<p>PromPress tracks various website and WordPress related metrics for collection by <a href="https://prometheus.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prometheus</a>, which allows you to monitor your site’s performance and health. You can even setup dashboards with <a href="https://grafana.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Grafana</a> and/or setup alerting via <a href="https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/" rel="nofollow ugc">Prometheus Alertmanager</a>.</p>
<p>(Note: Requires Object Caching via Redis to be active, so that the plugin can store metrics.)</p>
<p>We track a range of Website and WordPress specific metrics:</p>
<ul>
<li>Request Count</li>
<li>Request Duration</li>
<li>Request Peak Memory Usage</li>
<li>External Request Duration</li>
<li>Query Count</li>
<li>Query Duration</li>
<li>Plugin Updates</li>
<li>Theme Updates</li>
<li>Emails Sent</li>
<li>User Count</li>
<li>Post Count</li>
<li>Option Count</li>
</ul>
<p>This gives you the ability to monitor the performance of your website over time and get an early warning of potential problems, like your site sending a lot of emails or the post count increasing a lot.</p>
<p>We purposefully avoid general software and/or server level metrics which are better handled outside of the website, like detailed database metrics which is better handled via the <a href="https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter" rel="nofollow ugc">mysqld exporter</a>.</p>

<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>
