FAQs
-
What is a dashboard seat?
A dashboard seat is the access to Kahu's dashboard. The number of seats represents the number of users that can be registered to access the dashboard. -
What is a code committer?
A code committer is a user who made a commit to a monitored repository in the past 30 days. -
Do I have to share private source code with Kahu?
No. Kahu only needs access to the metadata stored on a lockfile. -
How are the number of unique dependencies measured?
If two or more monitored projects require the same package (e.g., monolog/monolog) as a direct or transitive dependency, it will be counted a single time towards the account limit.
