The "Activity" feature in Plex/Web doesn't really show much Activity, it shows what you have sync'd on different devices.&nbsp; Might be better to call it "Sync'd"

&nbsp;

I really could use an Activity feature that shows what people are watching at any given moment (what active streams are in progress).&nbsp; The reason being is that if I want to update the server, or reboot, it would be nice to see if someone is actively streaming a show from my server (I have a brother, 3 sisters, and a Mom who I've set up with ROKU's and so they stream stuff from my server all the time, not to mention the 4 roku's I have in my own home).&nbsp; I don't want to be restarting the server if someone is watching a show.&nbsp; It would also be nice to see what's been watched/streamed recently.&nbsp; (Just so I can get an idea as to how often they are using it).&nbsp; I tend to work on my server at night, which unfortunately is also the time when most people are using it!

&nbsp;

I'm currently running my Plex Server on an UNRAID box, which has limited GUI interfaces for me to track these kinds of activities via other means.

&nbsp;

It would also be nice, as others have requested to get some kind of an idea in real time, or even a report showing historical, that would show the Processor load and how often it's getting maxed out (This would help to answer the question "Do I need to upgrade my UNRAID BOX?").

&nbsp;

Thanks!
