Why Server Monitor Dashboard is Different

Most WordPress monitoring plugins focus only on uptime or basic performance checks. Server Monitor Dashboard goes further by giving you a complete, real‑time view of your server’s health directly inside WordPress.

• 🔍 Deeper Insights — Track CPU, RAM, Disk, and Network usage with intuitive charts and gauges.
• ⚡ Lightweight & Fast — Built to run smoothly without bloating your WordPress installation.
• 🎯 Application‑Focused Metrics — See PHP, MySQL, and WordPress resource usage alongside server stats.
• 🖥️ Visual Dashboard — Radar charts, line graphs, and pie charts make complex data easy to understand.
• 🔔 Custom Alerts — Get notified when thresholds are crossed, so you can act before issues escalate.

• 🌐 Self‑Contained — No external services or subscriptions required — your data stays in your WordPress site. This combination of real‑time server metrics + WordPress integration makes Server Monitor Dashboard unique compared to plugins that only check uptime or rely on third‑party services.

📊 Chart Guide

• CPU Usage → Detect spikes and bottlenecks
• RAM Usage → Spot leaks or heavy processes
• Disk Usage → Monitor capacity and I/O activity
• Network Throughput → Identify unusual traffic or saturation
• Process Count → Detect runaway tasks
• MySQL Buffer Pool → Optimize caching and DB performance
• Spider Chart → Holistic system overview

🛠 Troubleshooting

• CPU > 90% → Check processes, optimize tasks, consider scaling
• RAM > 85% → Identify leaks, restart services, increase limits
• Disk > 90% → Clear logs/temp files, expand capacity
• High Network I/O → Inspect connections, apply firewall rules
• Process spikes → Audit cron jobs/services
• MySQL Buffer > 80% → Tune buffer size, optimize queries

🛣 Roadmap

v2.1 → Uptime tracking, thread/process details, custom alerts
v2.2 → Log viewer, service monitoring, historical trends
v3.0 → Multi-server metrics, security insights, predictive capacity planning

⚡ Quick Setup

1. Upload plugin via WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload
2. Activate the plugin
3. Access Dashboard → Server Monitor

🛠 Installation

1. Download latest release (Gumroad/CodeCanyon or repo)
2. Upload via WordPress Admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin
3. Activate plugin
4. Verify charts load correctly

• Configure settings via plugin options

🛠 Requirements

• WordPress 5.0+
• PHP 7.4+
• Chart.js (auto-loaded via CDN)

❓ FAQ

• CPU load vs Task Manager? → Plugin shows averaged usage, Task Manager shows per-core peaks.
• RAM mismatch? → Task Manager includes cached/reserved memory; plugin shows active allocation.
• MySQL Buffer Pool? → Displays InnoDB buffer usage vs allocation.
• Unexpected output during activation? → Remove stray spaces/BOM characters.
• Multi-server monitoring? → Planned for v3.0.
• Chart refresh rate? → Default: every 2 seconds.
• Performance impact? → Minimal; adjust polling interval for high-traffic sites.
• Network chart shows traffic with Wi-Fi off? → Reads all interfaces (Ethernet, VPN, Docker, etc.), not just Wi-Fi.
