Growth Alert Additional Emails

Description: Adds additional recipients for DB growth alerts. How it works: growth_email_addresses supports multiple addresses so teams can be notified. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools → Settings. Enter additional emails (comma/space separated). Save changes. Recommended setting: Add at least one backup recipient to prevent missed alerts.

Growth Alert Primary Email

Description: Sets a primary email recipient for DB growth alerts. How it works: growth_email is used as the default recipient when thresholds are exceeded. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools → Settings. Enter Growth Email. Save changes. Recommended setting: Use a monitored security/ops inbox rather than a personal address.

Growth Threshold (MB)

Description: Sets the growth threshold that triggers alerts when monitoring is enabled. How it works: growth_threshold_mb is compared against size deltas between snapshots to detect abnormal growth. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools → Settings. Set Growth Threshold (MB). Save changes. Recommended setting: 100MB is a good start; tune based on typical weekly growth.

Weekly Optimization Scheduler

Description: Automatically optimizes tables on a weekly schedule (Pro). How it works: weekly_optimize triggers a maintenance job that runs optimization and stores last_optimize timestamps. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools → Settings. Enable weekly optimization. Save changes. Recommended setting: Enable for sites with heavy logging/ecommerce; disable if your host already optimizes frequently.

Description: Repairs corrupted tables and checks table integrity. How it works: DB Tools can run REPAIR/CHECK operations to correct issues and restore integrity. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools. Run a check/repair on affected tables. Review output for errors. Recommended setting: Repair only when issues are detected; investigate repeated corruption for hosting/storage problems.

Description: Optimizes tables to reclaim space and improve query performance. How it works: DB Tools runs OPTIMIZE TABLE (where supported) and records events for auditing. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools. Select table(s) or run optimize action. Confirm completion and check performance. Recommended setting: Run during low-traffic windows; always back up before major DB operations.

Description: Shows per-table row counts and storage usage to identify bloat sources. How it works: AegisShield calculates table sizes and highlights outliers that may indicate logging bloat or spam tables. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools. Sort by Size or Rows. Inspect top tables. Recommended setting: Large options/transients tables often indicate plugin issues; clean up carefully.

Database Table Overview

Description: Displays database tables with size, rows, and health info to help maintain performance. How it works: DB Tools queries table statistics and shows which tables are large or fragmented, helping prioritize optimization. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → DB Tools. Review table list for size/row anomalies. Click optimize/repair actions when needed. Recommended setting: Review monthly; investigate sudden growth in unknown tables.

Quick Scan Schedule Frequency

Description: Controls how often incremental quick scans run when enabled. How it works: quick_schedule_frequency determines the cadence (e.g., hourly/daily) for quick scan execution. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → Malware Scan → Incremental / Quick Scan. Set quick scan frequency. Save changes. Recommended setting: Daily is usually enough; use more frequent scans only if your hosting can handle it.

Incremental Quick Scan (Changed Files Only)

Description: Scans only recently changed files to provide a faster, continuous signal (Pro). How it works: Incremental scanning uses file change signals (e.g., mtime/monitor events) to focus on newly modified files since last run. How to access / configure: WP Admin → AegisShield → Malware Scan → Incremental / Quick Scan. Enable scheduled quick scans. Set frequency and Save Changes. Recommended setting: Enable with a daily quick scan on active sites; combine with weekly full scans.
