PromPress tracks various website and WordPress related metrics for collection by Prometheus, which allows you to monitor your site’s performance and health. You can even setup dashboards with Grafana and/or setup alerting via Prometheus Alertmanager.
(Note: Requires Object Caching via Redis to be active, so that the plugin can store metrics.)
We track a range of Website and WordPress specific metrics:
- Request Count
- Request Duration
- Request Peak Memory Usage
- External Request Duration
- Query Count
- Query Duration
- Plugin Updates
- Theme Updates
- Emails Sent
- User Count
- Post Count
- Option Count
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.
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 mysqld exporter.
