The GameSentry plugin
RCON shows a lot, but not everything. The GameSentry plugin is a small DLL for Rust that records what RCON can't and sends it to your panel. It runs on vanilla servers: no Oxide, uMod or Carbon needed.
What it records
- Every kill with the weapon, distance, body part and headshots
- Resources gathered and items picked up
- Barrels, crates and airdrops opened
- Satchels, C4 and rockets used
- Animal and scientist kills
- Server health snapshots
- Wipes, detected on their own
Setting it up
- Drop the DLL into your server's HarmonyMods folder.
- Add a small config file with an organization API key and your server's ID.
- Restart the server. The console says Authenticated successfully when it's working.
It feeds the leaderboards, player stats and automation. Ask on Discord to get the plugin and help setting it up.
