I want to play with extract data from echostats.ini

I see that the ini section to the area do not identify what network are
from. Like [Fidonet:Area] syntax as used in sbbsecho.ini

Example: i have two echos "Doors" from Fidonet and GameNet
how area saved the stats for these two areas if section name are [Doors]
on both?

thanks!

There are no AreaTags referenced in sbbsecho.ini

Duplicate AreaTags would be a problem. I imagine that would cause problems for the Area File (areas.bbs) parsing in SBBSecho too. Are you sure the AreaTags (aka EchoTags) are actually duplicates? Can you paste the relevant lines from your area file?

SBBSecho is not actually domain-aware, so there's currently no concept of "FidoNet" versus "Othernet" in SBBSecho - they're all just zones. And it's possible for a single area/echo to be linked to multiple zones. So you can't really say an area is a "
FidoNet" area when it's also gated to "SomeOtherNet", just as an example.

So... yeah. I'm clearly duplicate AreaTags would be a problem, but I think they'd be a problem in other areas of SBBSecho as well. So, I'm curious if you actually have that configuration happening there.

check the orig addresses in each record? the packets should be created by a zone address in the network they claim to be from...

eg: LastReceived.pkt_orig

but yeah, i don't know if sbbsecho makes a distinction between two or more identically named echos in its stats and if it does, how it differentiates between them in the stats...
