How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

Reviewers like the filtering, the intuitive interface and the alerts about a publicly accessible debug.log, though the newest reviewer says it doesn't surface enough detail to actually troubleshoot errors.

   Unhappy with this plugin. It has potential but it does not show enough information to troubleshoot errors.

   I have to do some routine maintenance on a website and I was looking for a plugin that could help me to get the debug.log from the control panel. I found it very useful. It allows filtering by type of notification and the interface is very intuitive. It also warns you if your debug.log file is publicly accessible, which avoids showing a lot of sensitive details. It also has the option to send an email every so often of the debug.log, a very interesting feature to detect problems in your installation. Congratulations on the plugin.
