LogMonitor (C++) Sample

This extension monitors for chat users login/logout notifications and outputs a report to a text file (C:\CHATSESS.LOG).

Description

This sample demonstrates event bindings for user creation and deletion notifications. On receiving the OnNewUser event notification, it stores the user's nickname and logon time in a collection. When the OnCloseUser event occurs, it logs the user's nickname, connect time and disconnect time to a text log file (C:\CHATSESS.LOG).
