Statistics: Your server in numbers — without the privacy headaches

You want to see when your community is most active, which channels are actually used, and whether your plugins run smoothly? Statistics delivers all of that in a dashboard tab — without ever storing message content.

What it does

• Hero stats — live KPIs — four tiles: total members, online members, messages today, new members this week.
• Member growth (30 days) — line chart of daily joins and leaves. Spot at a glance whether an event drove joins or losses.
• Activity heatmap (7×24 grid) — weekday × hour with average message activity. Plan events, announcements, maintenance windows.
• Top channels (donut chart) — the 10 most-used text channels by message volume. Shows which areas are quiet.
• Top contributors (ranking) — most active members by messages and voice minutes, combined with leveling score. Admins only.
• Module activity (health cards) — one card per installed plugin: how many events processed today, any errors in the log?

How the data pipeline works

Every message in your server is captured in real time without hitting the Discord API. Every 5 minutes a batch flushes from the Redis buffer to the database — precise numbers, no performance penalty. The Discord hot path stays under 5 ms because the counter is fire-and-forget into Redis.

How to set it up

1. Open Dashboard → Statistics.
2. Enable the module — done.
3. Pick your time-range filter (7 / 30 / 90 days).
4. Check the heatmap, find your server's peak slot — schedule announcements there.

Tips for better results

• The heatmap takes 14 days to be meaningful — the pipeline collects from activation, nothing retroactive.
• Use top channels as an audit — channels with <10 messages/week are candidates for archiving or merging.
• Check module health cards regularly — if Killfeed suddenly shows red events, your token is probably about to expire.

FAQ

Does Statistics slow down my server? No. The counter write is fire-and-forget into Redis — under 1 ms per message, entirely outside the Discord event hot path. The DB write happens in the background every 5 minutes.

Is message content stored? No. We store only per-hour-per-channel counters and member events (join/leave with timestamp). No message text, no attachments, no reactions.

Why is my growth chart empty? Data collection starts at install time. Historical data before setup cannot be reconstructed retroactively.
