Description
An alternative to Dr. McKay's Player Analytics that logs much less identifiable information.
The following data is logged on initial connection, very simiilarly to Player Analytics (even uses the same table and column names)
- Server's IP
- Time
- Player Count (inclusive)
- Map
- Player's Country
- HTML motd status
The player's name, ID, IP, flags, duration in the server, city, premium status, and OS are
not logged.
The plugin also creates a new table called player_count which logs the player count whenever a connection/disconnection occurs. It's meant to be used for graphing player counts, such as in Grafana.
Conversion
A table of connections logged with Player Analytics can be easily converted for use with this plugin. Simply delete all but the following columns:
- id
- server_ip
- connect_time
- numplayers
- map
- country
- country_code
- country_code3
- html_motd_disabled
ConVars- sm_analytics_html - Whether or not to record if HTML motds are on or off. (Default: Off)
- sm_analytics_version - Plugin version.
Dependencies- [Optional] Updater - Automatic updates.
