Overview
Stream is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed for monitoring and logging user activity and system events, making it an essential tool for debugging and compliance. By recording actions such as plugin activations, post deletions, and login attempts, Stream enables administrators to track changes, identify responsible users, and timestamp actions. The plugin offers robust filtering capabilities, allowing users to sort logs by criteria such as User, Role, Context, and IP address. Highlighting entries is possible to quickly spot suspicious activity. Stream supports real-time notifications and integrates seamlessly with third-party tools like Slack and IFTTT for immediate alerts. Advanced features include a multisite network view, exclusion rules, and a WP-CLI command for querying records. The plugin is equipped with built-in tracking for popular plugins like WooCommerce and Yoast SEO, and it can monitor core WordPress actions such as post modifications, theme changes, and user management. Configuration is straightforward, with most settings accessible via the WordPress dashboard. Despite its extensive capabilities, care must be taken to configure server settings correctly to ensure accurate IP logging, especially in environments utilizing reverse proxies or CDNs. Additionally, the plugin supports data export in CSV and JSON formats, adding to its versatility in maintaining site security and performance.

Helpful and nicely done. Especially the integration of logging and notification features makes a lot of sense and sets this plugin apart from others.
On the other hand: The information provided in email notifications is not always sufficient and only in parts customizable. And it looks like the developers do not care about answering questions in the support forum.

This is a great plugin that records almost everything except the video plays of my revolution video player WordPress plugin. I wish it could record when a user plays a video and when he stops on one. Otherwise I love it already! Thanks for considering this.

Have been using this plugin for many years now, very useful as an audit trail when a site “just broke itself” 😛
