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: 5.0.0+
• Django: 5.2+
• Corptools: 3.0.0+
• 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

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
