Server-Based Recursion Stat Tracker

[Exploding Fist]

That looks pretty cool.

If your objective is to learn some extremely relevant technology I'd suggest you look at logstash, elasticsearch, and kibana (ELK). I had a dedicated server pulling all every event from every PS2 server and storing data for Recursion for fairly long period of time with full indexing and adhoc queries. Was extremely useful for various internal analytics we were doing. Now you'd never want to expose the interfaces to the public directly, but instead front it with something else to securely query it to get the data you want. One basic but neat example is formulating a query that would show when servers went offline (this has a very unique pattern), then then query for all logins/logouts from that point forward and display by faction/server, and you now have extremely accurate player numbers by faction and server. I was considering at one point having this data made available to the stat tracker, but that is not likely to happen now.

Here is a basic example of it being used to show outfit stats for a specific op after the fact (we had far more detailed dashboards as well):
