WordPress Log Analyst

01

The challenge

Raw access logs are rich but hostile. The signal is buried in thousands of repetitive requests, and the people who need the answer often do not work in command-line tools every day.

02

The approach

1. Fetch current and previous access logs from the hosting environment.
2. Summarize top URLs, IPs, user agents, status patterns, and daily volume.
3. Call out admin-ajax traffic and suspicious concentration instead of dumping rows.
4. Keep the first version deterministic before adding an AI explanation layer.

03

Where it stands

The MVP scope and primary analyses are defined. The next implementation decision is how the plugin should retrieve logs safely and present large files without making wp-admin feel heavy.

04

Next useful moves

• Build the first analysis screen around a small sample log.
• Define guardrails for file size, retention, and sensitive data.
• Explore an MCP interface after the admin workflow is useful on its own.
