What The Logify PRO Analytics Dashboard Shows You
Reading log entries one by one hides the patterns that matter — a spike in critical events, an unusual active hour, traffic from an unexpected country. The Logify PRO analytics dashboard turns your activity log into visual charts so you can spot those trends at a glance: a severity donut, a weekday-by-hour heatmap, top countries, events by object type, a 30-day security trend, and a peak-activity chart. Use it as the first stop whenever something feels off.
PRO feature
The basic dashboard — stat cards, the 30-day activity chart, top event types, and most active users — is free. The advanced charts on this page (severity donut, activity heatmap, top countries, events by object type, security trend, and peak activity times) are added by Logify PRO.

What is the Logify PRO analytics dashboard?
The Logify PRO analytics dashboard is a set of advanced charts Logify adds to the standard Dashboard screen, giving you a visual summary of activity patterns instead of a raw list. The free dashboard already shows stat cards, a 30-day activity chart, top event types, and most active users. Logify PRO layers these charts on top:
| Chart | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| Severity donut | How activity splits across severity levels |
| Activity heatmap | When activity happens, by weekday and hour |
| Top countries | Which countries the activity comes from |
| Events by object type | Which kinds of items change most |
| Security trend | Whether security events are rising over 30 days |
| Peak activity times | Your busiest hours, as a chart (added in 1.6.5) |
Open the dashboard
Go to Logify → Dashboard. The free stat cards and 30-day chart load at the top; the PRO analytics charts appear below them when Logify PRO is active.
Read the severity donut
The severity donut shows how the logged activity divides across severity levels — Info, Notice, Warning, and up to Emergency. A donut dominated by low-severity slices means routine activity; a growing share of Critical or High slices tells you the balance is shifting toward events that need attention.
Check the activity heatmap
The heatmap plots activity by weekday and hour, so darker cells mark your busiest times. Use it to learn your site's normal rhythm — then treat activity in a cell that is usually empty, such as the middle of the night, as a spike worth investigating.
Review top countries
The top countries chart ranks the countries that appear most in your logs, based on the IP-to-country lookup Logify performs for each event. Traffic from countries where you have no users or admins is a quick lead to follow. For how this lookup works, see how Logify determines IP address and country.
Compare events by object type
This chart breaks activity down by the type of item that changed — users, posts, plugins, settings, and so on — so you can see where change is concentrated. A surge in plugin or settings changes, for instance, points you toward configuration activity rather than routine content edits.
Watch the security trend
The security trend charts security-related events over the last 30 days, so you can tell whether they are holding steady or climbing. A rising line is an early warning to review failed logins and other security events before a pattern becomes an incident.
Read peak activity times
Added in Logify 1.6.5, the peak activity times chart summarizes your busiest hours so you can see your load pattern at a glance. It complements the heatmap by ranking when activity concentrates, which helps with both capacity planning and spotting off-hours anomalies.
Conclusion
The Logify PRO analytics dashboard answers "is anything unusual?" faster than any log list, using the severity donut, heatmap, top countries, object-type breakdown, security trend, and peak-activity chart together. When a chart flags something, open the activity log and filter it to the matching time range to inspect the specific events, or check your scheduled PRO Email Digest insights for a recurring summary.
FAQs
Is the Logify dashboard free or PRO?
The basic dashboard is free — it shows stat cards, a 30-day activity chart, top event types, and most active users at Logify → Dashboard. Logify PRO adds the advanced analytics charts described here: the severity donut, weekday-by-hour heatmap, top countries, events by object type, the 30-day security trend, and the peak activity times chart. Both sets appear on the same screen when PRO is active.
What does the activity heatmap measure?
The heatmap plots the number of logged events across two axes — day of the week and hour of the day — shading each cell by how much activity it holds. It shows your site's normal activity rhythm so unusual timing stands out. Activity in a cell that is usually empty, such as overnight hours, is a signal to check the log for that window.
Where does the top countries data come from?
Logify resolves the IP address on each logged event to a country and counts those countries for the chart. The lookup runs in the background using an IP geolocation service, with a local database fallback. See how Logify determines IP address and country for the sources and how anonymization affects it. Events from IPs that cannot be resolved are grouped as unknown.
How is the analytics dashboard different from the activity log?
The dashboard aggregates your log into charts to reveal patterns — how activity splits by severity, when it peaks, where it comes from — without listing individual events. The activity log is the detailed, filterable record of every event. Use the dashboard to notice that something changed, then the log to see exactly what happened.
When was the peak activity times chart added?
The peak activity times widget chart was added in Logify 1.6.5, alongside the WordPress dashboard widget and top-actions statistic. It is a Logify PRO chart, so it appears on the dashboard only when PRO is active. See the changelog for the full list of what shipped in each release.
