I'm working on setting up a system to monitor chat activity in real time from a Project Zomboid server. My goal is to capture chat messages from the server's chat channels, specifically messages sent to the /all channel, and display them live in a console window. Eventually, I plan to integrate a bot (Zombot) that can respond to user queries directly in the chat based on specific commands (to start).

To achieve this, I'm attempting to pull the server's chat logs, process them for /all chat entries, and display those messages in real time. The challenge is that I need to fetch and monitor the logs continuously, ideally without making significant changes to the server itself (like creating a mod).

To do so, I’m exploring solutions like using RCON commands, downloading log files, or potentially using SFTP to grab logs from the server. I’m also looking at creating a simple script to pull the logs from the server and check for chat messages in a structured way.

Once I can monitor the chat in real time, the next step will be integrating a bot that can listen to these messages and respond appropriately when a user types a command like "!Zombot {user query}" in the chat.
