on a recurring schedule.

System Snapshot compiles a report about the current Craft installation, and sends it via your configured message type. The report data includes basic Craft information, plugin versions (including pending updates), and queue health.

Twig Variables

Report data will be available in the message template under the report Twig variable.

See the System Snapshot variables for the full reference and examples.

Send Manually

After saving the notification, a "Send" button will appear in the page header (next to the "Save" button). Click it to compile and send the report immediately.

Send on a Recurring Schedule

Enable Send on a Recurring Schedule to send reports automatically. Configure the schedule to determine how frequently it will be sent out.

Set up Scheduled Sending

Before this trigger will fire, you will need to run the schedule on a recurring basis.

Configure Recurring Schedule

After enabling Send on a Recurring Schedule, configure the ongoing cadence:

ControlDescription
EveryFrequency of runs
UnitDays / Weeks / Months / Years
On
  • Weekly: Day of the week (Monday - Sunday)
  • Monthly: Day of the month (1 - 28)
  • Yearly: Month & day (e.g. "January 1")
AtTime of day
Starting onDate the schedule begins

Max 28 days per month

Day of the month is capped at 28, so that every month (including February) always has the specified day.

Missed opportunities

If a scheduled run is missed for any reason (e.g. the server was down or the cron didn't fire), only one notification will be sent on the following scheduled run. Missed runs will not be retried automatically.
