[stattrack] See messages per channel as well

[Skyridr]

What cog is this feature request for?

stattrack

Describe the feature request in as much detail as possible

It's awesome you can see the amount of messages in the entire guild. But would it be possible to see it per channel as well? Such as:

[p]stattrack messages timespan [metrics = channel ID(s)]

eg:

[p]stattrack messages all 849473399213916190 818085665265680424 818085665265680424

So you can see the messages per channel, and have a number & channel overview in the metrics to see which channels are doing great and which ones barely have any activity rather than showing the numbers & time alone.

On reflection, I've decided to not add this to StatTrack. StatTrack tries to be as resource light as reasonably possible, and thinking about how many servers Red bots could be in and how many channels each server can have, I think that it could easily end badly. Dramatic increases in storage usage and also slower commands would happen on any bot with more than 10 channels due to how metrics they are internally stored and processed.

However, I will not close this issue. I think this could be a good idea for a standalone cog (say ChannelTracker?) which I will probably make at some point.

That's a fair point. Appreciate it! Name sounds good :D.
