Hello gents,

I'm developing a ATC management web-site for my local vACC and I'm struggling with the problem how I can get the date on which the member was last seen online, so I could filter non-active members from the list.

 

So far I've searched through all this branch of forum and didn't find anything that could help me.

 

As a possible options I see the script which will be monitoring ATC positions and write down the IDs of controllers so I can update them in my database. But I believe this will put extra connections to vatsim servers when it's not needed as this procedure has to be completed over and over all day long, so I don't want to follow it. On the other hand VATSIM do track active and non-active members, so probably there should be some data about last seen online in members statistics, which I haven't found so far.

 

Any suggestions?

The only way currently is through the data stream. It updates roughly every 4 minutes, usually. If you pull it, the time they came online is listed in the txt file. To figure their disconnect time, just pull the file until they are no longer listed. Will be accurate to within 4 minutes. This is the only way to find out who is online. To find when they were last online, you'll need to record the information locally and retrieve it.
