Strapi Insights

Analytics, KPIs, charts, and activity insights for your Strapi content.

strapi-plugin-insights adds a read-only analytics dashboard to the Strapi admin panel so content teams and developers can quickly understand collection growth, publishing state, and recent content activity.

Dashboard Preview

Features

• Dashboard KPIs for collection count, total entries, drafts, published entries, and recent content growth
• Collection-level analytics across all visible Strapi collection types
• Date range filter for 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, and all time

Installation

npm install strapi-plugin-insights

Enable the plugin in config/plugins.js or config/plugins.ts:

export default {
  'strapi-plugin-insights': {
    enabled: true,
  },
};

Rebuild and restart Strapi:

npm run build
npm run develop

After Strapi starts, open the admin panel and select Insights from the sidebar.

Requirements

• Strapi >=5.0.0
• React ^18.2.0
• Node version supported by your Strapi 5 project

What It Measures

The dashboard is generated dynamically from your Strapi content types and database records.

• Collections: visible collection types registered in Strapi
• Entries: total records per collection
• Created in range: records created in the selected dashboard range
• Updated today: records updated since the start of the current day
• Published: records with publishedAt when draft/publish is enabled
• Drafts: records without publishedAt when draft/publish is enabled
• Recent activity: latest updated entries across collections within the selected range

Privacy And Data

Strapi Insights reads metadata and counts from your local Strapi application. It does not send analytics data to any external service.

Current Limitations

• The dashboard is read-only.
• API traffic analytics are not tracked yet.
• User activity auditing is not tracked yet.
• Historical daily trend storage is not included yet; current charts use available collection metrics.

Roadmap

• Daily historical trend snapshots
• User activity and audit logs
• API usage insights
• Media library analytics
• Collection health score
• Custom KPI widgets

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm run verify

For local testing in a Strapi app:

npm install ./path-to/strapi-plugin-insights

Then enable the plugin in the Strapi app's config/plugins file.
