Dashboard → your server → Anomaly Alerts. Once an hour the day's figures are held against the average of the days before, and a channel is told when one of them stands out.
- Scam detections: messages the scam filter acted on.
- Moderation actions: warns, kicks, bans, timeouts and mutes together.
- Members joined.
- Members left, were kicked or were banned.
- Messages sent across all channels.
- Messages deleted, bulk deletes included.
- Tickets opened.
- Slash commands run by members.
A server that has never saved these settings watches scam detections and moderation actions.
Threshold is how far above the average counts as unusual, as a percentage, from 5 to 1000. It starts at 50.
Window is how many days the average is taken over, from 2 to 30. It starts at 7. A day with no traffic counts as a zero in that average, because leaving it out would lift the average and hide the very spike you are looking for.
Minimum baseline is how much traffic there has to be before the percentage means anything, from 0 to 100000. It starts at 10. Without it, one going to three is a rise of 200 percent while nothing has happened.
Info
Both have to hold at once: the rise is at least the threshold, and the average itself is at least the minimum baseline.
The scan runs every hour. The same server is not alerted again within twelve hours, so one long spike does not arrive twelve times.
Today is not over when the scan runs, and that is deliberate. Half a day that already beats a whole day's average is a real anomaly. Missing something early in the day costs a few hours, because the next scan looks again.
The test button sends a message to your alert channel carrying this moment's real figures, not made-up ones, so you see both that the channel works and what a real alert would say. It needs a saved channel and at least one metric.
The page also shows the measured daily totals per metric. A threshold is guesswork without them: 50 percent means something different on a server with three moderation actions a week than on one with three hundred a day.
