Standard HTTP connection metadata. The receiving server sees the sending server IP address and the WordPress HTTP user agent, which normally includes the WordPress version and site URL.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\nNo backup files, database contents, original log lines, visitor data or WordPress login credentials are included in the report body. The ping token itself is a credential: do not publish it or include it in screenshots.<\/p>\n\n

Local storage and stopping reports<\/h4>\n\n
Ping URLs are stored in WordPress options without separate encryption and can be present in database backups. Only administrators with manage_options can change settings. Stored URLs are not returned in the form or exposed by this plugin through the REST API. Empty fields keep existing values; use the removal checkbox and save to clear a URL.<\/p>\n\n
Existing runs keep their initial URLs until completion or cleanup. Removing a setting stops new runs for that target, but not pending reports. Rotate the job ping URL in ServerMetry to revoke an old token immediately, or deactivate the plugin to stop its callbacks.<\/p>\n\n
Run options are removed after delivery finishes or retry attempts are exhausted. A duplicate-suppression marker without the URL lasts one week. Stale run options are scheduled for cleanup after one week. WP-Cron requires site traffic or an external cron trigger; cleanup and retries can be delayed.<\/p>\n\n
Deactivation and deletion retain settings, last-delivery information and any pending run options\/cron entries in WordPress. Cleanup cannot run while the plugin is absent. Reinstalling can resume pending reports. Clear saved URLs, allow outstanding runs to finish and revoke tokens before permanent removal. Removing this plugin does not delete history in ServerMetry.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Install the ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin and activate ServerMetry Backup Monitoring.<\/li>\n
- Install and activate UpdraftPlus if it is not installed already.<\/li>\n
- In ServerMetry, create a backup plan and jobs for the schedules you want to monitor.<\/li>\n
- Open Settings > ServerMetry, or select Settings in the plugin list.<\/li>\n
- Enter the complete job ping URL without \/start or another status suffix. Use a shared URL or separate file\/database URLs, then save.<\/li>\n
- Run a real UpdraftPlus backup. Check its start, final result and duration in the ServerMetry job history.<\/li>\n
- Configure schedule, timezone, grace period, runtime limit and notification rules in ServerMetry. Match them to the real UpdraftPlus schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDo I need a general ServerMetry API key?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. The secret job ping URL authenticates these reports. Account access is required to set up the plan and jobs in ServerMetry.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Are files and database measured separately?<\/h3><\/dt>\nSeparate backup runs can report to separate jobs. A combined backup with two different targets sends the same overall start and result to both. This does not measure the internal file and database phases separately.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Why is a runtime missing or longer than expected?<\/h3><\/dt>\nRuntime uses ServerMetry receipt times. A lost start is not replayed after completion and can leave the result without a duration. Network delays and final-result retries can increase the measured duration.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens if a backup process stops unexpectedly?<\/h3><\/dt>\nA terminated PHP process cannot reliably send a final result. Configure overdue and runtime rules in ServerMetry. Temporary UpdraftPlus errors with a planned resumption do not count as final failures.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How do retries work?<\/h3><\/dt>\nFinal results have at most four attempts: the first request and three WP-Cron retries after 1, 2 and 3 minutes respectively. Network errors, HTTP 408\/429\/5xx and unexpected responses can be retried. Other permanent 4xx errors are not retried. Each request has a three-second timeout.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the plugin change my schedule?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo. At the next new backup start it reports configured intervals and next timestamps. In ServerMetry you can review, apply and save a schedule suggestion. Different file\/database schedules should use separate jobs. Fixed WP-Cron intervals can be delayed by site traffic and can shift in local time at daylight-saving changes. Premium and incremental schedules need separate verification.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it support Coolify or restores?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot through this plugin. Configure Coolify's separate webhook integration in ServerMetry. Do not put a Coolify webhook URL in these fields. Restore, migration, backup size and backup integrity checks are outside this plugin's scope.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Which languages are available?<\/h3><\/dt>\nSettings currently use German source strings and the servermetry text domain. They are ready for community translation through WordPress.org. This package does not claim that English or other language packs are available.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What has been tested?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe isolated hook contract is checked against UpdraftPlus 1.26.13. It covers success, warning, cancellation, final failure and recovery after a temporary failure. These tests do not replace a complete WordPress installation and real backup test. Future UpdraftPlus terminal log-message changes require a new contract check. Multisite\/network activation and custom Premium schedules are not certified by these tests.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
