Minecraft Analytics vs other tools

These tools stay useful. Minecraft Analytics covers the operator view they do not: logs, metrics, and exceptions for every server in the network.

• Minecraft Analytics vs Spark

  Spark and Minecraft Analytics answer different questions. Spark tells you which plugin is eating the tick on the server you are looking at. Minecraft Analytics tells you what the network did over time, including machines you are not logged into.

• Minecraft Analytics vs Plan

  Plan is built to answer who played. Minecraft Analytics is built to answer what the network did. Many networks run both, because the questions do not overlap cleanly.

• Minecraft Analytics vs bStats

  bStats and Minecraft Analytics do not replace each other. bStats tells a plugin author how many servers run their jar. Minecraft Analytics tells you what your own servers are doing.

• Minecraft Analytics vs SSH logs

  Reading latest.log over SSH works until the network has a proxy and several backends. Minecraft Analytics is that same log stream, plus metrics, without a terminal on each box.
