More metrics/statistics wanted

[CarBuilders]

Hi,

It would be nice to get more metrics/statistics on forum usage.

I am thinking of quota usage for attachments, we have set limits to different groups and it would be very nice to see if members are getting closer to the limits and potentially increase limits before they are hitting it.

Any proposals on how to do it?

I don't know if there are statistics on attachment usage, but if there is, it would be in the ACP > Statistics.

I cannot see anything about attachment usage.

Is it possible to write an event based plugin/application when a new post is made and send that to a 3:rd party analytics solution?

How to fetch such event from IPS?

You would need to write a plugin on \IPS\forums\Topic\Post class to overwrite the postCreate() method, most likely. This would be for all new posts, not just those with attachments (although you could check that in your plugin).
