Count open socket and channel connections in a Phoenix application
Is there a relatively simple, documented way in a Phoenix application to read how many active sockets and channels are currently open at any given time? And more specifically, is it possible to filter this data by topic and other channel connection metadata?
My use case is for analytics on active connections to my backend.
Thanks for any suggestions!

You are looking for Phoenix.Presence. From the documentation:
Provides Presence tracking to processes and channels.
This behaviour provides presence features such as fetching presences for a given topic, as well as handling diffs of join and leave events as they occur in real-time. Using this module defines a supervisor and allows the calling module to implement the
Phoenix.Trackerbehaviour which starts a tracker process to handle presence information.
Basically, you are supposed to implement Phoenix.Presence behaviour (the almost ready-to-go example is there in docs,) and Phoenix.Tracker according to your needs.

Thanks, I've read through thePresencedocs and it seems like it's intended for tracking presences by topic. However, if I have various different topics that belong to the same category (e.g.user:1,user:2) is it possible to track presence for theusercategory? I haven't seen anything in docs indicating this.

You are to implement your own logic tracking whatever you need.

I was able to solve this problem by creating a designatedmainchannel that all users connect to in addition to connecting to their own user channel (e.g.user:23). I then intercepted events likepresence_diffin themainchannel and sent updates only to admins, as regular users should not be able to see presence information of other users, at least as analytics is concerned in my app. I still feel like this solution is kind of a workaround and that a better solution is available, but I haven't been able to find any documented examples of similar things.
