Possible to determine who assigned group without reading through log?

[LKNickname]

I am trying to determine which user gave a group to another user and I want this information to be displayed somewhere else.
The whole process should be completely automatic, like a query running every 5 minutes or so.

Therefor reading manually through the serverlog is not an option but maybe automatically scanning the logfile is.
However I am uncertain if this would be the best (and only) way to achieve this so I am open for suggestions

There is no other option unless you are using the clientquery plugin which I'm sure will have an event for this which you could subscribe to and log.

Welp, that was what I expected but it's always better to ask beforehand

the clientquery plugin which I'm sure will have an event for this which you could subscribe to and log.

Thanks for the idea, will definitely check this one out.

Just a quick update if someone stumbles upon this question:

I realized this via a Powershell-Script that extracts the ID of the receiving user and the ID of the User that gave the receiving user the group.

It is not ideal because it reads through ALL logfiles when being executed and relies on the "notification" for the group not to be changed in a future update but I guess it is a solid base and maybe you can work out a more refined version with this script as a base

#config
$outfilepath="<NAME AND PATH OF THE RESULTSFILE (CSV-FORMAT)"
$logfilespath="<PATH TO THE TS3-SERVER'S /LOG-FOLDER"
$groupid=<YOUR GROUP ID>
$groupname="<NAME OF YOUR GROUP>"

#remove the old outfile before exporting the new list
Remove-Item $outfilepath

#searchstring that is used to determine which lines correlate to the group being "awarded"
$searchWords = "id:(\d+)\) was added to servergroup '"+$groupname+"'\(id:"+$groupid+"\) by client.+id:(\d+)\)"

Foreach ($sw in $searchWords)
{
	Get-Childitem -Path $logfilespath -Recurse -include "*.log" | 
    Select-String -Pattern "$sw" | % {"$($_.matches.groups[1]),$($_.matches.groups[2])"} |
	Out-File -Encoding "UTF8" -FilePath $outfilepath -Append
}

The results look like this:
1234,4321
4711,9941
6521,9223
etc.

The first number is the TS-DBID of the user that received the group and the last number is the TS-DBID of the user that received the group.

Feel free to use this script as you like.
Just make sure to notify me of any changes you made to improve the script so I can update this answer and provide ppl with the latest version of it

If the bold part is true both numbers should be the same. I'm guessing one of those "received" should have been "gave" or "assigned".
