GEO Metrics AI Traffic Monitor turns your raw server and WordPress logs into actionable intelligence about AI bot traffic. In a world where ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity crawl billions of pages to power their answers, knowing whether those bots visit your site — and what they read — is a new SEO frontier. The plugin works out of the box with zero configuration. It reads your existing debug.log, access logs, and PHP error logs, identifies AI crawlers by their User-Agent string, and displays a clean analytics dashboard inside your WordPress admin. What you get AI Bot Dashboard — KPI cards for total requests, AI bot visits, distinct bots detected, and the active date range. Visual trend chart broken down per bot per day. Donut chart of bot share. Bot Details tab — per-bot breakdown with company grouping (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta…), bot type (crawler / agent / search / researcher), top pages visited, and HTTP status distribution. Log Viewer tab — raw log lines with syntax highlighting, live refresh via AJAX, and per-event type/severity filtering. Live Traffic capture — the plugin writes its own live.log (no server log access needed), capturing every frontend, REST API, and AJAX request in Combined Log Format, with automatic 5 MB rotation. Date range filter — filter all dashboard data by custom date range or quick presets (Last 7 days, Last 30 days, etc.). WP-Cron sync — automatic parsing on a configurable schedule (Hourly / Every 6 hours / Twice daily / Daily). Data retention — configurable retention period (default 30 days) with automatic purge. Proxy-aware IP detection — optional trust of X-Forwarded-For / CF-Connecting-IP headers for sites behind Cloudflare or a reverse proxy.
