This plugin is the \"level 3\" connector: it looks at the site\nfrom the inside and reports the following to your dashboard:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Inventory: WordPress core, PHP and database versions, active theme, plugins and their versions.<\/li>\n<li>Updates: available core and plugin updates.<\/li>\n<li>Security: predictable admin login name, debug mode left on, core file integrity (checksums).<\/li>\n<li>Performance: object cache presence, size of autoloaded options.<\/li>\n<li>Availability: REST loopback, recent PHP fatal errors (a count only, never the log itself).<\/li>\n<li>Configuration: WP-Cron mode and task lag; mail\/SMTP.<\/li>\n<li>Commerce: WooCommerce orders (failed-order spikes, order \"droughts\"), payment gateways, checkout reachability, a daily smoke run.<\/li>\n<li>Files: write permissions on wp-config.php.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>What the plugin does NOT do: it opens no inbound ports, executes no remote\ncommands, and never transmits passwords, database contents, or visitor\npersonal data. All communication is outbound HTTPS to your own dashboard.<\/p>\n\n<h3>External services<\/h3>\n\n<p>This plugin is the connector for Pingvera, an external website-monitoring\nservice (https:\/\/pingvera.com). The plugin exists to send your site's technical\nhealth to your Pingvera dashboard, so using it requires that service. It talks to\nthe dashboard you configure \u2014 a hosted dashboard such as pingvera.com, or your\nown self-hosted\/on-prem instance \u2014 over outbound HTTPS only.<\/p>\n\n<p>What is sent and when:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Pairing (once, when you click \"Connect\"): the one-time pairing code and your\nsite URL are sent to obtain a scoped access token. Endpoint: \/cms\/v1\/pair.<\/li>\n<li>Sync (once an hour via WP-Cron, and on \"Sync now\"): technical health and\ninventory \u2014 WordPress, PHP and database versions; the active theme and the list\nof plugins with their versions; available updates; security, performance and\nconfiguration findings; WooCommerce order statistics and payment gateway \/\ncheckout status; and a count of recent PHP fatal errors. Endpoint: \/cms\/v1\/sync.\nPasswords, database contents, post content and visitor personal data are never\nsent.<\/li>\n<li>Real User Monitoring (only if enabled for your site in the dashboard): a small\nasynchronous script is loaded on the front end to collect anonymous Core Web\nVitals (loading and interaction timings) of your own pages. Endpoint: \/rum\/v1\/.\nNo personal data is collected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Service provided by Pingvera:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Terms of Service: https:\/\/pingvera.com\/terms.html<\/li>\n<li>Privacy Policy: https:\/\/pingvera.com\/privacy.html<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>In the Pingvera dashboard, open your site and create a CMS installation (WordPress).<\/li>\n<li>Copy the one-time pairing code.<\/li>\n<li>In WordPress admin: Pingvera -&gt; paste your dashboard URL and the code -&gt; \"Connect\".<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p>After that the plugin syncs once an hour via WP-Cron. \"Sync now\" sends data\nimmediately. \"Disconnect\" forgets the token and dashboard URL.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"does%20the%20plugin%20send%20any%20personal%20data%3F\"><h3>Does the plugin send any personal data?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. It sends technical health and inventory only.
