Server Load / Status

Is there a hack, module, script that will display my current site load? I've seen a few sites run by php-nuke or others that do this, can xoops?

Thanks

Can you give a specific example (URL)? There are several ways in which you can monitor server load using features such as SNMP. What items are you wanting to monitor exactly?

If you go to overclockersclub.com, you'll notice a site load that is shown by LEDs. It's small and inconspicuous, but I like it and would like to intergrate something like that into my site.

That'll most likely be a custom built script that displays that, and as far as I know there is nothing like that expressly built for Xoops. You could try having a look at HotScripts, but it'll depend on what operating system you use to an extent.

I like this and want something similiar so I am having a go at creating it to put into a block. Getting the servers load average is pretty easy if you use a linux host but parsing that info and creating images to display it are new to me so maybe I will learn a thing or two.

The easiest way I know is to use a stand alone app like Mrtg or anything you like. Then with Tinycontent or something you make a page to present the resulting graphs. And then only allow at most your logged in users to see it.

I'm not a big fan of realtime stats on the webpage. The cool factor wears off quickly and they tend to increase the server load (ironic eh?). Too much server info is a bad thing as it can give crackers more info than you want them to have.

Well I have made that, which seems to work alright. I set it to use the 1 minute average but the 5 and 15 minute averages can be used by setting $load[0] to $load[1] and $load[2] respectively. The only problem I am having is when I put this into a custom php block it distorts the page badly. Any help with this from others would be great.

Thanks for the work on this guys, it's not something I must have, but I thought it would be neat.

Another thing I'm trying to do is get my most recent IPB topics displayed in a block. I have my forum stats already, but I would like my users to see what the most popular topics on my board are. Problem is, I use IPB and I'm not a fan of the XOOPS portal hacks for IPB.
