I would like to know the time period during which the customers have the highest number of visits.

You can do this with the [Discourse Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-data-explorer/32566) plugin.
I’m not quite clear what query you are looking for, though. You want a period of some hours that has the highest traffic? Maybe the existing graphs on the admin panel can help?

The [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) is the plugin for querying your site’s data if the dashboard reports don’t meet your needs. 👍
Unfortunately in this case, the time of visit isn’t recorded in the database so I don’t believe it’s possible to report on the busiest times of the day, if that’s what you’re intending.

In that case then a tool that consumes the nginx logs is what’s needed. They are in shared/logs/var-log/nginx if I can type and remember correctly, which is rather unlikely, but that’s the idea.
