aa-captrack 1.0.9b10

Capital ship movement early warning plugin for AllianceAuth

aa-captrack

AllianceAuth plugin for tracking and alerting on capital ship activity (and other configured ship groups) across characters/accounts, with an operational dashboard, snoozing, and Discord notifications.

Version: v1.0.9b10
Status: Pre-release (beta)

---

What’s new in v1.0.9b10 (highlights)

• Corptools 3.x / eve_sde compatibility (b8 target)

  • Updated lookups for Type/Group and Region ID fields under the SDE-backed schema.
  • Watchlist asset refresh updated for Corptools 3.x task API changes (signature-safe enqueue + b7 single-character update_char_assets support).

• Move region blacklist to SDE

  • “Blacklisted Regions” now uses eve_sde.Region (instead of EveUniverse/legacy region models) so region search/autocomplete works on SDE-backed installs.

• Dashboard UX improvements

  • Card header includes Main + Corporation + Alliance names and logos.
  • Audit button links to Corptools audit: /audit/r/<character_id>/account/overview
  • Snooze All controls per card (1h / 6h / 24h / ∞ / clear)
  • Infinite snooze option (until cleared)

• Discord improvements

  • Optional role and/or user mentions for alerts (safe allowed_mentions usage)

  If running AllianceAuth V5.0.0a4 you will need to downgrade django-esi to django-esi==8.3.1 to avoid compatibility issues with Corptools 3.x (which requires django-esi 8.3.1). This is a temporary measure until Corptools supports django-esi 9.x.

Overview

aa-captrack monitors capital ship activity (and other configured ship groups) using Corptools asset/audit data, presenting:

• Real-time dashboard visibility grouped by main
• Threshold-based alerting (per ship class/group)
• Discord webhook notifications (critical and standard)
• Per-pilot snoozing + Snooze All
• Clean separation between Critical, Alerting, and Informational states

The plugin prioritises operational clarity and avoids unnecessary alert noise.

---

Capital Tracking Logic

Ship Class	Behavior
Titans	Always alerting
Supercarriers	Always alerting
Dreadnoughts	Alert when ≥ threshold (default: 5) under same main
Lancer Dreads	Alert when ≥ threshold
Carriers	Alert when ≥ threshold
Force Auxiliaries	Alert when ≥ threshold
Capital Industrials	Tracked only (no alerts)

Threshold logic is applied consistently across:

• Dashboard
• Discord alerts
• Background tasks

Notes:

• “Capital Industrials” are tracked for visibility but do not generate alerts by default.
• Group IDs and thresholds are configurable in Admin.

---

Dashboard

• Collapsible cards with rotating chevrons
• Card header shows:
  • Main (character) name
  • Corporation name + logo
  • Alliance name + logo (if present)
  • Audit button (Corptools audit link)
  • Snooze All controls
  • Status badge (Critical/Alerting/Info)
• Clear separation of:
  • Critical
  • Alerting
  • Informational
• Optional display of unclassified ships
• Configurable refresh interval
• Optional remembered collapse state per user

Audit button format

Audit link for a main character uses Corptools’ route format:

/audit/r/<main_character_id>/account/overview

Example:

/audit/r/2114270226/account/overview

---

Snoozing

• Snoozing is per pilot (by design)
• Supports multiple durations (e.g. 1h / 6h / 24h)
• ∞ (Infinite) snooze supported (until cleared)
• Snooze All applies a duration to all pilots listed in the card
• Snoozed pilots are excluded from:
  • Dashboard alerts
  • Discord notifications

---

Discord Integration

• Alerts include only alerting ships
• Separate webhooks for:
  • Critical alerts
  • Standard alerts
• Optional mention support:
  • Role mention: <@&ROLE_ID>
  • User mention: <@USER_ID>
• Uses allowed_mentions to ensure only configured mentions are allowed (prevents accidental @everyone/@here).

Installation

Requirements

• AllianceAuth: 4.13+ (v4.x supported; v5 migration path is the motivation for this beta)
• Django: 4.2+
• Corptools: 3.0.0b7 (or compatible 3.x beta)
• Database: MySQL/MariaDB recommended

If you are running Corptools 3.x, you also need the SDE stack working:

• eve_sde installed and in INSTALLED_APPS
• modeltranslation installed and first in INSTALLED_APPS
• SDE data synced using: python manage.py esde_load_sde

Install the plugin

pip install aa-captrack==1.0.9b4

Add to INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS += [
    "captrack",
]

If you are on Corptools 3.x + eve_sde:

• Ensure modeltranslation is first in INSTALLED_APPS
• Ensure eve_sde is present in INSTALLED_APPS

Migrate + collect static

python manage.py migrate captrack
python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

Restart services

Restart AllianceAuth web and celery services.

---

Configuration

Configuration is managed via the AllianceAuth Admin Panel:

Admin → Captrack → CapTrack Settings

Only one settings row is expected.

Configurable options include

• Enabled / disabled state
• Tracked group IDs
• Industrial group IDs
• Alert thresholds per ship class/group
• Discord webhook URLs (critical + standard)
• Discord mention configuration (role IDs and/or user IDs)
• Dashboard behavior options
• Snooze durations / visibility preferences

---

Background tasks

CapTrack uses periodic tasks to refresh/watch data and drive alerts.
In v1.0.9b4, watchlist refresh was updated to handle Corptools 3.x task changes (celery-once signature validation, task name changes, and b7 single-character asset refresh).

---

Compatibility

AllianceAuth / Corptools

• AllianceAuth: 4.x (4.13+)
• Corptools: 3.0.0b7 (target), other 3.x betas may work

SDE / eve_sde

If you use Corptools 3.x (SDE-backed), ensure:

1. eve_sde and modeltranslation are installed
2. modeltranslation is first in INSTALLED_APPS
3. Run and schedule SDE sync:

python manage.py esde_load_sde

Corptools migrations may refuse to apply if eve_sde data is stale (>24h).

CapTrack’s Blacklisted Regions feature also uses eve_sde.Region, so SDE data must be present for region search/autocomplete.

---

Versioning policy

• v1.0.9b4: Beta/pre-release focusing on Corptools 3.x + SDE migration + region blacklist fixes
• Future versions will:
  • Avoid destructive migrations where possible
  • Prefer additive schema changes
  • Be tested against existing installs
