GEO Metrics AI Traffic Monitor turns your raw server and WordPress logs into actionable intelligence about AI bot traffic. In a world where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity crawl billions of pages to power their answers, knowing whether those bots visit your site — and what they read — is a new SEO frontier.
The plugin works out of the box with zero configuration. It reads your existing <code>debug.log</code>, access logs, and PHP error logs, identifies AI crawlers by their User-Agent string, and displays a clean analytics dashboard inside your WordPress admin.
<h4>What you get</h4>
<ul>
<li>AI Bot Dashboard — KPI cards for total requests, AI bot visits, distinct bots detected, and the active date range. Visual trend chart broken down per bot per day. Donut chart of bot share.</li>
<li>Bot Details tab — per-bot breakdown with company grouping (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta…), bot type (crawler / agent / search / researcher), top pages visited, and HTTP status distribution.</li>
<li>Log Viewer tab — raw log lines with syntax highlighting, live refresh via AJAX, and per-event type/severity filtering.</li>
<li>Live Traffic capture — the plugin writes its own <code>live.log</code> (no server log access needed), capturing every frontend, REST API, and AJAX request in Combined Log Format, with automatic 5 MB rotation.</li>
<li>Date range filter — filter all dashboard data by custom date range or quick presets (Last 7 days, Last 30 days, etc.).</li>
<li>WP-Cron sync — automatic parsing on a configurable schedule (Hourly / Every 6 hours / Twice daily / Daily).</li>
<li>Data retention — configurable retention period (default 30 days) with automatic purge.</li>
<li>Proxy-aware IP detection — optional trust of <code>X-Forwarded-For</code> / <code>CF-Connecting-IP</code> headers for sites behind Cloudflare or a reverse proxy.</li>
<li>GEO Metrics — visit <a href="https://trygeometrics.com" rel="nofollow ugc">trygeometrics.com</a> for cross-site AI traffic aggregation and visibility scoring across your entire brand.</li>

<li>WordPress <code>debug.log</code> (WP_DEBUG_LOG)</li>
<li>PHP <code>error_log</code> (auto-detected from <code>php.ini</code>)</li>
