## Description

Pingvera is a monitoring service for studios and agencies that maintain many
 client
websites. This plugin is the “level 3” connector: it looks at the site from the 
inside and reports the following to your dashboard:

 * Inventory: WordPress core, PHP and database versions, active theme, plugins and
   their versions.
 * Updates: available core and plugin updates.
 * Security: predictable admin login name, debug mode left on, core file integrity(
   checksums).
 * Performance: object cache presence, size of autoloaded options.
 * Availability: REST loopback, recent PHP fatal errors (a count only, never the
   log itself).
 * Configuration: WP-Cron mode and task lag; mail/SMTP.
 * Commerce: WooCommerce orders (failed-order spikes, order “droughts”), payment
   gateways, checkout reachability, a daily smoke run.
 * Files: write permissions on wp-config.php.

What the plugin does NOT do: it opens no inbound ports, executes no remote
 commands,
and never transmits passwords, database contents, or visitor personal data. All 
communication is outbound HTTPS to your own dashboard.

### External services

This plugin is the connector for Pingvera, an external website-monitoring
 service(
https://pingvera.com). The plugin exists to send your site’s technical health to
your Pingvera dashboard, so using it requires that service. It talks to the dashboard
you configure — a hosted dashboard such as pingvera.com, or your own self-hosted/
on-prem instance — over outbound HTTPS only.

What is sent and when:

 * Pairing (once, when you click “Connect”): the one-time pairing code and your
   
   site URL are sent to obtain a scoped access token. Endpoint: /cms/v1/pair.
 * Sync (once an hour via WP-Cron, and on “Sync now”): technical health and
    inventory—
   WordPress, PHP and database versions; the active theme and the list of plugins
   with their versions; available updates; security, performance and configuration
   findings; WooCommerce order statistics and payment gateway / checkout status;
   and a count of recent PHP fatal errors. Endpoint: /cms/v1/sync. Passwords, database
   contents, post content and visitor personal data are never sent.
 * Real User Monitoring (only if enabled for your site in the dashboard): a small
   
   asynchronous script is loaded on the front end to collect anonymous Core Web 
   Vitals (loading and interaction timings) of your own pages. Endpoint: /rum/v1/.
   No personal data is collected.

 * Terms of Service: https://pingvera.com/terms.html
 * Privacy Policy: https://pingvera.com/privacy.html

## Installation

 1. In the Pingvera dashboard, open your site and create a CMS installation (WordPress).
 2. Copy the one-time pairing code.
 3. In WordPress admin: Pingvera -> paste your dashboard URL and the code -> “Connect”.

After that the plugin syncs once an hour via WP-Cron. “Sync now” sends data
 immediately.“
Disconnect” forgets the token and dashboard URL.

## FAQ

### Does the plugin send any personal data?

No. It sends technical health and inventory only. Passwords, database contents,

and visitor personal data are never transmitted.

### Can Pingvera control my site remotely?

No. The connector is strictly one-way: it only sends data out over HTTPS. It
 opens
no inbound ports and executes no commands from the outside.

## Changelog

#### 0.4.4

 * Documented the external Pingvera service in the readme: what data is sent, when,
   
   and links to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy (directory requirement).

#### 0.4.3

 * Distinct Plugin URI and Author URI in the plugin header (directory requirement).

#### 0.4.2

 * Plugin Check: enqueued RUM script now carries an explicit version for cache
    
   busting. No functional changes.

#### 0.4.1

 * Compliance with the official WordPress Plugin Check: output escaping,
    WP_Filesystem
   for file access, enqueued RUM script, and an English readme. No functional changes.

#### 0.4.0

 * WooCommerce order monitoring: failed-order spikes against a 7-day baseline,
    
   order “drought” detection (stays quiet on low-volume stores), payment gateway
   configuration (no active gateway / live gateway left in test mode), and checkout
   page reachability (loopback).
 * Daily smoke run of the order pipeline (a service product and order, created
    
   without emails, stock changes or payment, then removed immediately).

#### 0.2.0

 * Extended diagnostics: REST loopback, WP-Cron lag, wp-config permissions,
    SMTP/
   mail, WooCommerce (checkout page), core integrity via checksums (a sign of compromise),
   and a recent PHP fatal-error count.

#### 0.1.0

 * First release: pairing by code, inventory, baseline findings (updates,
    security,
   performance, configuration), and a management screen.
