SleekView Charts for Block Bad Queries (BBQ)
Block Bad Queries logs each blocked request with rule, IP, and timestamp. SleekView Charts turns that log into a dashboard so spikes, top rules, and repeat offenders stay visible.

BBQ log entries become rows, then chart cards
Block Bad Queries Pro writes blocked requests into its own log table with request URI, query string, rule matched, IP address, user agent, and timestamp. The plugin's log viewer is a paginated list, useful for spot-checks but slow when the question is about volume or pattern.
SleekView reads the BBQ log table directly and exposes each row as a chartable record. Rule name, request method, and IP become groupBy columns, while the timestamp drives trend charts at any bucket width.
Charts then count, group, and trend the log: total blocks today, blocks by rule, top offending IPs, and a time series of blocks per hour. The same dataset feeds Table and Kanban views, so an analyst can pivot from a chart spike to the raw log row without leaving WP Admin.

Comparison
Default BBQ reporting vs SleekView Charts
Default BBQ admin (log viewer)
- BBQ ships a paginated log viewer, no aggregation or charting.
- Volume questions require counting rows manually or exporting the log.
- Rule mix is invisible without scrolling and tallying entries.
- Top-offender analysis requires SQL or a third-party reporting tool.
- Time-of-day patterns need a separate spreadsheet pivot.
SleekView Charts
- Reads the BBQ log table directly so every blocked request becomes a chartable row.
- Rule, IP, method, and timestamp surface as groupBy columns automatically.
- Number, Pie, Bar, Area, Line, Radar, and Radial chart types per card.
- Aggregations cover count, sum, average, minimum, and maximum.
- Same dataset powers the Table and Kanban views in one workspace.

The bigger picture
From paginated log to dashboard without changing tools
Block Bad Queries does the blocking, but the log it produces is only useful when somebody actually reads it. A paginated viewer is fine for incident response, less so for the weekly question of whether the rule set is working. SleekView Charts reads the same log table and renders it as KPIs, distributions, and trends.
The plugin keeps owning the blocks, SleekView just surfaces them in a shape the security team can scan in seconds. Saved views travel with the site, and chart cards export as CSV for monthly reports. Rule tuning gets faster when the noisy patterns are visible in a Pie card instead of buried in pagination.
