A way to analyze logs to see who's been watching what

Hey everyone.

I’ve been using Plex for a while now, and sharing my library with a few friends. I like being able to see who’s watching stuff when I’m thinking of it, but I’d also like to be able to see, easily, what everyone’s been watching, when, etc. Basically figure out which of my friends are using it the most so I can hold it over their heads so they buy me beer occasionally.

I’ve tried digging around online for anything that might do this, but I can’t find anything. Using search times like “analyze,” “logs,” and “plex” shows all sorts of unrelated stuff.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Not a thing and I need to bang something out myself?

That looks perfect! Should have been using a thesaurus with my search terms, “monitoring” didn’t even occur to me!
