  First setup a variable counter. Each time a trigger is received increase the variable number.

  Second I would use an Eventhandler with time out 5min. Every 5 minutes it would send a UDP message to a web platform with the amount of variables counted.

  For me I have the advantage of using a CMS cloud platform SigncastFeeds that can receive the UDP messages and log them.

  I did not do, or have experience with, calculations. I thinks this requires scripting. Enclosed an image on the UDP output. You have to setup destination address in the Presentation Properties - Interactive tab.

  Hi Ian and Eric

  You can increment a variable on a schedule, and you can also reset the counter. Here is how:

  

  You could send an HTTP request to the remote server, and submit the counter value as part of the HTTP request URL. Now how do you generate an HTTP request?

  You could create a fake data feed with a URL such as http://MyRemoteServer.com/myStatsScript.php?$$counter$$

  I think that should work... :)

  You would then refresh the fake feed, once in every 5min like so

  

  If you have multiple players that you need to track individually, then your URL would pass the player's ID also like

  http://MyRemoteServer.com/myStatsScript.php?$$playerSerial$$&$$counter$$

   

  playerSerial would be defined like so:

  

  I hope that helped
