SleekView Charts for WP-CLI
SleekView Charts reads a small custom table fed by a WP-CLI before_invoke and after_invoke hook, and renders command counts, exit codes, runtime and host activity as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards instead of a scrolling shell history.

WP-CLI history deserves a dashboard, not a terminal scroll
WP-CLI is the quiet engine behind most professional WordPress sites. Cron tasks, deploys, migrations, search-replace runs, plugin installs, user resets and the dozens of one-off scripts that keep a site healthy all go through wp on the command line. Each individual command is a one-line story in a shell prompt that disappears when the terminal closes.
SleekView Charts assumes a small logging shim: a tiny mu-plugin that hooks WP-CLI's before_invoke and after_invoke and writes one row per command with the command name, arguments, exit code, runtime, host and timestamp. With that table in place, charts are immediate. A Number card counts commands run in the last 7 days. A Pie splits them by top-level command (wp post, wp user, wp cron, wp db). A Bar groups by exit code so failed runs surface as their own bucket. An Area trends runs per day so a deploy cadence becomes visible.
Nothing about WP-CLI itself changes. The shim is opt-in, the table is yours, and SleekView just reads it. The result is an operator surface for a tool that has, historically, only had a shell history.

Comparison
Default WP-CLI shell history vs SleekView Charts
Default shell history
- Shell history is per user, per machine and disappears when the terminal closes
- No aggregate view of how many commands ran or how many failed
- Cannot split runs by command, exit code, host or time of day
- No runtime trend to spot a slowing deploy or a degrading cron task
- No way to share a read-only summary outside the shell
SleekView Charts
- KPI card for total WP-CLI runs in any window
- Pie of runs by top-level command across the team
- Bar of exit codes so failures surface instead of hiding in scrollback
- Area trend of runtime so degradation is visible before incidents
- Filters carry between table and chart view on the same dataset
Features
What SleekView Charts gives you for WP-CLI
Operator surface for the shell
Render WP-CLI activity as Number, Pie, Bar and Area cards. Ops leads see deploy cadence, failure rate and the shape of automation, not just a scrolling terminal.
Failures as their own queue
Filter to exit_code != 0 and the chart cards and triage table both narrow to failed runs. Recurring failures stop hiding behind successful runs in the same shell history.
Shareable post-mortem
Export the runs behind a card as CSV, or share the dashboard as a read-only URL. Post-mortems get a real timeline instead of pasted terminal screenshots.
Audience
Who builds WP-CLI charts dashboards with SleekView
DevOps and deploy leads
Track deploy cadence and runtime trends across staging and production. Spot the day a wp db query started taking three times longer before it becomes a customer-facing incident.
Incident responders
Pin a failed-runs view to the dashboard, scoped to the last 24 hours. Recurring exit-code-1 commands stop hiding inside successful deploys and get their own triage queue.
Agency ops
Hand each client team a read-only WP-CLI dashboard scoped to their host. Automation health stops being an internal black box and becomes a number anyone can quote.
The bigger picture
Why a command-line tool needs a dashboard
WP-CLI is the most reliable interface WordPress has, and it shows up everywhere serious sites are run: deploys, migrations, scheduled tasks, ad-hoc fixes, license rotations. The trouble is that every run lives in a shell, and a shell forgets. Operators end up debugging incidents by SSHing into the box and scrolling history, which is fine for one machine and impossible across a fleet.
A small hook into before_invoke and after_invoke writes one row per command and changes the whole picture. Suddenly there is a KPI of total runs, a pie of which commands dominate, a bar of exit codes that makes failures hard to miss, and a trend line for runtime that exposes degradation weeks before it bites. Same WP-CLI, same scripts, same deploys, but a measurable surface where there used to be a terminal window.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Charts for WP-CLI
Just a captured log table. A small mu-plugin listens for WP_CLI::add_hook('before_invoke') and 'after_invoke', then writes a row with command, exit_code, duration and host into a dedicated table such as wp_wpcli_runs. No change to existing scripts.
No. The hook writes a single row at the end of each command, which is a single INSERT. WP-CLI commands typically dominate the budget themselves; a tail-end log write is invisible in comparison and far cheaper than the runtime it measures.
Yes. Group by started_at with an Area or Line card and a Count aggregation to see runs per day or week. Combine with a filter on a specific command, such as wp core update or wp db search-replace, to see the cadence of a particular operation.
Yes. Group by exit_code with a Bar card and the buckets of 1, 2 and 255 (the common failure codes) surface as their own bars. Combine with a date filter to see whether the failure rate spiked after a particular deploy.
Yes if your log table includes a host column. Group by host on a Bar card to see which staging or production box is doing most of the work, and filter by host to scope the rest of the dashboard. Useful on multisite or multi-environment setups.
Yes. Add a filter for command and the whole dashboard, including KPI, pie, bar and trend, narrows to that single command. Pin a dashboard for wp cron event run or wp db query and treat it as its own ops cockpit.
No. Real log aggregators ingest structured logs from many systems and offer features SleekView does not, such as alerting and tracing. SleekView Charts gives WP-CLI activity that already lives on the same WordPress install a queryable surface without sending the data anywhere external.
Yes. Any filtered set behind a chart card exports as CSV with the same columns the table view would show. Post-mortems and ops reviews get a real timeline of commands and exit codes instead of pasted terminal screenshots.
