Import from Plan

Switch from Plan without losing your history

Run one command on the server where Plan is installed. Your players, sessions and playtime from Plan come with you, so your charts don't start empty.

What Plan does for you

Players and first join

Every player's first join comes over, so long-time players aren't counted as new.

Sessions and playtime

Each Plan session is replayed as a join and a leave at its original time, so retention and session length cover your past too.

Join addresses and countries

The address each session joined through and the player's country, so traffic sources, campaigns and the world map include history.

Read on your own server

The Analyse plugin reads Plan through Plan's own Query API, so no database passwords leave your server. SQLite and MySQL both work.

How you'd use it

A server moving over after years on Plan

The situation

You have run Plan on your survival server for years and want to switch to Analyse without resetting every chart.

With Analyse

Your past sessions and playtime come in, so retention and first-seen dates reflect the real history of your community.

Tracking started before the import

The situation

You installed Analyse last week and only now found the importer.

With Analyse

Only sessions from before your first live join are imported, so last week isn't counted twice.

Set it up

  1. 1

    Install Analyse next to Plan

    Keep Plan installed on the server or proxy where it runs, and connect the Analyse plugin to your game.

  2. 2

    Start the import

    Run /analyse import plan in the console. It reads Plan in pages off the main thread.

  3. 3

    Watch it finish

    Progress shows in chat and in game settings under Import. After a restart, run the command again and it continues where it stopped.

Questions

Can I import data from Plan: Player Analytics?

Yes. The Analyse plugin imports players, sessions, playtime, join addresses and countries from Plan with /analyse import plan.

Does it work with Plan on SQLite and MySQL?

Yes. It reads through Plan's Query API, which works the same for both. Plan 4.9 or newer is needed.

Will imported sessions overlap my live data?

No. Only sessions that ended before your game's first live join are imported, and the same history can't be imported twice.

Can I start tracking now and import later?

Yes. Install the plugin today to start collecting live data. The import fills in the time before that.
