Analytics

Turn Analytics on. Open your server's Services page in the dashboard and switch Analytics on. From that moment the bot records every regular and reply message (system messages such as join notices, boosts and pins are not counted), every voice session, and every join and leave. Bot accounts are skipped by default.

Run the setup wizard. Open Analytics in the dashboard. Until the wizard has run, the Home page sends managers to the Setup page. "Run setup" creates a private #analytics-alerts channel (or reuses a text channel with "analytics" in its name), saves the defaults with bots excluded, creates an "Activity Drop Warning" alert that fires when messages drop 30% against the previous week, and starts an import of up to 365 days of message history. The import walks every text channel, its active and public archived threads and its forum posts, counts only regular and reply messages, and records a join for each current member on the day they joined. Progress shows under History on the Settings page. Channels excluded before the wizard runs are left out of the import, so set exclusions first if some channels must stay out. You can re-run the wizard later.

Decide what not to count. On the Analytics Settings page, under What counts, keep Leave bots out on (recommended). Under Channels and roles to leave out, pick Channels to leave out; threads and forum posts inside them are left out too. Pick Roles to leave out; members currently holding one are left out, and a role change is picked up within half an hour. Exclusions stop new recording and hide those channels and members from the server-wide numbers. A member's own card still shows what was recorded before.

Check the timezone and how long data is kept. Time zone defaults to "Follow the server time zone", which is set on the Bot settings page; pick a zone here only when Analytics should differ from it. Keep data for offers 30, 90, 180 or 365 days (90 to start); the page marks the choices above your plan's cap. Detail older than the window is removed every night, and shortening the window deletes the difference at the next nightly run. Charts and rankings cannot look back further than this window.

Try the commands. /server posts a public overview card. /me posts your own stats card, with a button to hide it. /leaderboard ranks members by Messages, Voice Hours or Voice Sessions, and 0 days means all time. /top gives four ranked lists at once, or one ranking per page. /invites ranks who brought in the most members who are real and still here, privately unless a server manager sets post. /chart messages, /chart voice, /chart members, /chart channel and /chart member draw per-day charts over 7, 14, 30 or 90 days; they are private unless you set post to yes. /info server, /info user, /info role, /info channel, /info invite, /info emoji and /info avatar show what Discord itself knows about each.

Open the dashboards and style the cards. The Analytics menu has 11 pages in four groups: Home; Growth, Activity (with Chat, Voice, Online and Playing tabs), Best times, Channels and Members under Your server; Role rewards, Counters, Alerts and Sharing under Put it to work; and Settings under Housekeeping. A member, a channel, a day or an hour of the week opens in a side panel. The card designer, opened from the Sharing page, sets the colours, background image and sections of the stats card, holds the Stats cards on switch (turning it off also stops /stats, /me and /user), and has a leaderboard section for the /leaderboard defaults: metric, window, number of entries (5 to 25), time frames, medals, avatars, progress bars and your rank line.

Share numbers outside the dashboard. Who can open the dashboard, on the Sharing page, sets who can open the public stats page: Private ("The link is off. Nobody outside your dashboard sees these numbers.", the default), Members only, Role restricted or Public ("Anyone with the link. Members are never shown, only server totals."). The page lives at /a/ followed by your server id and has Overview, Messages, Voice and Members pages. Members share their own card with "Open & share" on /me and hide it with "Hide my card". Managers can see who hid their card and can reset every share link from the Sharing page; old links then stop working.

Reward activity with roles. On the Role rewards page, a reward gives a role when a member meets its conditions: a minimum or maximum on a metric such as messages, voice hours or voice sessions, a window in days (0 means all stored data), a top rank or top percent, or a minimum reached on at least so many days. Up to 8 conditions combine with all or any, and each reward runs on a schedule from every 10 minutes to once a day. The bot needs Manage Roles and its own role must sit above the reward role. All-time rewards on messages, voice hours and voice sessions use totals that data retention never removes.

Show live numbers in channel names. The Counters page, or /counter in Discord, turns a channel's name into a live number that the bot renames every 6 minutes when it changes. Quick setup (or /counter setup) makes a Server Stats category with All members, Members and Bots counters. Twenty kinds are on offer: members, members with a role, in voice, online or playing something (these two need the Presence intent), channels by type or category, roles, emojis, stickers, boosts and the boost level, bans (the bot needs Ban Members), members without a role or still in rules screening, Bluesky followers, players on a Minecraft, FiveM or Steam game server, a clock, a countdown and activity counts. Up to 4 fit in one name. A counter with a goal reads 1,204 / 2,000 and can post your message in a channel when it gets there, then raise the goal by a step. Every number can read 1,234, 1.2K or 1234. To reword a counter, rename the channel in Discord and keep a number in the name: the first number is the one the bot keeps updated. /counter check lists anything that stops a counter from updating.
