When writing verbose stats plugins, is there a way to send log lines to logaddress and not write them to log files?

You can use Sockets. https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=67640

That is a decent workaround, thank you.

I strive to reduce the (external) dependencies as much as possible, and this would be a rather large one to add in. Besides, quite a bit of configuration would be required to hook up to logaddress. It's doable.

I'm still looking for alternatives, if any. Should nothing else work, this would be it.

Hmm, I found another method which is https://forums.alliedmods.net/showthread.php?t=152216. I don't know if there is any other method, but feel free everyone to tell me if there is.

Thank you both!

, that isn't feasible, I don't want to mess around with general server settings, I just want _my_ plugin to be silent (while all others may freely respect logging settings).

Given the frequency of outputs (e.g. every player_footstep and every weapon_fire are output to log), TCP is not feasible, either, so no websockets or curl. So far, either the `sockets` extension via UDP or explicitly documenting the plugin to warn in CAPSLOCK that it's extremely log verbose.

Edit: to clarify, I need lots of events in realtime to reproduce the gameplay in a webpage. Works, so far, but RIP logfiles.
