Performance Overhead

    Dear Support,

    Firstly, excellent plugin, well done on a great job.

    I would like to ask about the performance overhead that this plugin generates and whether there are any available metrics that show the impact that it generates on database write events?

    Does the plugin in fact log events to the database in real-time or does it keep a local file based log on the web server? My setup has 2 WP front end servers talking to a seperate DB instance in the backend and I would like to ensure that we’re not generating large levels of write traffic to the database by real-time logging of events.

    Could you please help clarify how exactly the plugin logs and stores events?

    Many thanks in advance.

    The plugin listens to WordPress events, for example post edits, logins, or plugin updates, and directly when these events are fired by WordPress the plugin writes to the database. So one plugin is updated = the plugin writes two rows to the database to store this info. Same with user logins or post edits and so on. These writes are quick and I’ve never seen any slow down because of it. For most sites users really don’t do that much activity… The only time I can think of it is if your website is brute force attacked and a large amount of login attempts is made at the same time. But then I guess you should have a plugin like Jetpack that prevents this from happening.
