BattleMetrics Web-Based RCON Tool- Ban Sync, Detailed Logs, Admin Logging


Recommended Posts

TL;DR: https://www.battlemetrics.com/rcon/about    A new web-based RCON tool that allows you to maintain a persistent connection to your server. Tracks players and admins so you can watch your community and staff. Many features to come.

 

Hello everyone,

The RCON tools available for ARK are usually free desktop clients that give you some ability to run/monitor your server, but are often limited in what they can do and where you can take them. BattleMetrics is here to solve that problem. Our system maintains a constant RCON connection to your server, saving player information, chat logs, and administration logs so that you don't have to go scrounging when you want to find out what happened on your server while you were away.

 

Currently we support BOTH getchat and -servergamelog as RCON options. Note, however, that -servergamelog can cause instability in servers.

(Note: with getchat, only one RCON connection can be active at a time. With our system, this is no problem. All of your admins will share the same connection through our server. You'll never lose chat logs again.)

 

Here are a few of our key features:

Staff Permissions & Security

There's no need to hand out passwords to your staff anymore. In addition, you can limit what they can do. New staff member that you don't quite trust? Give them permission to issue bans up to 3 days long or whatever you want. We've made permissions and staff roles fully customizable.

Player Logs

We track players based on name, Steam ID, IP, and GUID. We cross-reference these identifiers against other players in our database. When you go to view a player profile, you can see if they've joined under a different name, IP, etc. You'll also get to see what other servers we've seen that player on before. On the server information screen, we flag first-time players with a star next to their name.

The player profile will also show if that player has ever been kicked or banned from the server before, easily allowing you to keep up with repeat offenders.

Ban Syncing

We allow you to group your servers into organizations and then issue organization-wide bans. The bans are in our system so you can easily see and keep track of your ban list. You can store more information, detailed notes, and prevent a player from joining any of your servers at the click of a button. We also support exporting ban lists so that you can have backups if need be.

Administration Log

See a detailed history of what your staff has been up to. It has never been easier to see if your staff are using their powers responsibly.

Mobile

Since this is a web-based RCON tool, you can access and administer your server from anywhere.

Dashboard

We allow you to view all of your RCON-connected servers at once from our dashboard. You can issue most server commands and send messages to all your servers at once. You'll no longer need to keep multiple windows open to keep track of your server network.

Our Bans May Cause a Banned Player's Game to Freeze

Our system kicks banned players so quickly that they may never fully load into the server. Due to a bug or a feature with ARK, the player has to manually exit the program in order to attempt another connection.

Steam ID to GUID Conversion

For those of you with ArmA servers, you'll be able to tell who has been on both your ARK and ArmA servers.

In the not too distant future...

VAC ban detection

Risk assessment score for players (including auto-banning options for high-risk players)
