SleekView Charts for UpdraftPlus
UpdraftPlus records every run as a job entry in wp_options. SleekView Charts reads that history and turns it into a reporting dashboard for ops teams, agencies, and on-call engineers.

A backup health dashboard built from existing job records
UpdraftPlus stores its run history as job records in wp_options, with per-job logs written to disk under wp-content/updraft. The Existing Backups screen lists archive files chronologically, which is useful for restores but unhelpful when the question is whether nightly Fulls actually shipped at the right size to the right destination over the last month.
SleekView Charts reads the same job records and turns them into a configurable dashboard. Number cards show the headline figures: total runs this month, successful Fulls, average backup size. A donut summarizes destination mix across Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, and OneDrive. Bar cards rank outcomes and durations. Area cards trace size over time so a backup that quietly shrank from 4.2 GB to 2.8 GB shows up as a downward slope before the next restore is needed.
Each card reads the records UpdraftPlus already writes, so the schedule, the destinations, and the archives stay where the plugin manages them. The dashboard is a read on top of an existing source of truth, which is exactly the right shape for backup observability.

Comparison
Default UpdraftPlus reporting vs SleekView Charts
Default UpdraftPlus Existing Backups
- Existing Backups screen is archive-first, not a reporting view
- No success rate or failure rate at a glance
- No destination mix chart across months
- No trend view of backup size or duration
- Per-job logs require opening each run individually
SleekView Charts
- Number cards for total runs, successful Fulls, and average size
- Donut for destination concentration across cloud targets
- Stacked bar for outcomes broken down per destination
- Area chart for backup size or duration over time
- All cards filter together by destination, outcome, or date range
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for UpdraftPlus
Morning health on one screen
Replace the scroll through Existing Backups with a dashboard that answers ops questions directly. Success rate, destination mix, and duration trend sit on a single screen instead of behind a paginated archive list.
Catch silent drift early
An area chart of size or duration over time exposes the kind of slow regression notification emails never catch. A backup creeping from 12 to 18 minutes over six weeks is visible weeks before the schedule actually breaks.
Concentration risk visible
The destination donut surfaces over-reliance on a single cloud target. When 80 percent of nightly Fulls go to one provider, the donut makes the risk obvious before the provider has an outage.
Audience
Who builds UpdraftPlus charts dashboards with SleekView
Site reliability engineers
Open the dashboard each morning to confirm nightly Fulls shipped to every configured destination at the right size. The standup question is answered before anyone asks it.
Agencies
Run the same dashboard across every client install for retainer reviews. Backup health becomes a chart screenshot in the monthly report rather than a sentence the account manager has to investigate.
On-call engineers
When something breaks at 3am, the dashboard's outcomes-by-destination card surfaces which target is throttling without scrolling through the per-job logs. Triage shrinks from minutes to seconds.
The bigger picture
Why backup observability needs charts, not just rows
UpdraftPlus notifications tell you when a single run fails, which is useful right up until the failure mode is silent rather than loud. A backup that succeeds with zero bytes does not trigger a failure email. Neither does a destination that slowly creeps from a five-minute push to a fifteen-minute push over a quarter.
Neither does a backup size that quietly halves because a database table was archived. The only way to see those is to look at the run history as a dataset and ask aggregate questions of it: what is our success rate this month, which destination is slowest this week, how has average size moved over six months. SleekView Charts reads the same job records UpdraftPlus already writes and answers those questions on one screen.
The Existing Backups screen stays where it is for picking the right archive to restore from. The Charts view is the observability layer on top, and for ops teams managing more than a handful of WordPress sites, that distinction is the difference between trusting backups and knowing they are healthy.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for UpdraftPlus
No. UpdraftPlus owns the schedule, destinations, archive builds, and restore tooling. SleekView Charts reads the job records UpdraftPlus already writes and renders them as a dashboard. Installing or removing SleekView has no effect on backup behavior.
From the UpdraftPlus job entries in wp_options and the per-job log files under wp-content/updraft. Each chart card is a read against the same records the Existing Backups screen and the email notifications already use.
Yes. Premium destinations like OneDrive for Business, Backblaze B2, and SFTP appear identically as filterable destination values, and incremental backups surface as their own job type. Premium features show up as additional groupings without further configuration.
Yes. The dashboard has a top-level filter bar that applies across all cards. Picking Google Drive narrows every card to Google Drive runs, which is the fastest way to investigate a single destination that is misbehaving.
Yes. UpdraftPlus job records are subsite-scoped, so each subsite has its own SleekView Charts dashboard pointed at its own backup history. Network-wide reporting works by switching subsites or rolling up exports.
No. Chart aggregations are computed on demand against the small wp_options-based job records, with results cached between renders. A site with two years of nightly history loads in well under a second on typical hosting.
Yes. Each card supports a CSV export of its underlying aggregation. Export the success-rate-by-destination card for a retainer review, or the size-over-time card for a capacity planning conversation with the host.
Yes. The metadata for each run is on your site regardless of where the archive landed. SleekView Charts reads that metadata, which means a backup pushed to Amazon S3 appears in the same charts as one pushed to Dropbox. The archive itself stays at the destination UpdraftPlus shipped it to.
