SleekView Charts for Debug Bar
Read the persisted audit table your Debug Bar add-on writes and chart deprecated calls, slow actions, and cron drift over time, in panels, and by source.

From single-request panels to per-quarter charts
Debug Bar itself does not write to a database table. The panel renders, you read it, and the next request wipes the data. Teams that want longer-term insight extend a Debug Bar add-on or ship a small companion plugin that captures the findings worth keeping (deprecated calls, slow actions over a threshold, missed cron) into a dedicated audit table.
SleekView reads that captured table and renders the rows as chart cards: total findings this week, deprecated calls grouped by function, slow actions plotted by day, missed cron events grouped by hook. The dashboard runs against the same rows the SleekView table view already surfaces, so the chart and the grid stay in sync.
The dashboard does not turn Debug Bar into a real-time logger. It charts what your add-on already chose to persist, which means a deprecation that fires fifty times a day becomes a single bar on a chart instead of fifty silent panel views.

Comparison
Debug Bar panels vs SleekView Charts
Debug Bar panels and add-on screens
- Panel data is per-request and disappears on the next page load
- Add-ons each render their own panel with no cross-panel summary
- No built-in charting or aggregation across requests
- Cross-request analysis means custom SQL on the captured table
- Trends over a week or a sprint are not surfaced at all
SleekView Charts
- Read the captured audit table your add-on already writes
- Total findings, panel mix, deprecated leaders, and duration trends on one screen
- Drill from any chart segment to a filtered SleekView table
- Saved dashboards for weekly reliability check-ins
- Shares the same cache as the SleekView table view, no duplicate queries
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Debug Bar
Weekly reliability KPIs
A small KPI grid summarises the week before any panel breakdown. Total findings, average duration, and active deprecated functions sit at the top of the dashboard for the standup glance.
Duration trends, not single readings
Plot captured slow-action duration as a daily average and watch the slope. The chart catches the gradual regression that single-request panels never connect across days.
Deprecation leaders
Horizontal bars of the top deprecated function names give the next refactor a queue. The first bar usually maps to one fix that clears thousands of captured findings.
Audience
Who builds Debug Bar charts dashboards with SleekView
Plugin developers
Track which deprecated calls and slow actions a release introduced. The deprecation leader chart and duration trend together show whether a build is improving or quietly regressing the host site.
Site reliability
Pin a Debug Bar dashboard to the WP Admin home so scheduler drift and admin lag are visible every morning. A spiking area chart shows up before the on-call ticket does.
QA engineers
Use the dashboard during regression cycles to verify the build did not add deprecated calls. The donut and bar together answer the regression questions a static test plan cannot.
The bigger picture
Why a Debug Bar charts dashboard is worth building
Debug Bar has shipped a per-request inspector for over a decade, and that inspector remains the right tool for the request you are looking at right now. The wrong tool for the same data is the same panel reopened a hundred times. Once your team commits to persisting findings into an audit table, the next question is how to read that table at a glance, and a panel-style admin screen is not the answer.
A chart of total findings is the weekly health check. A donut of finding type is the planning lens. A bar of top deprecated functions is the refactor backlog.
An area chart of duration is the regression alarm. None of those are exotic charts; they are the same four shapes every reliability team builds in a spreadsheet, only kept inside WP Admin where the captured data already lives. SleekView reads the audit table your Debug Bar add-on writes, surfaces it as the chart cards above, and leaves Debug Bar itself untouched.
The panel stays the per-request inspector. The dashboard becomes its per-quarter companion.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Debug Bar
No. Debug Bar renders panels per request and discards the data after page load. SleekView reads the audit table your add-on or companion plugin writes.
 Any add-on (or custom companion) that writes captured findings to a dedicated table works. The chart cards are configured against the column names the add-on chooses.
 Yes. Clicking a chart segment opens the SleekView table view filtered to the matching rows, so you keep the dashboard context while triaging.
 No. SleekView reads the persisted audit table on the cadence you configure and renders the cards from the cache, so dashboards stay fast even on large tables.
 No. The panel is still the right tool for inspecting the current request. The dashboard is for cross-request analysis the panel was never built to support.
 Yes. Any captured column can be a chart grouping axis, so source URL, panel name, finding type, or any custom column work as primary or secondary breakdown.
 No. SleekView Charts read persisted rows. If your add-on is not writing to a table, you will need to enable that capture step first.
 Yes. Saved chart views respect WordPress capabilities, so a site lead or support manager can view the reliability dashboard without holding a developer role.
