Better history of user activity

[smidley 20]

I host an Emby server for a number of users and I like to be able to go back and see their activity.  This is currently very difficult.  I think it would be great if there was some kind of user history implemented.

I've been trying to do the same thing. Was trying to mine the server logs via Splunk to get that visualization and query flexibility but haven't gotten anything to work yet. 

 

Anyone have any other alternatives that wouldn't require as much work? My server is running 15+ users and I'd like to know watch/stream stats for these if possible. There are others talking about accessing the SQL database but not sure how to do this yet.

Took a bit of fiddling around with things. Also it's double counting views right now but I got something working on the limited log data that's there right now. Isn't that bad to set up, just an extra days work or so.

 

Would be really nice to have this integrated and have better log events to queue off of, but this will do for now. Also log events that show bitrate and amount streamed would be really useful to track bandwidth.

For posterity, the feature request I made awhile back

Really nice work on your splunk system!  It would be great to have something like this feature integrated so we would have to use splunk though.

Hey archangelz,

 

Any chance on you sharing your work with us? I would love to implement this.
