Cerber's activity tab is the right tool for inspecting a single event. It is not the right tool for a question shaped like a chart: how many cloud blocks landed in the last seven days, which activity codes are firing most, which IP ranges keep showing up, how does today's failed-login volume compare to last week. The default view answers one row at a time, while the data already lives in two well-shaped tables.

SleekView Charts connects to wp_cerber_log and wp_cerber_traffic directly. The log table tracks ip, ip_long, user_login, user_id, stamp, and an activity integer that maps to Cerber's event taxonomy (failed login, blocked IP, spam comment, file change, and so on). The traffic table tracks request URI, HTTP method, status, and processing time. Every column becomes either a groupBy axis or an aggregation target on a chart card.

The cloud module adds a layer on top: blocks pushed in from the global Cerber blocklist appear in the log with their own activity codes alongside locally detected blocks. A Pie of activity codes shows the local versus cloud split instantly, while a Bar of top blocked IPs surfaces the noisiest networks. The cerber_acl table contributes another layer for allowlist and blocklist entries, and cerber_blocks tracks active IP locks with TTLs so a Number card can show how many addresses are currently locked.

WP Cerber writes a clean, indexed activity log to cerber_log and a fully detailed request log to cerber_traffic. The data is high quality and the admin views work well for single-row review. The moment a team needs to compare days, weeks, or sites, a list is the wrong shape.

The activity column on cerber_log carries the entire event taxonomy as integers, so a Pie groups it directly. The ip column joins back to ip_long for fast range queries, so a Bar of top blockers is a one-line aggregate. The stamp column is indexed, so a daily Area runs without scanning the table.

None of this needs a second copy of the data. SleekView Charts reads the same rows Cerber writes and reframes them as a dashboard the night shift can keep open all the time.
