Feature-Request: Create possibility to create Statistics from Logfiles or Journal

[zeus86]

Not really a core-feature here, but I think it would be nice to have a proper way to directly create statistics from logentries, like how many clients per timeframe or connected time per client / average and so on. At the end of the day it's these numbers which represent the fun in hosting a service like this :-)

Maybe this is somewhat out of scope, but maybe easier would be an additional log-entry at info-level after a client has disconnected including a consecutive ID like so:

# date     time     loglv    service              id     ip         port   state/notice
2021-03-24 16:26:23 INFO     TarpitServer: Client (4567, '1.2.3.4', 60216) connected
2021-03-24 16:36:31 INFO     TarpitServer: Client (4567, '1.2.3.4', 60216) disconnected
2021-03-24 16:36:31 INFO     TarpitServer: Client (4567, '1.2.3.4', 60216) duration: 608s (...or human readable)

cheers,

Take a look at PR #3

I guess it implemented roughly what you are talking about. But, of course, there is always much to improve.

Uhm, yes, did not look at this. You're right. The primary goal would be to be able to parse logs and generate statistics from it, the precise way would not matter that much (anyways, I think a summarized time as well as an assigned ID/reference/hash in the log-message would make this alot easier xD ).
