<p>The plugin records activity across users, content, media, comments, plugins, themes, settings, updates, privacy workflows, and other core WordPress operations. Logs are stored in a custom indexed table for fast filtering and large datasets.</p>

<li>Configure retention cleanup, privacy controls, alert rules, and scheduled reports.</li>
<li>Verify log integrity with a tamper-evident hash chain.</li>
<li>Use WP-CLI commands for stats, cleanup, export, repair, reporting, benchmarking, and integrity verification.</li>
