Logscanner

From Rabbi Blog

The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.

I'll post more on the content later. I have released 2.1b this morning with one major advancement: use of an external config file. This will allow greater freedom in updating the core of the script and getting it out to beta users without having them re-write the variables everytime I have an update.

Two flavors are available: Compiled Exe and Perl.

Also, I have modified the missing.txt file so it prints the entire logline to the file if the scanner doesn't recognize it. Please send the missing.txt files when possible to rabbibob @ gmail.com. By design, the logscanner will not output RCON information of any type. In the future I will change it to mask the rcon_password, until then, nothing passes through.


I'm really interested in seeing logs with Mani and Beetlefart information (still waiting on a request posted at Beetle's forums here).

Users of amxmodx will want to edit their /addons/amxmodx/configs/core.ini file as follows:

Logging mode
0 - no logging
1 - one logfile / day
2 - one logfile / map
3 - HL Logs

amxx_logging 3

This will push the information into the normal HL log giving you admin events inline with playing events. The amxmodx guys were great in implementing this (read here).

I am still looking at the database addon for this. Unfortunately I need to learn more about db maintenance or else face the fact that I managed to fill the database with 8 months worth of fighting (8,000,000 records + were indexed before the db stopped accepting new inputs).

I may look to Sourceforge next to find someone interested enough in this project to help and if that goes through, I'll look at implementing a CVS for this.
