NidToolbox: IP Logger Module

NEW - if you would like to have your server logo appear in the notifications area in messages that come from NidToolbox. Please join my Discord and post them in #server-logos channel.

Provides ability to log Login and Logout events of your citizens, registering IP Address, time, date, steam ID, slg ID and more.

Support is provided as well as suggestions are accepted on my Discord here

 

Functionality

---

• Registers each event of login, logout (or both) of each citizen connecting to your server.
• Server owners may decide which events they want to monitor and where if at all to store the data.
• Allows for global IP history file, per user ones, or both.
• Enabling of the features can be done via in-game commands or through editing of the settings file.
• Target of the log can be set to server console, server log, NidToolbox log - none, some or all of these in any combination that suits the server owner.
• Ability to create a comma-delimited .csv file for administrators who like to export their server data to external tools for analytics.
• Can notify about players using same IP address.
• Possible to whitelist user or specific IP Address.
• Whitelist for players who are allowed to play from the same IP Address (won't trigger the notification for them).
