Ever wonder when your server is busiest, how much RAM your mods are eating, or exactly where your credits are going? The Analytics tab in Mission Control gives you a detailed look at how your server and community are performing over 24-hour, 7-day, and 30-day timeframes.

1. Community Growth and Activity

Running a server is all about building a community. We help you track player engagement with several key metrics:

Community Growth: Shows the number of unique players joining your world. If you've been promoting your server on Discord or Reddit, this is where you'll see those marketing efforts pay off!
Player Retention: Keeps track of how many players are brand new versus how many are returning regulars. A high retention rate means you're doing something right!
Average Session Length: Measures how long players stick around when they join. Are they logging in for 5 minutes or hanging out for 3 hours?
Peak Hours Heatmap: A visual calendar showing exactly which hours of the day (in UTC) your server has the highest traffic. Use this to plan events, drop new updates, or schedule maintenance when player counts are lowest.

2. Server Uptime and Activity States

Minecraft billing is based on active usage. The Uptime & Activity card categorizes your server's state over the selected period:

Active: The server is online and running with active players.
Idle: The server is online, but empty. (Remember to use Idle Auto-Stop to avoid wasting credits during idle periods!)
Offline: The server is shut down, costing you absolutely zero credits.

3. Resource Usage (Performance Health)

If you're running modpacks or massive redstone contraptions, hardware resource tracking is essential for keeping lag away. The Resource Usage charts update regularly:

CPU & Memory: Monitor processor and RAM usage. If memory is consistently capping out, you might need to upgrade your tier to prevent crashes.
Network Throughput: Tracks inbound and outbound traffic in Mbps. High outbound numbers indicate lots of players building or exploring new chunks.
Disk I/O: Shows disk read and write speeds. Very high disk usage can indicate heavy chunk loading (e.g., players flying with elytra). Check out our Chunk Pregeneration Guide to make this much smoother!

4. Credit Burn Tracker

No surprises, no hidden fees. The Credit Burn chart visualizes exactly how many credits you are spending day-by-day. It breaks down your runtime costs over the selected period, helping you plan your budget and verify the savings from setting up auto-stops or automated schedules.
