360 servers

Last modified: June 8, 2022

Overview

The Servers tab contains the Servers Inventory table, which displays each server’s name, server type (Plesk, etc.), status, and two action buttons:

Log in to the server’s Plesk interface.
Synchronize data from the server to 360.

Add a server

Important:

The server must have Plesk version 18.0.37 or later installed.
If the server uses a self-signed or invalid certificate, 360 will display a security warning. You must replace the self-signed or invalid certificate with one signed by a Certificate Authority before you can add the server to 360.

Add a server from 360

To add a server to 360, perform the following steps:

Click the plus symbol ( + ). A new window will appear.
Enter the server’s hostname and port (for example, example.com:8443).
Click Proceed. The server’s Plesk login screen will appear.
Click Confirm to connect the server and Deny to cancel.

Add a server from Plesk

To add a server to 360 from the Plesk interface, perform the following steps:

From Plesk’s top navigation bar, click the cloud icon.
Click Connect. The 360 interface will appear.
Either log in with your email address and password or sign up for a new account. A new window will appear.
Click Confirm to connect the server and Deny to cancel.

Add a server from Plesk using the CLI

You can use the CLI to connect a Plesk server to 360. 360 uses API tokens for authentication. For more information on API tokens, read our API Token documentation.

Reading an API token from a file

Note:

The following example assumes you are storing your API token in the /path/to/file/with/secret location.
The API token in the /path/to/file/with/secret file must have read and write permissions set for the file owner.

To connect your Plesk server to 360 via the CLI by reading an API token from a file, use the following command:

plesk ext platform360 --connect-server -p360-key-file /path/to/file/with/secret

Entering an API token manually

To connect your Plesk server to 360 via the CLI by entering the API token manually, use the following command:

plesk ext platform360 --connect-server -p360-key-file

Using the Plesk REST API

If you wish to use the Plesk REST API to install 360 on a Plesk server, you must set the P360_API_KEY environment variable. To set the P360_API_KEY environment variable, use the following commands:

export P360_API_KEY=<API_TOKEN_STRING>
plesk ext platform360 --connect-server

Use the following command to unset the P360_API_KEY environment variable for security purposes when you are done:

unset P360_API_KEY

Disconnect a server

To disconnect a server from the 360 interface, perform the following steps:

Select the checkbox in the server’s row.
Click Disconnect. A confirmation window will appear.
Click Disconnect.

To disconnect a server from the Plesk interface, perform the following steps:

From Plesk’s top navigation bar, click the cloud icon.
Click Disconnect from Plesk 360. The Plesk 360 interface will appear.
Select the checkbox in the server’s row.
Click Disconnect. A confirmation window will appear.
Click Disconnect.

Note:

You can also disconnect a server by disabling the 360 API Token in Plesk.
