Yes though I'd like my own ads to be randomized, not fixed, like regular ads would look. I'll take a look at the plugin you mention however so thanks for that.

Can it display other ads that aren't adsense? Like if I have my own series of ads I'd like to show on the board.
How could I have missed that. Thank you for pointing that out. Solved.
Oh that's right, it's a post ID, not the category name for example. Thanks for pointing that out. Solved :).
I've not checked that yet, not sure how but you're saying that even when a post is moved to another category, it will still be found using the old url?
Yup, it is internal.
I found this for anyone that comes across this. https://community.nodebb.org/topic/12493/nodebb-plugin-prometheus-prometheus-monitoring-for-nodebb
One question. Are the dashboard logs derived from the web server logs or directly from the nodebb code? I assume directly.
Well, I wasn't posting looking for technical information but now you have me curious :).
Looking at the logs, they strongly suggest automated bot activity. Hits from Googlebot and other search crawlers WordPress vulnerability scanners Automated scanning tools like ZGrab
Are these triggering login attempts either by mistake or as part of their crawling process? Googlebot, for example, accesses various URLs, including login pages, and might cause login events.
Many of the requests are targeting /wp-admin/setup-config.php, /wordpress/wp-admin/setup-config.php, /xmlrpc.php, /wlwmanifest.xml, and similar WordPress-related URLs.
Since it's not a WP site, are these requests resulting in redirects or 301 responses, but getting counted in access logs that result in the dashboard stats?
Yes but aren't those usually script kiddies? The number of unique visitors is only 202 while the login attempts are nearly 15K for yesterday alone.
I ended up rebuilding as there seem to be too many goofy things going on. Now it seems fine so have no idea what went wrong. It is acting normal now.
One odd thing is that I'm using postgres with my install and it seems to be legacy based. I've been using mysql for many years and the default mongo db with nodebb so it's the first time I'm using postgres.
Jeez I feel stupid for posting this. Of course, I forgot to rebuild that time.
Thanks for your help.
Yes, I'm aware of that but wondered if people offer pre-made child themes. I ask because that's something available on WP for example.
