BulletProof Security is good at recording. The plugin's .htaccess firewall blocks requests at the server level and writes each block to security_log.txt in wp-content/bps-backup/logs/ with timestamp, IP, host, referrer, request URI, query string, and user agent. DB backup events go to wp_bpspro_db_backup and lockouts to wp_bpspro_login_security. The default BPS UI shows a textarea of recent log lines, useful for inspecting a row but never aggregating.

SleekView Charts puts the aggregates on one screen. A Number card carries today's blocked count, a Pie groups by request URI pattern, a Bar ranks remote IPs, and an Area card tracks blocked volume per day. Indexing the log lines into a SleekView source means the security_log.txt rows become queryable like any other table.

Because charts read from the log file and the bpspro tables directly, the firewall is unchanged. BPS keeps blocking, the .htaccess rules keep firing, and the dashboard simply makes the volume legible to anyone responsible for the site.

BulletProof Security captures the data needed to understand an attack, but its UI is built around a textarea preview of recent log lines. Aggregate questions, the ones that matter when an attack is in progress or being reviewed afterward, need charts. Where did the spike come from, when did it stop, which URI pattern absorbed it, which IPs were most persistent.

Those questions are about distribution and time, not about a single row. SleekView Charts gives the BPS log and tables a real dashboard surface so security teams can answer trend questions without exporting and without leaving WordPress. The firewall keeps blocking; the dashboard makes the activity legible.
