Analytics

Read your ticket analytics and turn support numbers into decisions.

Guide to Ticket Analytics

Analytics answers the questions you cannot answer by scrolling through Discord: is your team getting faster, which category eats the most time, and when do you actually need staff online.

Analytics Page

The full Analytics page is a premium feature. Free servers see a preview with an upgrade card — and a last 7 days activity and staff chart directly on the dashboard home page.

Open the Analytics

The Quick Stats

Four cards at the top summarise the current period, each with a trend compared to the previous one.

Quick Stats

CardWhat it tells you
Total TicketsYour support volume
Avg Response TimeHow long a member waits for the first answer
Avg ResolutionHow long a ticket lives from creation to close
Returning UsersHow many members come back with a new ticket

Avg Response Time is the number your members feel. Avg Resolution is the number your team feels. They are different problems and need different fixes.

The Charts

Most charts have their own time range selector: 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, quarters and yearly.

If a chart says Not enough data — Come back later…, there simply are not enough closed tickets in that range yet. Nothing is broken.

Reading the Numbers

Opened vs closed drift apart

Your Ticket Activity chart shows more opened than closed tickets several days in a row. That is a backlog forming.

What helps: more staff in the peak hours from Creation Patterns, a lower global open limit as an emergency brake, or auto-close scheduling for tickets that are actually done.

One category dominates

The Category Distribution chart is 60 % one topic.

What helps: that topic belongs in an FAQ, a pinned message or a step option that closes the ticket with a link to the answer.

Messages per ticket keep climbing

Every ticket needs more and more back and forth.

What helps: ticket steps. Ask for the version, the platform or the verified account before the conversation starts.

Returning rate is high

The same members keep coming back.

What helps: read a few transcripts of returning members. Either the answers are not sticking, or the same underlying bug keeps biting.

Everything is "Urgent"

Priority distribution shows almost only high and urgent tickets.

What helps: priority set by members is a wish, not a fact. Let LunAI classify tickets, and correct it with /ticket priority.

Ticket History

Next to the charts, Tickets → Ticket History lists the individual tickets behind the numbers, with a detail page per ticket.

Ticket History

Analytics tells you what changed. The history and the transcripts tell you why.
