Add historical CPU and RAM usage by subscription in Plesk Repair Kit
Currently, Plesk Repair Kit extension does monitor in real time the CPU and RAM usage per domain: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360007784053-Is-it-possible-to-monitor-CPU-Memory-like-in-Health-Monitor-per-domain-subscription-basis-

Enable/disable debug in Plesk via CLI
The suggestion is to implement CLI utilities to enable/disable Plesk debug:
plesk debug -enable
enabled = on
filter.priority = 7
show.utilexec = on
show.utilexec_io = onplesk debug -enable --sql
The same as previous + show.sql_query = onplesk debug -disable
Now it is necessary to remember panel.ini path (/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/), copy panel.ini.sample, then edit it manually every time. And the same procedure to disable it.
33 votesIt's enough to call the following command:
plesk conf panel.ini

Add functionality to install, modify and manage wordpress or joomla via API
Right now you can set a service plan to have WordPress or Joomla pre-installed with any new subscriptions, however the installation data such as admin usernames, passwords, site titles are randomized more so if the subscription/domain is setup via API. I think it could be nice if there was an option to install them with custom data or customize them via API. such that when installing via API, i can explicitly set the site title, admin username and passwords, database usernames and passwords etc.

Add custom dns recursion settings via Plesk GUI or CLI and avoid overwriting by Plesk
Going to Tools & Settings > DNS Template > DNS Recursion Settings, it's not possible to set a custom list of IPs or hostnames, it's only possible to choose between different options: any host, localnets, localhost.
As a workaround to this limitation, i'ts required to customize the options section in the /etc/named.conf file, but it gets overwritten by Plesk.
Please, add the possibility to customize the dns recursion settings via Plesk GUI and to keep the custom allow-recursive set in /etc/named.conf file.

wordpress toolkit disable auto update
Plesk Web Admin version comes with a limited WP Toolkit.
It updates WP automatically and the option to deactivate the autoupdate is blocked because of licensing.
I understand that to handle updates from Plesk one should buy a Toolkit license but for the basic free version it should be possible do disable updates.
Thank you.
