FizteQ Pulse – Monitoring and error tracking

Description

WPPulse is an error tracking and site health monitoring service built specifically for WordPress agencies and freelancers managing multiple client sites.

Install this plugin on each site you manage. It reports errors, plugin changes, security events, and more to your WPPulse dashboard — giving you a single overview of every site’s health.

What it monitors

  • PHP errors & exceptions — Fatal errors, uncaught exceptions, and user errors with full stack traces
  • Plugin changes — Activations, deactivations, installs, updates, and pending updates
  • WordPress core updates — Get alerted when a new WordPress version is available
  • Security events — Admin user creation, deletion, and role changes
  • Database errors — Query failures with sanitised error details
  • REST API errors — 4xx and 5xx responses on WordPress REST endpoints
  • Cron job failures — Detect overdue or silently failing scheduled tasks
  • Server resources — Disk space and memory usage warnings

Why WPPulse?

  • Multi-site dashboard — See all your client sites at a glance with status indicators
  • Smart alerts — Digest-based notifications so you don’t get spammed
  • 4 notification channels — Email, Telegram, Discord, and Slack
  • WordPress-native — Purpose-built for WordPress, not a generic error tracker
  • Privacy first — Sensitive data (passwords, tokens, PII) is automatically filtered before anything leaves your site
  • EU-hosted & GDPR-compliant — Servers in Bucharest, Romania. No data leaves the EU.
  • Lightweight — No frontend JavaScript, no database tables, no impact on your visitors

How it works

  1. Sign up at wp-pulse.app and add your site
  2. Install this plugin and enter the API key from your dashboard
  3. That’s it — errors and events start flowing to your dashboard immediately

The plugin runs silently in the background. If the connection to WPPulse is temporarily unavailable, events are queued locally and sent automatically when the connection is restored.

Built for agencies

If you manage 10, 50, or 100 client sites, WPPulse gives you one place to see which sites have errors, which have pending updates, and which need attention — before your clients call you.

External Service

This plugin requires a WPPulse account and sends data to the WPPulse API hosted at wp-pulse.app. No data is transmitted until you configure the plugin with your API key. The plugin does not contact any external server until you explicitly connect it.

Data transmitted to WPPulse:

  • PHP error details: error class, message, file path (relative, server root stripped), line number, stack trace
  • Plugin events: activation, deactivation, install, update, pending updates
  • Security events: admin user creation, deletion, role changes (user ID and role only — no names or emails)
  • Database errors: sanitised error message and query (all literal values replaced with placeholders)
  • REST API errors: route, method, status code
  • Cron failures: hook name and schedule
  • Resource warnings: disk space and memory usage percentages
  • Environment: PHP version, WordPress version, active theme name, multisite status, OS name, plugin version
  • Request context (on errors only): HTTP method, URL path (no query string), filtered headers, filtered POST/GET fields, user agent, IP address

Sensitive data filtering: Passwords, tokens, API keys, emails, names, addresses, credit card fields, and 34+ other sensitive field types are automatically replaced with [Filtered] before transmission. You can add custom fields on the settings page.

WPPulse is operated by FizteQ Solutions SRL (Romania, EU). All data is processed and stored on servers located in Bucharest, Romania.

From the WordPress Plugin Directory

  1. Go to Plugins > Add New in your WordPress admin
  2. Search for FizteQ Pulse
  3. Click Install Now, then Activate
  4. Go to FizteQ Pulse in the admin sidebar
  5. Enter your Dashboard URL and API key (get these from wp-pulse.app)

Manual Installation

  1. Download the plugin ZIP file
  2. Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin
  3. Upload the ZIP file and click Install Now
  4. Activate the plugin and configure it under the FizteQ Pulse menu

Configuration

After activation, the plugin needs two things:

  • Dashboard URL — Pre-filled with https://wp-pulse.app. No change needed unless directed otherwise.
  • API Key — Your site-specific key from the FizteQ Pulse dashboard

Once connected, monitors are controlled from the WPPulse dashboard. Use the Sync Config button on the settings page to pull the latest configuration.

System Cron (optional)

By default, the plugin uses WP-Cron for scheduling. If your site has low traffic or you prefer more reliable timing, switch to System Cron mode in the settings and add the provided crontab command to your server.

FAQ

Do I need a WPPulse account?

Yes. The plugin sends monitoring data to your WPPulse dashboard at wp-pulse.app. You can sign up for a free account to get started.

What data does the plugin send?

The plugin sends error details (message, file, stack trace), plugin change events, and environment information (PHP version, WordPress version, active theme). Sensitive fields like passwords, tokens, emails, and credit card numbers are automatically filtered and never transmitted.

Does it slow down my site?

No. The plugin hooks into WordPress events and only runs when something happens (an error, a plugin change, etc.). It adds no frontend JavaScript, no database tables, and no queries to page loads. API calls use a 10-second timeout so they never block your site.

What happens if the connection to WPPulse is down?

Events are automatically queued locally (up to 50 events) and retried with exponential backoff. Once the connection is restored, all queued events are sent in a single batch. No data is lost.

Can I control which monitors are active?

Yes. Monitors are toggled from the WPPulse dashboard. After making changes there, click Sync Config in the plugin settings to pull the latest configuration.

Can I add custom fields to the privacy filter?

Yes. Go to the WPPulse settings page and add field names under Additional Filtered Fields (one per line). These are merged with the 34 built-in filtered fields. You can also use the wppulse_sensitive_body_keys and wppulse_sensitive_header_keys filters in code.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

WPPulse is built by an EU company (FizteQ Solutions SRL, Romania) and hosted entirely within the EU. Sensitive data is filtered before transmission, and the plugin does not use cookies or track visitors. See our privacy policy and DPA for full details.

Does it work with WP-CLI?

The plugin detects WP-CLI and command-line contexts. Error monitoring works in CLI mode, but request-specific data (URL, headers, POST body) is not captured since there is no HTTP request.

Does it work on multisite?

Yes. The plugin reports the multisite status as part of the environment data. Install and configure it on each site in the network where you want monitoring.
