View Your WordPress Activity Dashboard in Logify
The Logify dashboard gives you a one-screen summary of everything happening on your WordPress site, so you do not have to read the log entry by entry. It shows how many actions were recorded, which event types are most common, who your most active users are, and how activity has trended over the last 30 days. Open it at Logify → Dashboard.
What is the Logify dashboard?
The Logify dashboard is the overview screen that opens when you select Logify in the admin menu. It summarises your recorded activity into stat cards and charts so you can answer questions like is the site behaving normally?, did activity suddenly spike?, and which events happen most often? — without opening individual log entries.
How to open the dashboard
Go to Logify → Dashboard in your WordPress admin sidebar. Selecting the top-level Logify menu opens the same overview.
What the dashboard shows
The dashboard is built from a few free components:
| Component | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Stat cards | Headline counts such as total recorded activities and login attempts over the period. |
| 30-day activity chart | How activity has risen or fallen across the last 30 days, so spikes and quiet spells stand out. |
| Top event types | Which categories of event — user, post, plugin, option, and so on — make up most of your activity. |
| Most active users | The accounts responsible for the most actions, useful when several people manage the same site. |
| Refresh | Reloads the dashboard with the latest recorded data. |
A sudden jump in login attempts, for example, can signal that someone is trying to access the site without permission — a cue to open Logify → Activity Logs and investigate.
The WordPress Dashboard widget
Logify also adds a statistics widget to your main WordPress Dashboard (the screen at Dashboard → Home), so you see activity trends without opening the plugin. Use the Chart Type dropdown to switch between three views:
- Daily Activity — how many events were recorded on each day, with a summary of total events, average daily activity, and your busiest day.
- Activity by Event Type — which event types make up your activity, such as user, post, plugin, comment, and option.
- Action Type Distribution — which actions occur most often, such as updated, login, created, deleted, and logout, with the most common actions and their share below the chart.
Advanced analytics (PRO)
PRO feature
The dashboard components above are free. Logify PRO adds a richer analytics layer on top of them: a severity donut chart, a weekday-by-hour activity heatmap, Top Countries, events by object type, a 30-day security trend, and a Peak Activity Times chart that shows when activity concentrates during the week. These advanced visualisations require Logify PRO.
To learn what the PRO analytics dashboard reveals, see What You Learn From the Logify Analytics Dashboard.
What to do when the dashboard shows something unusual
- Note which stat card or chart looks off — a login-attempt spike, an unusually busy day, or an unexpected top user.
- Open Logify → Activity Logs.
- Filter by the relevant date range or user.
- Review the matching entries to identify what caused the change.
Conclusion
The Logify dashboard turns thousands of individual log rows into a picture you can read in seconds, and the WordPress Dashboard widget keeps that picture in front of you as you work. When something looks wrong, drill into the activity log to find the cause, and consider Logify PRO's advanced analytics if you want heatmaps, country breakdowns, and peak-time charts.
FAQs
Where do I find the Logify dashboard?
Go to Logify → Dashboard in your WordPress admin sidebar, or simply select the top-level Logify menu — both open the overview screen. It shows stat cards, a 30-day activity chart, your top event types, and your most active users, with a Refresh button to reload the latest data.
Is the Logify dashboard available in the free version?
Yes. The main dashboard — stat cards, the 30-day activity chart, top event types, most active users, and the Refresh button — is free, as is the statistics widget on the main WordPress Dashboard. Advanced visualisations such as the severity donut, activity heatmap, Top Countries, and Peak Activity Times chart require Logify PRO.
What is the difference between the Logify dashboard and the WordPress Dashboard widget?
The Logify dashboard is the full overview screen at Logify → Dashboard, with stat cards, the 30-day chart, and top-user and event-type panels. The WordPress Dashboard widget is a compact chart added to your main Dashboard → Home screen, with a Chart Type dropdown for Daily Activity, Activity by Event Type, and Action Type Distribution — so you see trends without opening the plugin.
Why does my dashboard show a spike in login attempts?
A spike in login attempts usually means either genuine high activity or repeated failed logins from someone trying to gain access. Open Logify → Activity Logs, filter the Event Type to security, and check whether the attempts are failed logins from one IP. Logify groups five failures per IP and user within five minutes into a single brute-force event.
Can I see which users are most active on my site?
Yes. The dashboard's most-active-users panel ranks accounts by how many actions they performed over the period, which is useful when several people manage the same site. To see exactly what a specific user did, open Logify → Activity Logs and filter by that user, then open any entry for the full details.
