This release brings enhancements to log monitoring, PHP management, SSL handling, UI usability, and application-level controls.

The goal of this update is simple: make server and application management more reliable, more transparent, and easier to handle for users of all experience levels. In this blog, we’ll walk through every major feature, improvement, and fix included in ServerAvatar v7.15.3.

This release is not about flashy changes alone, it’s about removing friction from daily server tasks and giving users more confidence and clarity. Whether you’re managing a single website or multiple applications, these updates are designed to make your life easier without adding complexity.

Let’s walk through what’s new and why it matters to you.

Overview of ServerAvatar v7.15.3

This release improves how users interact with servers and applications inside the ServerAvatar dashboard. The update adds better controls at the server level and application level, improves notifications, and refines the interface to reduce manual effort.

The changes are especially helpful for users managing multiple applications or working with different PHP versions and monitoring setups.

Feature Update Highlights

1. Log Monitoring Suite (InsightHub) Management

Logs are like a server’s diary, they tell you exactly what happened and when. ServerAvatar now allows full control over the Insighthub Log Monitoring Suite. With this update, Insighthub log monitoring becomes far more flexible.

You can now easily install, update, or remove Insighthub at:

• Server level
• Application level

This means you’re no longer locked into a one-size-fits-all setup. You decide where deep monitoring is needed and where it’s not.

What’s new
Users can:

• Install Insighthub at the server level
• Install Insighthub at the application level
• Update Insighthub when a new version is available
• Remove Insighthub when monitoring is no longer needed

Why this matters

Previously, log monitoring options were more limited. With this update, users can choose exactly where detailed log tracking is required. This helps reduce unnecessary monitoring overhead and keeps logs focused on critical applications.
