Server statistics
Measure your server's pulse : on-demand activity charts with the
/chart command, plus counter channels that permanently display the community's key numbers.
By the Ganyu team Updated on
Activity charts
Ganyu continuously records three activity metrics per member and per hour: messages sent, time spent in voice and reactions added. The /chart command turns this data into a readable histogram right inside Discord, along with the top 5 most active members over the period.
With no options, /chart shows the server's messages over the last 7 days. Add a member to display only their own activity.
/chart [type] [period] [user] Generates the activity histogram. Aliases: /stats and /activity.
/chart type:voice period:30 Example: the server's total voice time over 30 days, with the leaderboard.
| Option | Values | Role |
|---|---|---|
| `type` | `messages`, `voice`, `reactions` | The metric to plot (default: messages). |
| `period` | `7`, `14`, `30` | The window in days (default: 7). |
| `user` | a member | Limits the chart to a specific member (optional). |
Tip — Voice time is shown in hours and minutes; messages and reactions are counted individually.
Statistics channels
From the Statistics tab of the The web dashboard, create voice channels whose name updates on its own to display a key number. You choose a host category, a separator, an emoji, a label and each channel's name template.
Four counter types are available: members, members online, server boosts, and a free custom value (static text of your choice).
- Members — the server's total member count.
- Online — members currently connected.
- Boosts — the server's number of Nitro boosts.
- Custom — a fixed value you define (e.g. a link, a motto).
Quotas and refresh rate
The number of counter channels depends on your tier: 5 on FREE, 15 on Premium and 50 on PRO.
Discord only allows a channel's name to be changed twice every 10 minutes. Counters therefore refresh at that pace rather than in real time: it's a limit imposed by Discord, not by Ganyu.
| Tier | Statistics channels |
|---|---|
| Free | 5 |
| Premium | 15 |
| PRO | 50 |
Frequently asked questions
Since when has activity been recorded?
Ganyu records activity (messages, voice, reactions) hour by hour as soon as it's present on the server. /chart can therefore only show data from after the bot joined.
Why does my counter channel show an outdated number?
Discord limits channel renames to twice per 10-minute window. A counter may therefore stay on a slightly dated value for a few minutes before its next update.
Can I see a single member's activity?
Yes: /chart type:messages user:@member limits the chart and the total to that member. The top 5 leaderboard is still calculated across the whole server.
The command returns "no data", why?
There was no activity recorded for the requested type and period. Try a wider period (14 or 30 days) or a different type.
Which metrics does Ganyu record?
Three, per member and per hour: messages sent, time spent in voice and reactions added. /chart renders that data as a histogram.
Which periods can I display?
The period option accepts 7, 14 or 30 days. With nothing specified, /chart shows the last 7 days.
Is there a shorter alias than /chart?
Yes, /stats and /activity trigger exactly the same command with the same options.
How many counter channels can I create?
5 on the free plan, 15 on Premium and 50 on PRO. The quota covers all of the server's counters, whatever their type.
Which counter types are available?
Four: total members, members online, the server's Nitro boosts, and a free custom value you define yourself.
Can I choose a counter channel's name?
Yes. From the Statistics tab of the The web dashboard, you set the parent category, the separator, the emoji, the label and the name template of every counter.
Does the chart include a ranking?
Yes, /chart pairs the histogram with the top 5 most active members for the requested period and metric.
