Vigilant Healthchecks provides a REST healthcheck endpoint at \/wp-json\/vigilant\/v1\/health<\/code> with an admin interface to conrol which checks are executed.\nThis plugin is designed to integrate with Vigilant<\/a>, an all-in-one web monitoring tool which can be self-hosted.<\/p>\n\n

Key Features<\/h4>\n\n
    \n
  • Protected REST endpoint with configurable token.<\/li>\n
  • Built-in checks for database connectivity, core versions, plugin updates, cron freshness, Redis, and WordPress Site Health issues.<\/li>\n
  • Metrics catalogue for memory, disk, CPU load, and database size with sensible caching defaults.<\/li>\n
  • Extensible registry and hooks (vigilant_healthchecks_prepare<\/code>, vigilant_healthchecks_cron_threshold<\/code>, vigilant_healthchecks_database_size_cache_ttl<\/code>) so you can add custom checks and metrics.<\/li>\n
  • Scheduler heartbeat (vigilant_healthchecks_cron_monitor<\/code>) that validates WP-Cron is actually running and reports stale schedules.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    How It Works<\/h4>\n\n
      \n
    1. Configure the bearer token under Settings \u2192 Vigilant Healthchecks<\/strong>; every REST request must include Authorization: Bearer <token><\/code>.<\/li>\n
    2. Toggle the checks and metrics you want to expose; disabled items are never instantiated so they have zero runtime impact.<\/li>\n
    3. Call the endpoint yourself or configure your website in Vigilant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Upload the wordpress-healthchecks<\/code> directory to \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> or install via Composer (composer require govigilant\/wordpress-healthchecks<\/code>).<\/li>\n
      2. Activate Vigilant Healthchecks<\/strong> through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
      3. Visit Settings \u2192 Vigilant Healthchecks<\/strong> to paste your Vigilant (or custom) token and select the desired checks\/metrics.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
