## Description

PromPress tracks various website and WordPress related metrics for collection by
[Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/), which allows you to monitor your site’s performance
and health. You can even setup dashboards with [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) and/
or setup alerting via [Prometheus Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/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](https://github.com/prometheus/mysqld_exporter).

## FAQ

### Does this require external service(s)?

Yes. This plugin requires you to have [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/) setup
and collecting the metrics from your site. You can also use [Alertmanager](https://prometheus.io/docs/alerting/latest/alertmanager/)
and [Grafana](https://grafana.com/) to get more out of it.

### How do I configure Prometheus to scrape metrics from my site?

You can use this snippet in your Prometheus config (just update the domain under
targets):

    ```
    `yml
    ```

– job_name: ‘wordpress’
 scrape_interval: 15s metrics_path: /wp-json/prompress/v1/
metrics static_configs: – targets: – ‘example.com’ `
