Factorio Log Parser

A crude log parser for Factorio. Run this within a screen, or use the provided systemd example unit to monitor and parse your factorio log.

The script will output a status.json file containing the connected peers throughout the server sessions lifetime. (the list of peers will be reset every time the server/script is restarted).

While the script itself only provides the information it is up to you to use it in a creative way - for example by presenting the currently online peers on your server status page, or listing the most frequently re-connecting player this session?

Output (JSON)

The output file presents you with continous parsing result of the servers "current" state. Using this information we can see that since the server started, peer 3 desynced 6 times in short sequence - perhaps a temporary ban is in order? With both peer ip and port at hand you could easily parse this file and adjust your firewall rules to prevent peer 3 from reconnecting for a while.
