FileLog

FileLog - lightweight chat and command logging for individual players (as opposed to one main log)

What does FileLog do?
FileLog logs every time a player joins, leaves, chats, and runs a command in their own .log file.

FILELOG VS MAINLOG

• 
  
• FileLog creates a file for each player, allowing you to easily find their logs, while the mainlog is for everything, can get very large, and is difficult to search.
  
• FileLog has a smart file-naming scheme: <UUID>-<name>.log, making it easy to find the log of the player you're looking for.
  
• FileLog has smart name-change detection. It will continue one log for one player, and will also update the <name> in the file name accordingly. This allows you to always know how to find a player, even if they changed their name (whereas in the main log you would need to remember their old name to find their actions).
  
• FileLog runs asynchronously, which allows the file IO to run in a separate thread, saving server performance.
  
• FileLog isn't cluttered with other info like the main log is. FileLogs will only show you relevant information.

How to use?
Just put it in your plugins folder and give players who you do not want to be logged the "filelog.exempt" permission.
