Is there a plugin that would create a log file every day, and save all connected players' ID3 tags to a txt file in "cstrike/addons/sourcemod/logs/" along with their names?
Maybe there's a function like this built into SM by default?

I'd like to have a log that looks something like this:

10/18/2018 - 16:25:02: [id3logger.smx] LOLYOU[U:1:85535XXXX]><> has connected to the server.
10/18/2018 - 17:10:00: [id3logger.smx] LOLYOU[U:1:85535XXXX]><> has disconnected from the server.

I first thought about asking for help on how to make cannounce display ID3 tags instead of old STEAM IDs in the chat, and print them to the console as well...but later figured that a log file like this would be a better solution.
I want to retroactively ban cheaters (copy their id3's into banned_user.cfg) who have been spotted by regular players on the server, but disconnected before an admin could be there and ban them.

Thanks for all replies in advance!

Do you have VIPs on your Server?

If so, then give them the ability to warn?
We are using this for it:

If players are warned they get logged and you can easily ban them. Or you can set this Plugin to do it for you. Another approach would be a report system:

Thank you for the suggestions, but I really don't need all of the extra functionality those plugins bring...
What I want is really simple, I just don't know how to code...

I took the logging idea from Afk manager, it's logs look like this:

L 10/18/2018 - 20:05:36: [afk_manager4.smx] 3xTaSy<34><[U:1:304690XXXX]><> has been moved to spectator because he was AFK.
L 10/18/2018 - 20:11:39: [afk_manager4.smx] Player count for AFK Kick minimum has been reached, feature is now enabled: sm_afk_kick_min_players = 6 Current Players = 6
L 10/18/2018 - 20:11:43: [afk_manager4.smx] AFK 3xTaSy<34><[U:1:304690XXXX]><> has been kicked.

I'd just like to have the same, with connects/disconnects as the events which are being logged.
This is a small server with a relatively small player base so it'd be manageable to sift thru a daily log.

Why do you need ID3? Can't you just convert the steamid with https://steamid.io

and use something like this?

Try to make a request here. It should not be that hard to alter the output of my suggested Plugin

First off, thanks for all your help.
I can't use converters, because many of these players are running non-steam clients, and as such, converters don't find the account associated with them.
(I allow nonsteam clients to play on the server... otherwise we wouldn't have like half the amount of active players)

So... I did a test with a non-steam guy, and when I banned him with the "sm_ban" command, using his (old style) STEAM ID, which cannounce prints in the chat, it worked.
His ID3 was written into banned_user.cfg.
The problem with this is that it doesn't work when the player you want to ban isn't connected, and even if it would work, it'd require somebody copying the alleged cheater's steam id and sending it to me via steam chat, discord or something.

The plugin you linked "Log Connections" is a godsent. Thank you. I'll make a request right away.
