Beschreibung
Capture and log events on your site. View them in your dashboard and send them to logging services.
DecaLog is a tool that aims to:
- capture events generated by the core of WordPress and themes / plugins;
- enrich these events with many details regarding their triggering;
- record these events in the WordPress database and/or send them to external services for logging, monitoring and alerting;
- view (and filter) events recorded in the WordPress database.
It supports multisite logs delegation (see FAQ) and contains many features to help to protect personal information (user pseudonymization, IP obfuscation, etc.).
It can be used in dev/debug phases or on production sites: it has nearly no resource impact on the server.
At this time, DecaLog can send events:
- by mail (alerting);
- in the browser console (for debugging purpose);
- to its internal logging storage and viewer;
- to external logger, like Syslog or Fluentd;
- to external logging services, like Google Stackdriver, Logentries / insightOps or Loggly;
- to ELK stacks like Sematext, Elasticsearch on-premise or Elastic Cloud;
- to Loki on-premise or Grafana Cloud;
- to external alerting services, like Pushover or Slack;
- to local or network storage (with file rotation);
- to external crash analytics services like Bugsnag, Google Analytics or Raygun;
- to WP-CLI console.
In addition to the events generated by your site (PHP, database, WordPress core), DecaLog logs all events from:
- Apache Status & Info
- APCu Manager
- bbPress
- BuddyPress
- Device Detector
- IP Locator
- iThemes Security
- Jetpack
- MailArchiver
- oEmbed Manager
- OPcache Manager
- Redirection
- Sessions
- Traffic
- UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore
- User Switching
- WooCommerce – and its extensions
- Wordfence Security
- W3 Total Cache
- WP-Optimize
- WP Activity Log
- WP Super Cache
- Yoast SEO
and from the following libraries:
- Action Scheduler;
- Stripe gateways (standard, Amelia and Forminator).
