Does Plex Media Server log IP addresses and device information to account names?

Plex Media Server
,
1

Server Version#: 1.20.3.3437
Player Version#: 5.2.1

Setup:

I have my media server and TV in the same room on the same network, it works!

Scenario (reason for the question):

A week ago I was a victim of a home invasion in which my TV was taken. My Plex account automatically signs in so I’m curious to see if login information like IP addresses gets logged so that I can try to give the police more information to go on. I only use my Plex account in my house on my network hence any foreign IP addresses (not from my ISP) would then be from whoever now has my TV…whether it be the thieves or someone who bought the TV from them.

IP adresses get logged, but you need to activate ‘debug’ logs on your server.
Do not activate ‘verbose’ logging! https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201643703

Install Tautulli for a little bit more comfort.

Thanks, I was hoping to avoid 3rd party plugins, used Tautulli ages ago when it was still Plexpy (or something like that) but then when Plex rolled out the dashboard I didn’t feel a need for the added overhead. I’ll see what debug logs have to offer me and thanks for the added tip on not activating verbose logging.
