Great Tool
by slomeli79·1 year ago
This is a must have tool when troubleshooting issues on WP sites where things aren’t running as scheduled. Helpful for monitoring in general.
The logs’ table size in the database was a problem, but after feedback, the author added a Cleanup button in v1.3.x to fix. Much appreciated.

Does the Job

I just installed this, and my first impression is that it does what it is supposed to do. I have my cron running from the server level, and they were logged. The thing that prevented me from giving this 5 stars is that I would prefer to receive the cron reports via email without the need to log into the site and pull up the cron logger tool.
Works, simply and well…

Very nice, clean, and helpful… Thanks to the author for making it available and keeping it updated…
Exactly what is needed
by zapappa·6 years ago
I decided to turn off CRON and schedule it myself with Cron Jobs to reduce the number of cron invocations. Then of course you want to know that the various scheduled cron activities are taking place. This plugin tells you exactly what is going on. Very useful.
