OctoPrint, Statistics and FailStats?

I'm using Octoprint to print with my MK3s. That all works great but I noticed some things I that don't work and I would like to know if that is some way to make it work anyway. Maybe with plugins for Octoprint.

Today I had a print fail. Only a small layer shift but it doesn't look great and I will do it over again. But when I looked to see what happened I noticed that the fail stats on the Prusa didn't show meaningful numbers. With a little testing with printing via Octoprint and from the sd-card I figured out the printer doesn't store the fail stats for the latest Octoprint print. But shows all fails from when the printer last used the sd-card. So with one forced fail on the sd-card print and 2 on the next Octoprint print the stats now show 3 fails for the last print.

Is there a way to make the Prusa show the fails for the Octoprint print only or does anyone know of a plugin for Octoprint to show these?

And the statistics for the Prusa only show the prints done with the sd-card. The display now shows 67m filament used but I have used over 3kg since I have the Prusa.

Same question. Is there a way to display the actual statistics?

Both not really important, but would be nice to have a fix or work around.

That is funny - I think it is that way:

Priting from SD-card ==> the printer is adding the used filament length and is calculating that. But: using Octoprint during a print (means you start the print over Octoprint) the Prusa printer is NOT calculating the filament length.

There is a plugin which is available:
https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/stats/

If you have problems to install please respond here.

Thanks. I had seen that but at first glance I thought it was just for power monitoring. Looks like it can do more that just that.

I have installed it now and will see what it can do for me. At the moment there isn't much to see, but that will change after a few days/prints.

Installation needed an extra step for me because I didn't use pyhton 3 yet. That was easy to fix.

Upgrade your OctoPrint install to Python 3!

Just a little update about the plugin. It works fine and now I have atleast some idea of how much I have used the Prusa. No info on how much filament is used but that I can see on the spools. There is also power used info. I haven't changed anything on that as I'm not really interested in that info.
