Statistics Tab
The Statistics tab shows what is on your server and how it gets read. Open it from Settings, under the admin section. Only admins can see it.
It has two tabs:
- Stats: your content and your readers
- Management: your files
Stats
Totals
The row at the top counts everything on the server, across all libraries. Hover over a number to see the exact count.
| Total | What it counts |
|---|---|
| Total Series | Series in all your libraries |
| Total Volumes | Volumes across those series |
| Total Files | Files Kavita has scanned |
| Total Size | Disk space those files use |
| Total Genres | Genres from your metadata |
| Total Tags | Tags from your metadata |
| Total People | Writers, artists, characters and everyone else credited in your metadata |
| Total Read Time | Time spent reading on the server |
Large genre, tag and people counts are shortened, so 1,200 genres shows as 1.2K Genres.
Popular lists
Below the totals are ranked lists. They always cover the whole server: the library and time picker further down does not change them.
| List | What it ranks |
|---|---|
| Popular Series | Series by number of reads. Click one to open it |
| Most Read Reading Lists | Reading lists by number of readers. Click one to open it |
| Popular Decades | How many series were released in each decade. Click a decade to see its series |
| Popular Libraries | Libraries by number of reads |
| Popular Genres | Genres by how many series have them |
| Popular Tags | Tags by how many series have them |
| Writers, cover artists, characters and publishers | People by how many series they appear on. Click a name to open their page |
Readers and reading activity
The Explore line lets you narrow the next two sections. Click Kavita to pick specific libraries instead of all of them, and pick a time range beside it.
- Most Active Readers: the users who read the most in that range, with their total reading time and how many comics and books they read.
- Reading Activity: a chart of hours read over time, split by format. Choose a user to see only their reading, or keep All Users.
Management
The Management tab is about your files rather than your readers.
- Files added over time: a chart of how many files were added to the server on each date. Hover over a point to see the count, for example “On 3/14/2026, 120 files were added”.
- Format: your files grouped by extension and format, with the count and total size of each. Switch between a chart and a data table. Download Report saves the list of files for one extension.
- Publication Status: how many series have each publication status from their metadata, as a chart or a data table.
- Reading by Day: which days of the week your users read on.
A format of Not Classified means Kavita has not scanned those files since before v0.7. Run a forced scan from the library’s settings to classify them.
