Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Sanctuary Ranger Crash Recorder
In a protected folder inside your uploads directory. By default events are kept in two rotating files of about 512 KB each, and the 20 newest crash snapshots are kept. Both sizes can be changed in the settings. Uninstalling the plugin deletes everything.
Yes. Recording, snapshots, the crash screen box and quarantine all work in Playground. Email cannot be sent from Playground, webhooks may be blocked by the browser, and recorded data lasts only for the Playground session.
No. It rebuilds the PHP version and the active plugins that can be installed from WordPress.org, at their latest versions. Your content, settings, custom or paid plugins and the request that crashed are not copied, so the crash may not reproduce. It is a quick throwaway place to experiment.
Only if you click "Install early recorder" does it add one small file, wp-content/mu-plugins/sanctuary-ranger-early.php, which starts this plugin before other plugins. It does nothing while this plugin is deactivated. "Remove early recorder" or deleting this plugin removes it.
Yes. The bbcr_snapshot_saved action fires after a snapshot is saved (arguments: snapshot ID, snapshot data). The bbcr_webhook_body filter changes the webhook payload before it is sent. Others: bbcr_max_snapshots, bbcr_buffer_max_bytes, bbcr_max_events, bbcr_alert_throttle.
No. Every feature in this plugin is included and free. The only limits are the storage settings above, which control disk space. Sanctuary Ranger Pro is a separate paid add-on with additional features (crash grouping, Slack/Discord/Teams alert formats and a weekly digest); it does not unlock or remove anything here.
Crash grouping (identical errors counted together with first seen and last seen), Slack, Discord and Microsoft Teams formats for the webhook alert, and a weekly digest email. It is a separate plugin that needs this one and a license key.
It only deactivates plugins you tick, and only after repeated fatal errors. Do not tick plugins that must stay running, such as payment or checkout plugins.
It records fatal errors from any code that runs after Sanctuary Ranger loads, including earlier-loading plugins' fatals at shutdown, but it cannot log events from before it was loaded.
