# Best Practices
Learn the best practices for using Spywatcher effectively and responsibly to monitor and manage your Discord community.
## General Guidelines
### Respect User Privacy
**Principle: Transparency First**
Always be transparent with your community about monitoring:
```markdown
# Example Server Rules Section
🔍 **Server Monitoring**
This server uses Spywatcher for analytics and security:
- We track presence and activity patterns
- Message counts are recorded (not content)
- Data is used to improve server management
- All data is stored securely and privately
- Users can request data deletion
```
**What to Do:**
- ✅ Inform users about monitoring in server rules
- ✅ Provide a privacy policy
- ✅ Allow users to opt out or request data deletion
- ✅ Use data only for legitimate server management
- ✅ Protect user data with appropriate security measures
**What NOT to Do:**
- ❌ Monitor without user knowledge
- ❌ Share user data with third parties without consent
- ❌ Use data for harassment or discrimination
- ❌ Collect more data than necessary
- ❌ Keep data longer than needed
### Set Appropriate Permissions
**Principle: Least Privilege**
Grant Spywatcher access only to those who need it:
```javascript
// Recommended Permission Structure
{
"Roles": {
"Server Owner": "Full Access",
"Administrators": "Full Access",
"Senior Moderators": "View + Export",
"Moderators": "View Only",
"Everyone Else": "No Access"
}
}
```
**Permission Levels:**
1. **View Only**
- See dashboard and analytics
- Cannot modify settings
- Cannot ban users
- Cannot export data
2. **View + Export**
- View only permissions
- Export reports
- Create custom filters
- Save dashboard layouts
3. **Full Access**
- All view permissions
- Modify settings
- Manage bans
- Configure alerts
- Manage other users
### Regular Data Audits
**Principle: Data Minimization**
Regularly review and clean up unnecessary data:
**Monthly Tasks:**
- Review data retention settings
- Archive old, unused data
- Check for anomalies in data collection
- Verify compliance with privacy policies
**Quarterly Tasks:**
- Audit user access permissions
- Review and update privacy notices
- Clean up old exports and reports
- Update security configurations
**Annually:**
- Complete security assessment
- Review all stored data
- Update terms and privacy policy
- Training for moderators on proper use
## Analytics Best Practices
### Understanding Your Data
**Start with Questions**
Before diving into analytics, define what you want to learn:
Good Questions:
- "When are users most active?"
- "Which channels have the most engagement?"
- "Are new members sticking around?"
- "What's our member growth rate?"
- "Which roles are most active?"
**Avoid Analysis Paralysis**
Focus on actionable insights:
```javascript
// Good: Actionable insight
"Peak activity is 8-10 PM EST"
→ Action: Schedule events at 8 PM EST
// Bad: Interesting but not actionable
"User #12345 was online 47.3% of the time last week"
→ Action: ??? (not clear what to do)
```
### Interpreting Metrics Correctly
**Context Matters**
Always consider context when interpreting data:
| Metric | Good Context | Bad Context |
|--------|--------------|-------------|
| **Low Activity** | Off-peak hours (expected) | Prime time (investigate) |
| **High Ghost Count** | New server (normal) | Established server (concern) |
| **Suspicion Spike** | Raid or bot attack | Individual user behavior |
**Avoid Common Mistakes:**
1. **Correlation ≠ Causation**
- Just because two metrics change together doesn't mean one causes the other
- Look for actual causal relationships
2. **Sample Size Matters**
- Don't draw conclusions from small datasets
- Wait for sufficient data (at least 30 days recommended)
3. **Consider Seasonality**
- Activity varies by day of week
- Consider holidays and events
- Account for school schedules, work cycles
### Acting on Insights
**Data-Driven Decisions**
Use analytics to inform your actions:
**Example 1: Optimal Event Timing**
```
Analysis: Heatmap shows peak activity 8-10 PM EST
Action: Schedule weekly events at 8:30 PM EST
Measure: Track event attendance over 4 weeks
Result: 40% increase in participation
```
**Example 2: Channel Optimization**
```
Analysis: 3 channels have <1% of total messages
Action: Archive or consolidate underused channels
Measure: Overall channel engagement rate
Result: Increased engagement in remaining channels
```
**Example 3: Role Balancing**
```
Analysis: 80% of users have default role only
Action: Create pathway for role progression
Measure: Role distribution over time
Result: More balanced role hierarchy
```
## Security Best Practices
### Ghost Detection
**When to Investigate:**
Investigate users with:
- High presence time but zero messages (30+ days)
- Only online during unusual hours (3-6 AM consistently)
- Multiple simultaneous clients without explanation
- Suspicious naming patterns
- Recently created accounts with high presence
**Investigation Process:**
1. **Review Timeline**
- Check presence patterns
- Look for activity spikes
- Note unusual patterns
2. **Cross-Reference Data**
- Compare with other ghost accounts
- Check for coordinated activity
- Review join date and invite source
3. **Take Appropriate Action**
- False Positive: Clear and whitelist
- Legitimate Lurker: Monitor but allow
- Suspicious: Investigate further or ban
- Bot Account: Ban immediately
**Avoid False Positives:**
Some legitimate users may appear as ghosts:
- Timezone differences (different active hours)
- Voice-only users (don't send messages)
- Mobile users (different presence patterns)
- Busy/shy users (observe but rarely participate)
### Suspicion Scores
**Score Thresholds:**
Recommended action thresholds:
```javascript
const actions = {
0-40: "No action needed",
41-60: "Monitor for patterns",
61-75: "Investigate within 48 hours",
76-90: "Investigate immediately",
91-100: "Take immediate action"
};
```
**Investigation Workflow:**
```
High Suspicion Score Detected
↓
Review User Timeline
↓
Check Contributing Factors
↓
Is it suspicious? ───Yes──→ Take Action
↓ ↓
No Ban/Warn/Monitor
↓
Clear Alert & Whitelist
```
**Common False Positives:**
- VPN users (IP changes)
- Travelers (timezone changes)
- Device upgrades (client changes)
- Network issues (rapid reconnects)
- Legitimate power users (high activity)
### Ban Management
**Before Banning:**
1. **Gather Evidence**
- Screenshots of behavior
- Timeline analysis
- Suspicion score factors
- Other moderator observations
2. **Document Reason**
- Clear policy violation
- Specific incidents
- Attempts at resolution
- Escalation path followed
3. **Consider Alternatives**
- Warning (first offense)
- Temporary mute
- Role restriction
- Probation period
**After Banning:**
1. **Document the Ban**
```json
{
"user_id": "123456789",
"banned_by": "Moderator Name",
"reason": "Automated spam bot",
"evidence": [
"Suspicion score: 95",
"1000+ messages in 1 hour",
"Identical message content"
],
"date": "2024-01-15",
"appeal_eligible": false
}
```
2. **Monitor for Patterns**
- Are similar accounts appearing?
- Is this part of a larger attack?
- Do policies need updating?
3. **Review Process**
- Was the ban justified?
- What can be improved?
- Update procedures if needed
## Performance Optimization
### Dashboard Loading
**Optimize for Speed:**
1. **Use Appropriate Date Ranges**
```
Good:
- Last 7 days for daily monitoring
- Last 30 days for trend analysis
- Last 90 days for quarterly reviews
Avoid:
- "All time" for daily use (slow)
- Very specific small ranges (noisy data)
```
2. **Enable Caching**
```bash
# Backend .env
ENABLE_CACHING=true
CACHE_TTL=300 # 5 minutes
```
3. **Limit Concurrent Requests**
- Load one dashboard section at a time
- Use pagination for large lists
- Defer loading of non-critical data
### Data Management
**Keep Your Database Healthy:**
**Weekly:**
```bash
# Vacuum and analyze
npm run db:vacuum
# Check database size
npm run db:size
```
**Monthly:**
```bash
# Archive old data (>90 days)
npm run archive:old-data
# Rebuild indexes
npm run db:reindex
# Update statistics
npm run db:analyze
```
**Quarterly:**
```bash
# Full backup before maintenance
npm run db:backup
# Optimize tables
npm run db:optimize
# Clean up orphaned data
npm run db:cleanup
```
### Resource Monitoring
**Set Up Alerts:**
```yaml
alerts:
- name: High CPU
condition: cpu > 80%
duration: 5 minutes
action: alert_admins
- name: Low Memory
condition: memory < 10%
duration: 1 minute
action: restart_service
- name: Database Full
condition: disk > 90%
duration: immediate
action: critical_alert
- name: Bot Offline
condition: bot_status == offline
duration: 1 minute
action: restart_bot
```
**Monitor Key Metrics:**
- CPU usage
- Memory usage
- Disk space
- Database connections
- API response times
- Error rates
- Bot uptime
## Community Management
### Using Analytics for Growth
**Track Key Metrics:**
1. **Growth Metrics**
- New members per week
- Member retention rate (30/60/90 day)
- Active user percentage
- Message growth rate
2. **Engagement Metrics**
- Messages per user per day
- Active channels ratio
- Voice chat participation
- Event attendance
3. **Health Metrics**
- Ghost account percentage
- Average suspicion score
- Ban rate
- Dispute rate
### Improving Engagement
**Data-Driven Strategies:**
1. **Identify Peak Times**
```
Use heatmap to find when most users are online
→ Schedule events and announcements accordingly
→ Ensure moderators are available during peaks
```
2. **Find Popular Content**
```
Analyze which channels have most activity
→ Create more channels with similar themes
→ Promote successful content types

## Features
### What is ghost detection?
Ghost detection identifies users who are frequently online but rarely participate. See [Ghost Detection Guide](./ghost-detection).
Ghost detection is an algorithm that identifies users who are frequently online but rarely participate in the community.
**Detection criteria:**
- High presence time (online often)
- Low message count (rarely talks)
- Minimal engagement (no reactions, mentions)
- Suspicious patterns (unusual hours, client types)
**Why it matters:**
- Identify potential bot accounts
- Find inactive members
- Detect surveillance accounts
- Optimize community engagement
**How to use it:**
1. Navigate to Analytics → Ghost Detection
2. Review the list of detected ghosts
3. Click on a user for detailed analysis
4. Take appropriate action (monitor, contact, or ban)
See the complete [Ghost Detection Guide](./ghost-detection) for advanced usage.
### How are suspicion scores calculated?
Suspicion scores use multiple factors including presence patterns, message activity, and behavioral changes. See [Suspicion Scores](./suspicion-scores).
Suspicion scores (0-100) are calculated using a weighted algorithm that considers:
**Score Components:**
- **Activity Anomalies** (25%): Unusual patterns compared to baseline
- **Client Behavior** (20%): Suspicious device/client combinations
- **Presence Patterns** (20%): Irregular online/offline cycles
- **Interaction Metrics** (20%): Message and engagement patterns
- **Historical Changes** (15%): Sudden behavioral shifts
**Score Interpretation:**
- 0-20: Normal behavior (green)
- 21-40: Minor anomalies (yellow)
- 41-60: Moderate concern (orange)
- 61-80: High suspicion (red)
- 81-100: Critical risk (dark red)
**What influences scores:**
- ✅ Multi-client logins
- ✅ Unusual activity times
- ✅ Rapid presence changes
- ✅ Message pattern changes
- ✅ Role privilege escalation
See [Suspicion Scores Guide](./suspicion-scores) for detailed methodology.

# Using psql
psql "$DATABASE_URL"
# Using curl (if PostgREST available)
curl -I "$DATABASE_URL"
```
4. **Verify Database Exists**
```bash
# List databases
psql -U postgres -l
# Create database if missing
createdb -U postgres spywatcher
```
5. **Check User Permissions**
```sql
-- Connect as postgres user
psql -U postgres
-- Grant permissions
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE spywatcher TO spywatcher;
GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO spywatcher;
```
6. **Run Migrations**

```bash
# Test backend health
curl http://localhost:3001/api/health
# Expected response: {"status":"ok"}
```
2. **Verify Frontend Configuration**
```bash
# frontend/.env should have
VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/api
VITE_DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
```
3. **Check Browser Console**
- Open Developer Tools (F12)
- Go to Console tab
- Look for error messages
- Common issues:
- Network errors

-X OPTIONS \
http://localhost:3001/api/health -v
```
5. **Verify Ports**
```bash
# Check if ports are in use
lsof -i :3001 # Backend
lsof -i :5173 # Frontend
# Or
netstat -tuln | grep -E '3001|5173'
```
**Solutions:**
1. Verify backend is running on correct port
2. Check `VITE_API_URL` in frontend `.env`
3. Ensure no CORS issues
4. Check browser developer console for errors
1. **CORS Errors**
```bash
# Add to backend/.env
CORS_ORIGINS=http://localhost:5173,http://127.0.0.1:5173
```
2. **Wrong API URL**

# frontend/.env
VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/api # Include /api path
```
3. **Clear Cache**
```bash
# Clear browser cache
Ctrl+Shift+Delete (Chrome/Firefox)
# Or clear Vite cache
rm -rf frontend/node_modules/.vite
```
## Authentication Issues
### OAuth Fails
### OAuth Authentication Fails
**Symptoms:** Can't log in with Discord
**Symptoms:**
- Can't log in with Discord
- Redirect loop after authorization
- "Invalid OAuth2 state" errors
- "Redirect URI mismatch" errors
**Diagnostic Steps:**
1. **Verify OAuth2 Configuration**
- Discord Developer Portal → OAuth2
- Check Redirect URIs match exactly:
- `http://localhost:5173/auth/callback` (development)
- `https://yourdomain.com/auth/callback` (production)
2. **Check Environment Variables**
```bash
# Backend .env
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id
DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET=your_client_secret
DISCORD_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:5173/auth/callback
# Frontend .env
VITE_DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id # Must match backend
```
3. **Test OAuth Flow**
```bash
# Generate OAuth URL
https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID&redirect_uri=http://localhost:5173/auth/callback&response_type=code&scope=identify%20guilds
```
4. **Check Backend Logs**
```bash
docker-compose logs backend | grep -i "oauth\|auth"
```
**Solutions:**
1. Verify Discord OAuth2 credentials
2. Check redirect URI matches configuration
3. Clear browser cookies and cache
4. Try different browser
5. Check Discord OAuth2 settings
1. **Redirect URI Mismatch**
- Ensure DISCORD_REDIRECT_URI in `.env` matches Discord Developer Portal exactly
- Include protocol (http/https)
- Check for trailing slashes
- Port must match (5173 for dev)
2. **Invalid Client Secret**
- Regenerate secret in Discord Developer Portal
- Update in backend `.env`
- Restart backend service
3. **Clear Session**
```bash
# Clear browser cookies for localhost
# Or use incognito/private mode
```
4. **Check JWT Configuration**
```bash
# Backend .env - must be 32+ characters
JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
JWT_REFRESH_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
```
### Session Expired
**Symptoms:**
- Logged out unexpectedly
- "Token expired" errors
- Need to re-authenticate frequently
**Solutions:**
1. **Extend Token Expiration**
```bash
# Backend .env
JWT_ACCESS_EXPIRES_IN=1h # Default: 15m
JWT_REFRESH_EXPIRES_IN=30d # Default: 7d
```
2. **Enable Refresh Tokens**
- Frontend automatically refreshes tokens
- Check browser console for refresh errors
- Verify refresh endpoint: `POST /api/auth/refresh`
3. **Check System Time**
```bash
# Ensure system time is correct
date
timedatectl status
# Sync time if needed
sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org
```
