Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Vigilant Healthchecks version 1.0.0 as active, updated 10mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.9.
Overview
About this plugin
Vigilant Healthchecks provides a REST healthcheck endpoint at /wp-json/vigilant/v1/health with an admin interface to conrol which checks are executed.
This plugin is designed to integrate with Vigilant, an all-in-one web monitoring tool which can be self-hosted.
Key Features
Protected REST endpoint with configurable token.
Built-in checks for database connectivity, core versions, plugin updates, cron freshness, Redis, and WordPress Site Health issues.
Metrics catalogue for memory, disk, CPU load, and database size with sensible caching defaults.
Extensible registry and hooks ( vigilant_healthchecks_prepare, vigilant_healthchecks_cron_threshold, vigilant_healthchecks_database_size_cache_ttl ) so you can add custom checks and metrics.
Scheduler heartbeat ( vigilant_healthchecks_cron_monitor ) that validates WP-Cron is actually running and reports stale schedules.
How It Works
Configure the bearer token under Settings → Vigilant Healthchecks; every REST request must include Authorization: Bearer <token>.
Toggle the checks and metrics you want to expose; disabled items are never instantiated so they have zero runtime impact.
Call the endpoint yourself or configure your website in Vigilant.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
