Any audit plugin that writes to wp_options, postmeta, or its own custom tables can be surfaced. Schema is configurable. WP Activity Log, Simple History, Stream, and most enterprise audit plugins all work because SleekView reads underlying tables rather than coupling to a specific plugin's API. The detection runs against whatever schema you configure as the data source.

Yes. Use a custom role and frontend embed so auditors can view but not edit anything. Create a compliance-officer role with read-only capabilities, embed the audit view on a dedicated frontend page, and gate access by that role. Auditors log in via a custom URL, see the logs they need, and never touch wp-admin. This removes the security risk of giving auditors temporary admin rights for each review.

Yes. Every metadata key written to your audit tables can be added as a searchable column. If your plugin records IP addresses, user agents, request paths, or change diffs as metadata, each becomes a filterable field. Type-aware filters appear automatically: text fields get contains and exact match modes, numeric fields get ranges, and date fields get date pickers.

Yes. Server-side pagination and indexed reads keep it fast on large stores. Sites generating tens of millions of audit entries per year remain responsive when filters are scoped to a date range. For real-time investigation, default views scoped to the last 7 days load instantly, while quarter-long compliance reviews take a few seconds depending on the schema indexes.

Not directly, but rows can carry actions that fire WP hooks for any alerting plugin you already use. If you have a Slack webhook plugin or an email notification system listening to specific hooks, a row action can fire those hooks for the row's event. This integrates SleekView with whatever alerting infrastructure you already maintain rather than duplicating it.

Yes. Add a note column so investigators can annotate events for the next responder. The note travels with the row and persists across views, so the security team building the post-incident report sees every annotation the first responder added. Combine with a who-edited-when audit on the notes themselves to keep the meta-log of investigations consistent.

We strongly recommend against deleting audit log entries since the integrity of the log is itself a compliance requirement. SleekView is designed for read-and-annotate workflows, not delete workflows. For redaction of personally identifiable information under GDPR right-to-erasure requests, use your audit plugin's own redaction tooling so the redaction itself becomes part of the audit trail rather than a silent data change.

Each site maintains its own audit log, and SleekView views are site-scoped by default. For network-wide investigations, configure a view per site and link them from a network admin dashboard, or point at a centralized audit table if your plugin aggregates across sites. The cross-site investigation workflow then becomes one query per site or one query against the aggregate, depending on which schema you have configured.
