SleekView Charts for Easy Updates Manager: update logs KPIs
Easy Updates Manager stores configuration in the MPSUM_options array under wp_options and writes every core, plugin, and theme update event into the mpsum_logs table. SleekView Charts reads both and turns updates by type, by status, and by day into a live dashboard.

From an update toggle to a real activity dashboard
Easy Updates Manager (formerly Stops Core Theme and Plugin Updates) is the most installed WordPress update control plugin, used to enable, schedule, and audit core, plugin, and theme updates. Its configuration lives under MPSUM_options in wp_options, and every actual update event is written into a dedicated mpsum_logs table with columns for type (core, plugin, theme, translation), name, version_from, version_to, status, and action_date.
SleekView Charts reads the same table and exposes it as a data source. A Number KPI counts updates in the current month. A Pie groups them by type, so the team sees the mix between plugin updates, theme updates, and core upgrades. A Bar ranks plugins by update count, surfacing the ones that ship most often and dominate the maintenance load. An Area trends updates per day, lined up with releases and security advisories.
The result is the maintenance picture WordPress Admin never delivers natively. Update history is right there in the log table but never as a chart. SleekView turns the same rows into cards that ops, agencies, and security teams all read instead of digging through the log screen.

Comparison

Default EUM log screen
- Log screen is paginated rows with no aggregate counts on top
- No KPI for total updates this month visible without filtering
- Updates by type need separate searches inside the log screen
- Failed updates blend in with successes and are easy to miss
- Top plugins by update count cannot be ranked without exporting first
SleekView Charts
- Reads mpsum_logs as a live chart data source with full column access
- Pie by update type covers plugin, theme, core, and translation runs
- Top-plugins bar surfaces the heaviest maintenance dependencies
- Daily area trend lines up with security advisories and major releases
- Failed-update card flags rows that need a manual retry this week
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for Easy Updates Manager
Maintenance KPI
Number card for updates this month plus a delta against last month. Ops sees the maintenance load in one number before opening the plugins screen for the morning standup.
Update type mix
Donut of plugin, theme, core, and translation update events. Reveals whether the site is mostly chasing plugin releases or sitting on a recent WP core upgrade cycle.
Failed update alerts
Dedicated card for mpsum_logs rows with status failure. Failed updates ride to the top so the next manual retry happens before a security release sits unapplied.
Audience
Where Easy Updates Manager charts pay off
Security teams
Daily update activity and failed-update cards turn the log screen into a security feed. Advisories that need urgent patching surface as spikes on the area chart.
Maintenance ops
The maintenance KPI and the top-plugins bar reveal the heavy dependencies. Plugins shipping every week become candidates for review or replacement after a few months.
Agencies
Client reports include updates per month, type mix, and failure count. Proving the maintenance program is doing its job becomes a chart instead of a CSV export.
The bigger picture
Update logs are data, not just a screen of rows
Easy Updates Manager has been the standard WordPress update controller since the Stops Core era and is installed across hundreds of thousands of sites. Its log table holds the entire maintenance history of every site it manages, but the plugin's own log screen presents it as a paginated row dump with no aggregate view. Ops teams scroll.
Security teams search. Agencies export. None of that maps onto how update programs are actually reviewed.
SleekView Charts reads the same mpsum_logs table the plugin already writes and exposes the data as a dashboard. Updates this month, type mix, top plugins by update count, daily activity, and failed-update alerts all land on one screen. Maintenance reviews start from a chart instead of a search box, and the plugin's invisible historical data becomes the foundation of the program rather than a backup of it.
The plugin keeps managing updates, the dashboard does the reporting.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for Easy Updates Manager
From the mpsum_logs custom table that Easy Updates Manager writes every update event into, plus the MPSUM_options array in wp_options for configuration context. All are existing storage the plugin already creates and maintains.
Yes. The type column in mpsum_logs is a first-class filter on the dashboard. Pick plugin and every card reshapes to plugin updates only while the totals stay live. Switch to theme or core for a different slice without touching the underlying logs.
Yes. The status column in mpsum_logs distinguishes success from failure. A dedicated card lists failed rows in date order so ops can spot patches that did not land and trigger a manual retry from inside Easy Updates Manager.
Yes. The name column on mpsum_logs is exposed as a groupBy. A horizontal Bar ranks plugins by update count, surfacing the ones that ship most often and dominate the monthly maintenance load on the site.
Yes. Each subsite holds its own mpsum_logs table or shares the network log depending on configuration. SleekView Charts can point at one subsite or stack network-wide cards, giving network admins a complete update picture across the install.
Yes. Joining the daily area chart against the public WordPress release timeline highlights weeks when core, theme, and plugin updates piled up. Sites that batch maintenance around core releases see the pattern in one screen.
It refreshes on every dashboard load. New rows in mpsum_logs reflect on the next render with no nightly sync, no rebuild step, and no manual import between Easy Updates Manager and the chart cards.
No. Pointing SleekView Charts at the mpsum_logs table is done from WP Admin. Aggregation, group-by, color, and filter are dropdown choices. No SQL is written and no custom code is required to render the update activity dashboard.
