Smart Provisioning Watchdog
Auto-retry failed WHMCS provisioning with root-cause diagnosis and multi-channel alerts




Smart Provisioning Watchdog takes over what WHMCS has refused to fix for 8 years: failed provisioning recovery. The native Module Queue is fully manual with zero automation and zero diagnostics — when cPanel times out during a promo, you fix dozens of hosting accounts by hand. This addon plugs into AfterModule*Failed hooks plus a 5-minute cron sweep to catch every failure, classifies each one by root cause (network / auth / quota / state / unknown), and gives admins a clean dashboard grouped by category instead of a flat unsorted queue.
Free tier delivers a failures dashboard with one-click bulk retry per category, a daily HTML digest email, and an Admin Home widget showing 24h/7d failure rate plus top failing modules. Pro tier adds the real differentiator: automatic exponential backoff retry (60s -> 5m -> 15m -> 1h -> 4h -> 24h with 20% jitter), Slack / Telegram / custom Webhook alerts with adaptive 24h dedup and recovery notifications, a Dead Letter Queue for items needing human attention, custom YAML/UI root-cause rules with regex matching, and trend reports including failure heatmaps and MTTR by module.
Maintenance Mode silences alerts during planned work and posts a single summary afterward. Built for hosts running promos, migrations, or large fleets where unattended failures used to mean late-night manual cleanup. Pairs with incident_commander (auto-ticket on DLQ), smart_alerting_hub (alert routing), and service_status (health sync) for a complete ops loop.
