ServerPulse | Server Health, PHP, Cron & Logs for WordPress

ServerPulse | Server Health, PHP, Cron, Logs & a Storage Doctor inside wp-admin

ServerPulse shows a self-hosted WordPress what its server is doing — live CPU, memory, disk, load and network with a newest-first history, the processes eating the CPU, PHP and OPcache facts with safe suggestions, every cron event, the logs that matter, and a storage doctor that reclaims caches, logs, orphans, revisions and transients with one click. Database and cache controls, threshold alerts, a weekly report and WP-CLI — all read as the web user, nothing executed.

Key Features

• Live CPU, memory (incl. swap), every real disk, load per core, network in/out and uptime, refreshed every 10 seconds; a 5-minute sample history from 1 hour to 30 days drawn newest-first
• Top processes by sampled CPU (not lifetime averages), grouped by command, with a per-process dossier: user, command line, executable, working directory, threads, memory, start time, children, I/O, container; stop or kill the web user's own runaway workers
• PHP version with its security-support date, SAPI, every limit that matters, OPcache memory / scripts / hit rate / restarts, PHP-FPM pool status, loaded and missing extensions, concrete suggestions (memory_limit × workers vs RAM, upload vs post size, OPcache sizing, FPM queueing)
• WP-Cron viewer: every scheduled event with next run, schedule, owning plugin, overdue and orphan flags; run one now (timed), unschedule, trigger everything due; last-run detection and a copy-ready crontab line for real cron
• Log tails: WordPress debug.log, PHP error_log, nginx / Apache / PHP-FPM / MySQL logs the web user can read, plus your own paths; levels, filters, auto-refresh, access-log parsing with masked IPs; runaway-log alerts; empty a writable log
• Storage doctor: caches, logs in wp-content, revisions (keep N), expired transients, auto-drafts and trash, spam comments, orphaned meta, uploads missing from the media library (moved to a trash folder first), big files, backup folder sizes — one-click reclaim per category
• Database: tables with engine, rows, size and overhead (OPTIMIZE), autoload bloat with per-option autoload-off, slow queries from performance_schema or SAVEQUERIES
• Caches: WordPress object cache status, Redis and Memcached stats over their own protocols, OPcache and APCu; flush any of them; purge the page cache of the common plugins
• Alerts: thresholds for disk, memory, load, log size and a silent cron; email and PushPress with a cooldown; a Monday health report; Site Health check
• Reads /proc, PHP and the database as the web user — nothing is executed, no root, no shell; network-admin menu on multisite; wp serverpulse status|top|php|cron|logs|storage|db|cache|report|sample

What the Storage Doctor Touches

1. Caches, expired transients, old revisions beyond the number you keep, spam and orphan meta are deleted
2. Uploads that are not in the media library are moved to a trash folder you purge yourself
3. Backup folders are measured and reported, never touched
4. Every category shows its size first; reclaim is one click per category
