WordPress Watching WordPress
September 1st, 2011
I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, and finally did. I took the website monitoring script I’ve used for awhile and turned it into a WordPress plugin. Tyrone the WP Watchdog is now available in the WordPress plugin repository.
Tyrone turns a WordPress install into a monitoring tool, which allows you to keep tabs on all the installations you’re responsible for. This is designed for people who are managing say 20 or more installations of WordPress. Tyrone will sniff out your sites and try and determine the version and flag those that are not up to date. He can also look for known spam terms, or whatever you like.
I’m actively using and developing the plugin, and appreciate constructive feedback. A more detailed write up and screenshots will follow soon.
