Edit the file allmon.js and change line 27 `expires: 7` from 7 to however many days you like.

For Supermon, check the value of you "session.gc\_maxlifetime= " setting in /etc/php/7.x/apache2/php.ini. The default value is 1440 seconds (24 minutes), which was driving me crazy. For more information, refer to [What is the default lifetime of a session?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/156712/what-is-the-default-lifetime-of-a-session):
