Getting Started with NonaGuard

Everything you need to monitor your Odoo instance health, from first scan to continuous monitoring.

1Quick Start

Get your first Pulse Score in under 60 seconds. No installation required.

Sign up — Create an account at nonaguard.com/signup. 14-day free trial included.
Add your instance — Go to Instances → Add Instance. Enter your Odoo URL, database name, and API key (or username/password). Credentials are AES-encrypted at rest.
Run your first scan — Click Scan Now. Within 60 seconds you'll see your Pulse Score (0–100) with a detailed breakdown of deprecated modules, permission risks, and custom code issues.

2Understanding Your Pulse Score

The Pulse Score is a 0–100 health metric for your Odoo instance. Higher is better.

Score Ranges & Grades

90–100 (A) — Excellent. Minimal risk. Ready for upgrades.
75–89 (B) — Good. Some minor issues to address.
60–74 (C) — Fair. Notable risks. Plan remediation before major upgrades.
40–59 (D) — Poor. Significant deprecated modules or permission gaps.
0–39 (F) — Critical. High risk of upgrade failures or security issues.

The score combines deprecated module count, permission vulnerabilities, custom code risks, and other heuristics. Each finding has a severity and contributes to the overall grade.

3Setting Up Continuous Monitoring

Keep your Pulse Score up to date automatically and get alerted when things change.

Scheduled scans — Enable daily or weekly scans in Instance Settings. NonaGuard runs scans via Celery Beat in the background.
Score drop alerts — Receive email notifications when your Pulse Score drops by 5+ points between scans.
Critical risk notifications — Get instant alerts when new high-severity or critical vulnerabilities are detected.

For the best experience, use the NonaGuard Connector — it pushes data hourly with no open ports or manual scans.

4Installing the Connector Module

The NonaGuard Connector is a free native Odoo module that automatically pushes health data every hour — no manual scans, no open ports, works behind any firewall.
