YoPingMe watches your sites from outside and tells you when they stop\nanswering. This plugin brings that view into wp-admin: a dashboard widget\nlisting each of your monitors, whether it is up right now, and its uptime\nover the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days.<\/p>\n\n
This plugin is a viewer, not a monitor.<\/strong> It cannot detect your own site\ngoing down, because a site that is down does not run PHP. The checking is\ndone by YoPingMe's probes from outside your server; the plugin only shows\nyou what they found. If you want to be told when your site goes down, set\nup alerts in your YoPingMe account.<\/p>\n\n YoPingMe runs HTTP, keyword, SSL, ping and TCP checks against your\nendpoints from probes on three continents, and alerts you by email,\nwebhook or Slack. The free plan covers 10 monitors at 5-minute intervals.<\/p>\n\n When YoPingMe recorded an outage for this site while you were away, the\nplugin says so at the top of wp-admin the next time you log in: how long\nit lasted, when it started, and what the check saw. It looks back at most\nseven days, each administrator gets their own \"since your last visit\", and\nthe notice stays put while you work rather than vanishing on the first\nclick. Dismiss it and it is gone until the next outage. There is a switch\nto turn it off entirely on the settings page.<\/p>\n\n This still does not make the plugin a monitor. It is telling you what\nYoPingMe's probes saw from outside, after the fact.<\/p>\n\n The plugin reads your monitors at most once an hour and caches the answer.\nThe free plan includes a daily budget of API queries, and an hourly read\nkeeps a busy dashboard well inside it. The widget shows the time of the\nlast read rather than pretending the numbers are live, and a Refresh link\nlets you pull fresh data when you want it.<\/p>\n\n This plugin connects to the YoPingMe API to fetch your monitors' status.<\/p>\n\n Terms of service: https:\/\/yoping.me\/terms\/\nPrivacy policy: https:\/\/yoping.me\/privacy\/<\/p>\n\n Saving an API key you generated in your own YoPingMe account is what\nauthorises the plugin to contact that account. Removing the key on the\nsettings page stops every request immediately and deletes the cached data.<\/p>\n\n The optional footer badge, when you switch it on, loads one image:<\/p>\n\n We count these requests to see which sites the badge is running on.\nTurning the badge off on the settings page stops them immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n Yes. The plugin displays data from your account and does no monitoring of\nits own. A free account works.<\/p><\/dd>\n On your YoPingMe account page. Create a key with the MCP scope; that scope\nis read-only and cannot change anything in your account.<\/p><\/dd>\n Because it is showing cached data, on purpose. Reading once an hour keeps\nthe plugin inside the free plan's daily query budget no matter how often\nyou load the dashboard. Use the Refresh link if you want the current\nnumbers.<\/p><\/dd>\n Not by itself, and no plugin can: when your site is down, WordPress is not\nrunning. Set up email, webhook, or Slack alerts in your YoPingMe account\nfor that. The plugin is how you see the history afterwards.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhat you get<\/h4>\n\n
