-
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 overview page sends managers to the Setup page. "Run Auto-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 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, keep Ignore bots on ("Yes (recommended)") or choose "Include Bots". Add Excluded channels; threads and forum posts inside them are excluded too. Add Excluded roles; 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. The Timezone defaults to "Follow server timezone", which is set on the Bot settings page; pick a zone here only when Analytics should differ from it. Data retention 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. /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
postto yes. -
Open the dashboards and style the cards. The Analytics pages in the dashboard are Overview, Messages, Voice, Channels, Members, Heatmap, Retention, Status, Activity, Leaderboard, Rewards, Alerts, Counters, Annotations, Settings and Setup. The Card Designer page sets the colours, background image and sections of the stats card, holds the "Public cards enabled" 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. The Sharing card on the Settings 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 Settings page; old links then stop working.
-
Reward activity with roles. On the Rewards page, a rule 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 rule 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 rules on messages, voice hours and voice sessions use totals that data retention never removes.
Analytics
Analytics counts what happens in your server, never what was said. Messages, voice, joins and leaves, and if you turn it on who is online and what members play, become trends, retention curves, leaderboards, charts you can call up in Discord and a stats card members can share. Role rewards, alerts and counter channels run on the same numbers.

- Log channel: analytics log
Como funciona
- Run setup. The wizard creates a private
#analytics-alertschannel, turns on bot exclusion, adds a starter activity-drop alert and imports up to 365 days of message history so the charts are not empty on day one. - Activity is counted. Every message, voice session, screen share, reaction, thread, join and leave is recorded as a count and rolled up by hour and day. Turn on status and activity tracking and the bot also counts who is online every 5 minutes and records what members play, stream or listen to. Message text is never stored.
- Read the dashboard. Overview, retention, messages, voice, members, channels, heatmaps, status and activity, a drill-down for any member or channel, or
/server,/topand/chartinside Discord. - Put the numbers to work. Role rewards grant roles when a member meets your conditions, alerts post to a channel when something changes, counter channels show live numbers in a channel name, and members share a stats card with
/statsor/me.
Permissions the bot needs
GeneratedThe invite link grants these. If one is missing the service page in the dashboard shows a re-grant banner, and the affected commands say what they cannot do instead of failing silently.
Every Analytics feature is included for every server, on the shared bot and on custom bots. A subscription adds a custom bot identity and marketplace access, not features here.

Everything it does
Messages
Volume, who drives it, where it happens and what it is made of.
Voice
Voice is tracked with the same care as text, including who talks to whom.
Members and retention
Whether people stay, and who is about to leave.
Channels
Which channels are alive, and which only look it.
Status and activity
Off by default, and only possible when your bot has the Presence intent.
Leaderboards, cards and charts
The parts members see.
/me and /user open the same card./top ranks members by messages or voice, channels by messages or voice, or shows all four at once, over 7, 14, 30 or 90 days. /server renders an overview card: members and how that changed, active members, messages and voice hours for 7 and 30 days, top channels and 30-day sparklines.Role rewards
Roles that members earn, granted and revoked without anyone watching.
Alerts and annotations
The dashboard comes to you when something changes.
Counter channels
Live numbers in a channel name.
{1} members, {2} online.Starboard
Off by default, and the one place content is copied.
Public dashboard, API and CSV
The numbers can leave the dashboard on your terms.
Filters
Applied when a page is read, never when an event is recorded, so a change reshapes every page at once.

What it watches
GeneratedThe Discord events Analytics reacts to while it is enabled. It does not read history from before it was turned on.
Safety
/chart channel refuses one they cannot see.What it does not do
- No XP or levels. Rewards are conditions, met or not.
- No sentiment, toxicity or AI summaries. Everything is counts.
- No alert for a general activity spike. The spike banner is on-page only; the alert types are drop, spam rate, activation, voice peak and dead channel.
- No scheduled digest posts, and CSV is a download from the page, not a scheduled delivery.
- No cross-server analytics. Every page, key and export is one server.
- No follower counters. A counter channel cannot show YouTube, Twitch or Kick follower counts.
- No status or activity page in
/chart. Status and activity live on the dashboard and in CSV. - No per-member data deletion inside the service. A member can hide their card, but their counts stay until the retention window removes them.
Perguntas
Does it read my members' messages?
No. It records that a message happened, who sent it, where and when, and what it contained in counts. The text is never stored. The only exception is a starboard repost, which you have to turn on.
How far back does it go?
Setup imports up to 365 days of message history the bot can read, and Settings can import 1 to 365 days later. After that, everything is recorded live and kept for the retention window you set.
Can members see their own stats?
Yes, with /stats or /me, or on the web at their personal stats page. Other members' pages need the viewer role, and a member can hide their card from everyone else with one button.
What does retention mean here?
A member counts as retained on day 7 if they were active on day 7 or any later day, per weekly join cohort. Cells stay pending until the cohort is old enough to know.
Can I reward active members automatically?
Yes. A role reward grants a role when up to 8 conditions on 15 metrics are met, with optional revoke, DM and a channel notice, on a schedule from every 10 minutes to once a day.
Will it count bots?
Not by default. Bot exclusion is on, and a re-scan tool flags historical rows from before a bot was recognised.
Does it track who is online?
Only if you turn status tracking on, and only when your bot has the Presence intent. It then counts online, idle, busy and offline members every 5 minutes as whole-server numbers.
Can I show the member count in a channel name?
Yes. A counter channel combines up to 4 counters, such as members, members online, members in voice or a countdown, and is renamed at most once every 6 minutes because of Discord's rename limit.
Can people outside the dashboard see the numbers?
If you let them. Open the read-only dashboard to members, to chosen roles or to everyone, hand a tool an API key, or download any page as CSV. None of those show a member's name.
Why does a chart show fewer days than I asked for?
/chart and /top are capped by your retention window, and the reply says how many days the server keeps.
