A collection of scripts that help us run our BigBlueButton servers

# pass the most recent 10 meetings to get their summary
ls -ltr /var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/ | tail -n 2 | awk '{print $9}' | xargs  -l ./meeting_analytics.sh

# pass individual meeting to get its summary
./meeting_analytics.sh <meeting-id>

# get the summary of meetings conducted on 2 Nov
find /var/bigbluebutton/recording/raw/ -maxdepth 1 -newerct "2 Nov" ! -newerct "3 Nov" -printf "%f\n" | xargs  -l ./meeting_analytics.sh

Sample Meeting Analytics:

• Id of meeting
• Whether recorded or not
• bbb-context and bbb-server-name
• Meeting name
• Unique participant count
• Meeting start time
• Meeting end time
• List of participants with their name, role (Viewer | Moderator) and join time

# Show result in the form: IP datetime name
./extract_IP_user_name.sh

./meeting_playback.sh

Sample result:

• Meeting name and count
• Start time
• Size in MB
• Duration in minute
• Playback url
