The Bot Activity Monitor (BAM) is a tool for monitoring activity of bots based on preset configurations of the bot tasks, and for operators to optionally receive notifications when their bots stop editing. This is currently maintained by SDZeroBot (see BRFA). See:

Bot task configuration parameters:

  • bot: Name of the bot account
  • task: Name of the bot task, used in the alerts and status table.
  • action: (Default: "edit") Type of action the bot does: "edit" or any log action such as "delete", "move", "patrol", etc. You also specify a sub-action such as "delete/revision" or "block/reblock". The value given must be acceptable to either the letype or leaction parameter of mw:API:Logevents (unless the value is "edit").
  • namespace: Namespace(s) where the bot edits. Specify the namespace numbers (see Help:Namespaces) separated by commas if multiple.
    • Common namespace numbers: 0 (article), 2 (user), 4 (Wikipedia), 6 (file), 10 (template), 14 (category), 118 (draft). For respective talk namespaces, add 1 to those numbers.
  • title: Title of the page where the bot edits. If it's not a single page, use |title_regex= instead.
  • title_regex: Regex matching page titles where the bot edits.
    • This should entirely match the full page title. Use .* for "any characters".
  • summary: Edit summary (or log summary) used. If this is not fixed, use |summary_regex= instead.
    • The exact edit summary. If the edit summary includes templates, please use summary_regex instead to prevent the templates from rendering on this page.
  • summary_regex: Regex matching edit summary (or log summary) used by the bot.
    • This regex must match the task's edit summary in entirety (not partially). You can use .* in the starting and end for partial matching. This choice may be revisited in the future.
    • If it includes templates, use \} checkY ClueBot III Archiving discussions checkY ClueBot NG Reverting vandalism checkY Community Tech bot Commons deletion notifications checkY Community Tech bot Updating reports checkY Cyberbot I Clearing WP:Sandbox checkY Cyberbot I RFPP clerking checkY DYKHousekeepingBot Updating DYK hook count ☒N 0 actions in last 6 hours, expected at least 1.
