Activity log plugins like WP Audit Trail record everything: logins, plugin changes, post edits, user updates, failed authentication attempts. The default UIs often paginate slowly, ignore custom metadata fields, and require SQL for filtering by IP or severity.

SleekView Charts reads from the audit log tables directly (wp_audit_log_events, wp_audit_log_meta, or whatever schema your install writes) and turns them into chart cards. Severity as a Donut, top users as a ranked Bar, top IPs as another Bar, and events per hour as a Step Area.

The chart layer is not a replacement for the audit log. It is the summary view investigators reach for first, before drilling into rows. Saved filter presets handle SOC, GDPR, or HIPAA review patterns and rerun in seconds.

Audit logs are the foundation of modern incident response, and almost every WordPress security or compliance program runs on a plugin that writes everything to the database. The problem is rarely missing data; it is the inability to make that data legible at speed. A list of ten thousand events does not tell anyone whether the day is normal or not.

A Donut over severity, a ranked Bar of top users, and a Step Area over the last 24 hours answer that question instantly, then act as the entry point into the row-level drill-down. SleekView Charts adds the chart layer the audit log always deserved, without changing how the plugin captures, retains, or formats the underlying events.
