Understand your audience with analytics

You can't grow what you can't see. Nobex gives you a live pulse on the station Overview, listener trends over time, and — on the Business plan — a deep Advanced Analytics view covering geography, devices, peak times and retention. Here's how to read all of it.

Live stats on the Overview

Open a station's Overview and the top cards refresh on their own every few seconds. At a glance you can see whether you're on air and how busy you are:

• Current Listeners vs your plan cap, with a color-coded bar — it turns yellow at 80% and red at 95% so you know when you're near capacity.
• Online / Offline status plus the current bitrate in kbps.
• Bandwidth Usage (This Month) — your month-to-date GB against your cap, with a projection and the same 80% / 95% warnings.

Listeners over time

Below the live cards, the listener history chart plots concurrent listeners across a window you choose — 1h, 24h, 7d or 30d — and calls out the peak and average for that range. Shorter ranges refresh more often, so the 1-hour view is close to real time.

This is where patterns show up: the nightly bump when your regulars tune in, the spike after you shared a link, the quiet stretch that might be a better slot for maintenance than for a live show.

Advanced Analytics (Business plan)

Open Analytics from the station menu for the deeper view. Advanced Analytics is a Business-plan feature — on lower plans the page shows what's included and a one-click upgrade. Once unlocked, you get four lenses on your audience:

• Geographic Distribution — a ranked breakdown of listeners by country, with each country's share.
• Device Breakdown — how many listeners are on desktop, mobile and tablet.
• Peak Listening Times — average and peak listeners by hour of day, so you can see exactly when your audience is around.
• Retention Metrics — average session length, total sessions, and the percentage of returning listeners.

A date-range selector (last 7 / 30 / 90 days, or a custom range) scopes every chart, and Export CSV downloads the underlying numbers for your own spreadsheets or reports.

When the data starts flowing

Analytics is built from real listening activity, so a brand-new station starts empty. Data begins to accumulate once the station is active with an assigned node and real listeners connect — give it a few minutes after the first connections for the first snapshots to land. If a chart says there's no data yet, that's usually all it means.
