Your stats live in your own database. v1.0.0(today)00MITPHP ^8.3 Since Jul 23Compare [ Source](https://github.com/linkrobins/birdseye)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/linkrobins/birdseye)[ RSS](/packages/linkrobins-birdseye/feed)WikiDiscussions Synced today READMEChangelog (1)Dependencies (3)Versions (2)Used By (0) Link Robins Birdseye ==================== [](#link-robins-birdseye) Forum analytics for [Flarum](https://flarum.org) — captured server-side, with **zero JavaScript, no cookies, and no external tracker**. Your analytics history lives in **your own database** and stays there. How it works ------------ [](#how-it-works) The extension records events (page and discussion views, searches, posts, registrations) on the server as requests happen. Visitors are counted with a daily-rotating salted hash — no IP address is ever stored, no cookie is ever set, and nothing runs in your visitors' browsers. Events sit in a short-lived local buffer (72 hours max). Once a day, the buffer is rolled up into small per-day aggregate rows in your database — that's the permanent history, a few kilobytes per month. - **Without a license key**, rollups are computed locally and include basic daily counts: pageviews, visitors, posts, registrations. Nothing ever leaves your server. - **With a [Birdseye subscription](https://linkrobins.com/birdseye)**, the daily batch is sent to our processor, which computes the full picture — bounce rate, session length, top pages and discussions, referrer sources, devices, countries (world map included) — and returns the results to be stored **in your database**. We keep nothing. Cancel anytime; every stat you've collected stays with you. Beyond the numbers ------------------ [](#beyond-the-numbers) - **Forum health, not just traffic** — new-member activation (who posts within their first week), discussions that get read but never answered, top tags, live search terms, and a "today so far" strip straight from the buffer. - **Share the dashboard** — a `View forum analytics` permission lets any group you choose open the dashboard from their user menu, without admin access. Nobody holds it until you grant it. - **Weekly digest** — every Monday, administrators get a plain-text email summary of last week vs the week before. One switch to turn off. Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require linkrobins/birdseye ``` Enable it in the admin panel. That's it — stats begin collecting immediately. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - Flarum `^2.0`, PHP `^8.3` - The [scheduler](https://docs.flarum.org/scheduler) must be running for daily rollups (`php flarum schedule:run` via cron). Privacy notes ------------- [](#privacy-notes) - Visitor identity is `hash(secret + date + IP + user agent)`, truncated; the salt rotates daily so visitors cannot be tracked across days. - Country detection uses your proxy's country header (e.g. Cloudflare) when available. Otherwise, an **anonymized IP prefix** (/24 for IPv4, /48 for IPv6 — never the full address) is kept in the 72-hour buffer solely for country lookup during processing, then discarded. This can be disabled in settings, and no full IP is written to disk either way. - Bounce rate and visit duration are measured log-style (server-side), which runs slightly conservative compared to script-based trackers — the cost of shipping no JavaScript at all.
