The WordPress Site Agent

A WordPress plugin that reports problems from inside your site — errors an outside check can't see.

What it does

The Site Agent is a WordPress plugin that reports health from inside your site. An outside check can only see what a visitor sees; the agent catches things the outside world can't — PHP errors, plugin/theme failures, and WooCommerce problems like "no payment method available for a real cart". It sends a regular heartbeat so you also know the plugin (and the site) is alive.

Install & connect

  1. On a plan that includes the Site Agent, open a site and go to its Site Agent tab.
  2. Generate a connection token (shown once) and copy it.
  3. Install the Monitrova Site Agent plugin on your WordPress site and paste the token to connect.
  4. The plugin tests the connection, then begins sending heartbeats and events — you'll see them on the agent timeline.

Connection states

State What it means
Connected The agent has checked in recently — the plugin is active and reporting.
Stale No heartbeat for a while — the plugin may be deactivated, or the site is having trouble.
Not connected No agent has ever connected for this site.

Signals it reports

Signal What it means
Heartbeat A periodic "I'm alive" ping that proves the plugin and site are running.
Error / Critical A PHP error, plugin/theme failure or fatal error — these can trigger an alert.
WooCommerce signals Inside-store problems such as no available payment method, a noindexed checkout, or a checkout missing its form.
Cron Results from the plugin's scheduled in-site checks.

Good to know

  • The Site Agent is available on plans that include it.
  • The token is shown only once — regenerate it if you lose it; revoke it to disconnect a site.
  • It complements, not replaces, the outside checks — together they cover both "what visitors see" and "what's happening inside".
