0 Day Analytics

Description

0 Day Analytics helps detect, inspect and respond to PHP and WordPress-level
errors before they become production incidents. It is optimized for very
large logs and common debugging/operational workflows.

Core capabilities:
– Efficiently reads very large (GB-sized) error logs without full-file reads.
– Error Log Manager with search, filtering, and code-context viewing.
– Cron Manager: list, edit, run, delete scheduled tasks; advanced filters.
– Transients Manager: safely list, edit, delete DB transients.
– Requests Viewer: inspect outgoing HTTP requests.
– Mail Logger & Composer: record email history, view attachments, compose/send.
– SMTP configuration and test email support.
– DB Table Manager: inspect/delete records across tables.
– Server Info: admin-bar badges and dashboard widget (CPU, memory, disk).
– Plugin Version Switcher, Code Snippets module, code viewer, CSV export and dark mode.
– Recovery Mode: one-time recovery links with Slack/Telegram/other channels.
– Randomize error-log filename for security.
– PHP Snippets: generate and execute your own snippets when you need them. Shortcodes are supported.

Short Description

Real-time error insight and recovery for WordPress — lightweight, fast
troubleshooting toolkit with log management, cron/transient/request viewers,
mail logging/composition, SMTP, and a recovery mode.

Requirements & Compatibility

• WordPress 6.0+ (tested up to 6.9)
• PHP 7.4+ (compatible with PHP 8+)
• Not intended as a multisite recovery tool (see notes below)

Best practices & Security Notes

• Keep log files outside the webroot when possible, or restrict access via
  server rules (.htaccess / nginx) to avoid public exposure.
• Use a randomized or non-obvious filename for error logs if stored in webroot.
• Limit plugin capabilities to trusted administrators (capability checks).
• Sanitize and escape all output; use nonces for state-changing actions.
• Secure SMTP credentials and prefer TLS/STARTTLS.
• Set file permissions tightly (e.g., 600/640) and restrict ownership to the
  web server user.
• Backup database/files before bulk delete or run operations.
• Disable or restrict high-frequency background polling in high-load sites.

Usage notes & performance

• Default error history stores the last 999 errors (adjustable via Screen
  Options) to preserve performance on high-volume logs.
• No pagination on error logs by design to avoid repeated full-file reads.
• Optional DB-based PHP error logger exists for environments without disk
  logging; consider DB size and retention.

Support & Notes

• Recommended: secure log paths and consider randomizing filenames.
• Disable unused modules to reduce footprint and attack surface.
• Recovery mode is limited on multisite installs due to WP core behavior.
• For bugs, feature requests or support, open an issue on the plugin page.
