WP Limit Login Attempts keeps the login form narrow. Every failed attempt and lockout decision is captured in the plugin's own log table: IP, attempted username, gateway, and timestamp. The native admin shows these rows in a paginated list with simple filters. That works for case-by-case review and falls short when the operator needs to see which IPs are doing most of the work or whether the volume is climbing this week.

SleekView reads the lockout dataset directly. One row per lockout, with IP, user_login, gateway, and timestamp as filterable columns. Filter to gateway equals XML-RPC to isolate the legacy endpoint. Sort by IP to see repeat offenders. Filter to user_login contains admin or wp_admin to see attackers fishing for known accounts. Save the view; the next morning the queue is one click away.

The plugin keeps owning lockout decisions and captcha logic. SleekView only adds the queryable surface, so trends, rankings, and on-call review stop requiring CSV exports.

WP Limit Login Attempts is a focused tool: count failures, lock the door, log the row. That focus is also why its admin presents the data row by row. Anyone wanting a top-IP ranking or a per-day trend has to either look line by line or export CSVs.

SleekView reads the same lockout table the plugin already maintains and renders it as a sortable, filterable workspace. The plugin keeps owning lockouts. The security team gets a queryable triage surface, per-role scoping, and audit-ready CSV exports, so the decision to tighten or loosen policy is made on real numbers instead of guesses.
