<p>Vigilant Healthchecks provides a REST healthcheck endpoint at <code>/wp-json/vigilant/v1/health</code> with an admin interface to conrol which checks are executed.<br />
This plugin is designed to integrate with <a href="https://govigilant.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Vigilant</a>, an all-in-one web monitoring tool which can be self-hosted.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Protected REST endpoint with configurable token.</li>
<li>Built-in checks for database connectivity, core versions, plugin updates, cron freshness, Redis, and WordPress Site Health issues.</li>
<li>Metrics catalogue for memory, disk, CPU load, and database size with sensible caching defaults.</li>
<li>Extensible registry and hooks (<code>vigilant_healthchecks_prepare</code>, <code>vigilant_healthchecks_cron_threshold</code>, <code>vigilant_healthchecks_database_size_cache_ttl</code>) so you can add custom checks and metrics.</li>
<li>Scheduler heartbeat (<code>vigilant_healthchecks_cron_monitor</code>) that validates WP-Cron is actually running and reports stale schedules.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Configure the bearer token under <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Vigilant Healthchecks</strong>; every REST request must include <code>Authorization: Bearer <token></code>.</li>
<li>Toggle the checks and metrics you want to expose; disabled items are never instantiated so they have zero runtime impact.</li>
<li>Call the endpoint yourself or configure your website in Vigilant.</li>
</ol>
