LogEye

About

LogEye is an IP/HWID tracking tool for Soldat that works with ARSSE/BakaAdmin/SoldatServer logs^*.

^* ARSSE dev. version 1.2.9 or newer

This application is similar to iFrag's ARSSE IP Tracker. In fact I started writting it before I saw iFrag's work :)

How does it work

It scans log files and creates a database file based on scanned items.

For further work it reads the database file created earlier, not the logs files.

Features

• Search by Player's IP, HWID, Name, Server, Date
• Search using glob patterns (wildcards)
• Update database files with unique entries only^*

^* You'd need to select an existing database file while saving scanning results and hit the "Update" button

Interface

Main window

Button	Description
1. "Open"	Open a saved database file
2. "Save"	Export search results as Txt or HTML*
3. "Scan"	Show the scanning menu (ARSSE/Baka Admin/SoldatServer)
4. "QuickUpdate"	Run the database QuickUpdate function
5. "Stop"	Stop the scanning process (enabled while scanning only)
6. "Settings"	Show the settings menu
7. "Help"	Show wildcards manual
8. "About"	Show application information

^* You could customize both Txt & HTML output formats in the settings file (LogEye.ini)

Update/Replace dialog

In case of saving a database file with the name of the existing one, you will be able to choose an action:

• "Update" - to update selected database file with the new unique entries from the log files
• "Replace" - to replace (rewrite) the file and create a new database

Servers dialog

You are able to change server names and exclude servers (folders) from scanning before the scanning process begins.

QuickUpdate settings dialog

QuickUpdate is an easy way to update your database with only one click. To set up the QuickUpdate options for the first time click on the "QuickUpdate" button or use "Settings" menu to access the options dialog again. You are able to set the default scanning path and the last update date^* for both ARSSE and SoldatServer logs.

^* Date automatically alters while updating

Note: As it's a "quick" update, you are not able to change server names and/or exclude some of them from scanning. For example: If you have logs from the same server in ARSSE and SoldatServer format and want them to auto-merge together with QuickUpdate, then folder names with log files of both types must be the same.

Wildcards manual

Wildcards can substitute for one or more characters when searching for data in a database. The following wildcards can be used:

Value	Description
*	Substitutes zero or more characters
?	Substitutes any one character
[charlist]	Substitutes one character from a group. A group can be a list of characters, e.g. [abcd], or a range of characters, e.g. [a-d] which is the same as [abcd]
[^charlist]	Substitutes any single character NOT in the group, e.g. [^a-zA-Z0-9] substitutes any character that is NOT alphanumeric

Tip: Use [charlist] to substitute *, ? and [ characters, e.g. [*] for *

Command line switches

/db <path>	Use to load the specified database on application startup
/upd	Use with the /db switch to update the loaded database
/ip <ip>	Use with the /db switch to search by IP
/hwid <hwid>	Use with the /db switch to search by HWID
/serv <server>	Use with the /db switch to search by Server
/date <date>	Use with the /db switch to search by Date
/silent	Use with the /upd switch to run database update in a silent mode, without the GUI
