Hello Discourse community!

My team has a variety of queries running using the Discourse Data Plugin, which is great! That being said, I am wondering if there is a way to get our forum traffic data from the Admin section exported into Orbit so that we can analyze it better?

In particular, I’d love to get more fine grained detail on the following:

  1. Tracking forum data/posts/signups before/after a certain date
  2. Querying if a user is active across all three of our three Discourse forums, rather than just one
  3. How many people are signing up pre/post a certain date range
  4. Most active time of day on each forum

Thank you so much for any help you can provide!
