SleekView Charts for Akeeba Backup: archive history dashboards
Akeeba Backup writes each backup run to its own ak_stats table with size, profile, status, and start and end times. SleekView Charts reads that log directly and renders dashboards for agencies and sysadmins reviewing backup history and profile mix across sites.

From ak_stats archive history to chart boards
Akeeba Backup stores each backup run as a row in wp_ak_stats, with the archive size in bytes, the profile ID (full backup, database only, files only, custom), the status (run, complete, fail), and start time and end time columns. Profile definitions and remote storage settings live in the wp_ak_profiles table. The native manage screen is great for grabbing a single restore and limiting for any review of size growth, profile mix, or failure rate over a meaningful date range.
SleekView Charts treats wp_ak_stats as a chart dataset. The start time column becomes a real datetime, size is a numeric column ready for sums, and profile ID and status become categorical columns. A sysadmin dashboard pins last 30 days backup count as a Number, charts runs by profile as a Donut, ranks total size per profile as a horizontal Bar, and plots daily run activity as a gradient Area.
Every aggregation runs against indexes Akeeba already maintains on its stats table, with filters on profile and status. Even a long-running install with thousands of archive rows renders the entire chart board in well under a second from a fresh load.
Workflow
Read Akeeba archive history as data
Source from ak_stats
wp_ak_stats as the dataset base. Each row is one backup run with size, profile, status, and start and end times ready for charts without any custom code or migrations.
Join ak_profiles for context
wp_ak_profiles onto the dataset for profile name and remote storage settings. The profile ID becomes a meaningful label so cards show full backup, database only, files only by name.
Configure four chart cards
Save per-role chart boards
Sample dashboard
Charts you can build from Akeeba archive history
Backup runs in the last 30 days
wp_ak_stats whose start time falls in the last 30 days with a complete status, with the previous 30 days shown underneath the headline for direct comparison context.
Count
Backup runs by profile mix
wp_ak_stats, joined to wp_ak_profiles for readable names like full backup, database only, files only, so the actual run mix is visible at a glance.
Count
group by profile_id
Total stored size per profile
wp_ak_stats per profile, joined to wp_ak_profiles for labels. Surfaces which profile carries the bulk of storage and where retention should tighten.
Sum(size)
group by profile_id
Daily backup run activity
wp_ak_stats. Useful for spotting missed schedule slots, manual run spikes, and unusual gaps in nightly backups.
Count
group by start_time

Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Akeeba Backup for WordPress
ak_stats as a dataset
Akeeba's own wp_ak_stats rows feed the chart dataset. Size becomes a numeric column, profile and status become categorical, and start time becomes a datetime ready for time series.
Profiles joined for context
The ak_profiles table joins onto the dataset so profile IDs render as readable names. Full backup, database only, and files only show up as labels on every Bar, Donut, and Area card.
Per-role saved boards
Sysadmins, agency operators, and site owners each save the board they care about. WordPress capability gating decides who lands on which dashboard, so each role opens the right view by default.
Audience
Who builds Akeeba Backup chart dashboards with SleekView
Sysadmins and DevOps
Stored size per profile and growth trend across full and database only runs visible at a glance, so retention tuning and storage cleanup are driven by chart data rather than by directory inspection.
WordPress agencies
One board per client showing 30 day run count, profile mix, and any recent failures. Weekly client reports run from saved chart boards instead of manage screen screenshots and copy-pasted numbers.
Site owners and operators
The headline 30 day run count and success ratio in one place, so it is obvious that nightly Akeeba backups actually completed without scrolling the manage screen every Monday morning.
The bigger picture
Why Akeeba Backup deserves a real chart view
Akeeba Backup runs scheduled WordPress backups with a strong profile system and a careful archive engine, which makes per-run triage on the manage screen straightforward. Where the plugin's own admin runs out of room is in the analytical questions: which profile consumes most of the storage, how often does the nightly database run actually fail, how does this month compare to last after a heavy release week. Each of those is one chart against rows that already exist inside wp_ak_stats.
SleekView Charts gives that table a configurable rendering layer, with cards that map directly to operational questions. The Akeeba engine keeps doing what it does best, the chart board gives the team the historical view the manage screen has never delivered.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Akeeba Backup for WordPress
No. Akeeba Backup keeps owning scheduling, archive builds, and restore flows from the manage screen. SleekView Charts sits alongside as a configurable layer that reads the same ak_stats table, so sysadmins and agencies get chart dashboards the plugin doesn't ship today.
Yes. A gradient Area chart grouped by start time with a Sum on the size column shows daily storage volume. Add a profile filter to split the trend per profile, or use a stacked Bar grouped by profile over weekly buckets for clearer side-by-side comparisons.
The status column on wp_ak_stats becomes a categorical column. A Donut grouped by status surfaces the failure ratio at a glance, and dashboard-level filters can scope every card to complete only when you want a clean storage growth view without failed rows.
Yes. The profile ID distinguishes each Akeeba profile, joined to ak_profiles for the human name. Set a dashboard-level profile filter and every card on the saved board switches to that subset, just by toggling the filter on or off.
Yes. A date range, profile, or status filter set at the dashboard level applies to every card. A monthly storage review and a quarterly run-rate audit can share the same saved configuration without setting filters card by card.
Cards query wp_ak_stats live on render. A run that just finished appears in every card on the next reload, with no separate sync job, scheduled refresh, or cache flush to wait on between runs. The numbers always match the Akeeba manage screen.
Yes. Aggregations run server-side using the indexes Akeeba already maintains on the ak_stats table for start time, profile, and status. Even a long-running install with thousands of archive rows renders the full chart board in well under a second.
Yes. Each saved board is gated by a WordPress capability so sysadmins, agency operators, and site owners each open the dashboard that matches their job. The storage growth board and the per-client summary board stay separate by default.
