SLOG - System/Node Statistics Log Viewer
The Synchronet slog utility prints the daily statistics history (logons, posts, e-mail, feedback, uploads, downloads, new users, etc.) recorded by Synchronet for either the system as a whole or for an individual node.
Slog is exec/slog on *nix and exec/slog.exe on Windows.
The same functionality is available as a JavaScript module exec/slog.js (run via jsexec).
Usage
usage: slog [-opt [...]] [path]
opts:
-p[rows] enable screen pause prompt
-d<days> specify maximum number of days
-t display totals
path specifies the directory containing the csts.tab statistics file. If omitted, the SBBSCTRL environment variable is used (the Synchronet ctrl directory). To view per-node statistics, pass the corresponding node directory as the path.
If the csts.tab file is not found at the resolved path, slog exits with an error.
Output Format
Each line begins with the date and a series of single-letter columns:
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
T | Total minutes online that day |
L | Logons |
P | Posts |
E | E-mails sent |
F | Feedback messages sent |
U | Upload bytes (estimated) / files |
D | Download bytes (estimated) / files |
N | New users created |
Example:
26/05/02 T: 73 L: 12 P: 5 E: 23 F: 7 U: 0M/0 D: 14G/39351 N:5 26/05/01 T: 37 L: 14 P: 3 E: 7 F: 3 U: 1M/2 D: 16G/79357 N:0
With -t, a ===TOTAL=== summary is appended showing aggregate Time, Logons, Posts, Email Sent, Feedbacks, New Users, Uploads, and Downloads across all displayed days.
The output may be redirected to a file for archival, e.g.:
slog > slog.txt
