[feature request] automatically export the data in a logfile on a time-based interval

[aliengospel]

Pretty simple - just follow these steps:

1. Update online.js and replace with your URL: const surl='https://yourwebsite.com/api.php?user='+user+'&curd='+curd+'&t1='+t1+'&t2='+t2+'&t='+t
2. Update main.js with the same URL
3. Update manifest.json permissions, add your domain to allow communication between the browser and your domain
4. Code for api.php:

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');

//Establish database connection
$configs = include('config.php');

//Get parameters from URL
$user = htmlspecialchars($_GET["user"]);
$curd = htmlspecialchars($_GET["curd"]);
$t1 = htmlspecialchars($_GET["t1"]);
$t2 = htmlspecialchars($_GET["t2"]);
$t = htmlspecialchars($_GET["t"]);

//Change date format from ddmmyyyy to yyyy-mm-dd
$curd = preg_replace('/^.*(\d{2})(\d{2})(\d{4})$/', '$1-$2-$3', $curd);
$curd = date("Y-m-d", strtotime($curd) );

//Insert into database
$sql = "INSERT INTO your_db_table (user_number, login_date, login_time, logout_time, online_time) VALUES ('$user', '$curd', '$t1', '$t2', '$t')";
mysqli_query($conn, $sql);

//Close database connection
$conn->close();

//Exit gracefully
exit();

Enjoy!

Regards,
Abbas

Would it make more sense to have a database installed on your local machine (say mySQL for example) and have the script push logs to the database directly in addition to spitting out records to the console?

[aliengospel]

Works like a charm! Besides pointing the url to my api endpoint, I had to "allow" the endpoint in manifest.json else I was running into CORS errors. Thanks for your help Rizwan!

[Rantun]

Can you also complement the requirement with include in the output the date of the log, for instance:
WhatsApp Monitor,Multiple,6/18/2020
Name, Time , Status, Date
Alex,11:24:37, online, 6/18/2020
Tommy, 14:33:21, online, 6/19/2020

Thanks

I see the automatic update for WhatsApp Monitor version 2.2 has come through for both the Firefox add-on and Google Chrome extension. The first thing I noticed was that I could not export the logfile for my already ongoing monitoring which was enabled way before the (automatic) update came through. So that means anything I logged before that has been lost in between the time I exported and saved the last logfile by hand until the moment the update was performed. Which urges me to once again request for the automatic export of the logfile(s) instead of needing to do it by hand.

I had to restart the browser to re-enable WhatsApp Monitor logging due to this.

Hey @Baricanac i can understand your problem we will definitely work on auto-download feature before updating extension I forget to visit issues in Github and Google is very strict regarding update new package they rejected 5 times for the update extension.

I hope someone will fork and add or I will consider it in next update with more reliable and improved version.

don't take tension you can access your history
https://whatsappanalysis.in/online go official website and login and take your data backup in csv format

[Baricanac]

@rizwansoaib could you please reintroduce the full timestamps, for example "whatsapp-monitor_22-8-2020_13-05-48.csv", back in the logfile naming? Now if something would happpen with the browser/application/electricity/internet connection or you name it and if I were to restart the logging it will mess up/overwrite the previous logfile that has the same filename of that day. For example if I had "whatsapp-monitor_22-8-2020.csv" saved and kept on saving it would be named "whatsapp-monitor_22-8-2020(1).csv" and so on. But if I were to restart logging for whatever reason like previously mentioned, it would result in the new logfile being named "whatsapp-monitor_22-8-2020.csv" once again. The previous logfile naming prevented confusion if something like that were to occur. And it was easier to just keep on logging once again that way. Thanks for the hard work!

[rizwansoaib]

@Baricanac wait for next update naming will definitely add.

Edit online.js file save function Change variable surl to your api endpoint now all data will be saved in your DB. Thanks & regards RIZWAN AHMAD

Hi Rizwan,
I had some issues that when using multiple monitoring , sometimes history is not saved in csv. Do I need to have an active screen on the mobile (I am using PC and mobile) or is it required that Whatsapp web is always in front and no screensaver? Or can mobile be on the normal whats app chat overview? Regards,
Jana

Would you be willing to explain (in detail) on how you achieved this setup with a database?

@Baricanac please go through discussion section and add feature request for v2.3 if there is not listed.
