PatchMon provides host and package update statistics including total hosts, hosts needing updates, and security update counts.

The PatchMon widget requires users to be **signed in to Homarr**; see the [PatchMon widget documentation](/docs/widgets/patchmon#authentication) for details on authentication and public boards.
