InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
Plan is to use https://github.com/Qowyn/ark-savegame-toolkit/tree/master/src/main/java/qowyn/ark to pull data out of the backup files from the SavedArks/*.ark files that get backed up on a regular basis. I don't really need to see things in uber-real-time. I'll probably expose the data (json) with a simple web interface that I can check from time to time.
I also looked at making a server plugin to expose the data using https://github.com/ServersHub/Framework-ArkServerApi but I don't really want to write C/C++ and adding server plugins scares me because crashing/corruption is my biggest fear.
