Entity Network Monitor

Description

This plugin can display and log an entity's network activity. You just specify the entity you want to monitor, and the host player (that is, the receiver) and it will automatically start logging any data that's sent to him (actually only ES_ and CD_ constants).

This can help in analyzing how much bandwidth your custom entities are using up, or if you want to know how a particular property behaves under certain conditions.

There is also a verbose mode to show detailed names for some properties, e.g. ES_Flags: 8 (FL_CLIENT) --> 32784 (FL_INWATER | FL_SWIM) (this is a bit more CPU expensive though).

Installation

• Extract .amxx file to your plugins folder, and add its name to plugins.ini

Commands

• enm_output_mode <0/1/2/3> - Set output mode for data:
  0 - Disabled
  1 - Print to Server Console
  2 - Log to AMXX Logs
  3 - Log to Custom Logs File (default)
• enm_entity_filter <entity id> - Set entity filter.
• enm_host_filter <host id> - Set host filter.
• enm_verbose <0/1> - Toggle verbose mode on/off.

This is nice. I've done something similar for testing lately but when I look at this much more advanced thing I think I have to use your version the next time. Mine was just crappy compared to this ;D


/edit:
@prabalgarina:
This plugin monitors and logs all values that are updated in the AddToFullPack and UpdateClientData forwards and therefore provides in-depth information about the correlation between two chosen entities. It is (only) useful for testing purposes.

Nice job.

Just a suggestion, to replace log_to_file native, have a look at shptools plugin, the log system is works flawlessly compared to log_tofile.
When i log things on my listenserver, with log_to_file i notice a lag or fps decrease, with the replacement i don't feel anything.

Just in case you don't know the plugin : http://forums.space-headed.net/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=111

Yeah, I had that problem when I ran my dedicated server too. Thanks for the link!
