This is a must have tool when troubleshooting issues on WP sites where things aren’t
running as scheduled. Helpful for monitoring in general. The logs’ table size in
the database was a problem, but after feedback, the author added a Cleanup button
in v1.3.x to fix. Much appreciated.

I just installed this, and my first impression is that it does what it is supposed
to do. I have my cron running from the server level, and they were logged. The thing
that prevented me from giving this 5 stars is that I would prefer to receive the
cron reports via email without the need to log into the site and pull up the cron
logger tool.

I decided to turn off CRON and schedule it myself with Cron Jobs to reduce the number
of cron invocations. Then of course you want to know that the various scheduled 
cron activities are taking place. This plugin tells you exactly what is going on.
Very useful.
