server status outside of the whm

[sam_m08]

Hello,

Just wondering if its possible to have the server status statistics available to view outisde the whm of a VPS account?

Only reason I ask is it would be nice to view the server status on an html page so I could even keep an eye on CPU usage, memory etc via my phone.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
Sam

Hi Sam,

You can use either of these scripts which can serve the purpose of server monitoring:

Memory monitor:

PHP Code:

<?php
    exec ("cat /proc/meminfo", $details);
    $mem1 = $details[0]."<br />".$details[1]."<br />".$details[2]."<br />".$details[3];
    echo "Memory info: <br>$mem1<br />";
?>

Load monitor:

PHP Code:

<?php

define("TEMP_PATH","/tmp/");

class CPULoad {
        function check_load() {
                $fd = fopen("/proc/stat","r");
                if ($fd) {
                        $statinfo = explode("\n",fgets($fd, 1024));
                        fclose($fd);
                        foreach($statinfo as $line) {
                                $info = explode(" ",$line);
                                if($info[0]=="cpu") {
                                        array_shift($info);  // pop off "cpu"
                                        if(!$info[0]) array_shift($info); // pop off blank space (if any)
                                        $this->user = $info[0];
                                        $this->nice = $info[1];
                                        $this->system = $info[2];
                                        $this->idle = $info[3];
//                                      $this->print_current();
                                        return;
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
        function store_load() {
                $this->last_user = $this->user;
                $this->last_nice = $this->nice;
                $this->last_system = $this->system;
                $this->last_idle = $this->idle;
        }
        function save_load() {
                $this->store_load();
                $fp = @fopen(TEMP_PATH."cpuinfo.tmp","w");
                if ($fp) {
                        fwrite($fp,time()."\n");
                        fwrite($fp,$this->last_user." ".$this->last_nice." ".$this->last_system." ".$this->last_idle."\n");
                        fwrite($fp,$this->load["user"]." ".$this->load["nice"]." ".$this->load["system"]." ".$this->load["idle"]." ".$this->load["cpu"]."\n");
                        fclose($fp);
                }
        }

        function load_load() {
                $fp = @fopen(TEMP_PATH."cpuinfo.tmp","r");
                if ($fp) {
                        $lines = explode("\n",fread($fp,1024));

                        $this->lasttime = $lines[0];
                        list($this->last_user,$this->last_nice,$this->last_system,$this->last_idle) = explode(" ",$lines[1]);
                        list($this->load["user"],$this->load["nice"],$this->load["system"],$this->load["idle"],$this->load["cpu"]) = explode(" ",$lines[2]);
                        fclose($fp);
                } else {
                        $this->lasttime = time() - 60;
                        $this->last_user = $this->last_nice = $this->last_system = $this->last_idle = 0;
                        $this->user = $this->nice = $this->system = $this->idle = 0;
                }
        }

        function calculate_load() {
                //$this->print_current();

                $d_user = $this->user - $this->last_user;
                $d_nice = $this->nice - $this->last_nice;
                $d_system = $this->system - $this->last_system;
                $d_idle = $this->idle - $this->last_idle;

                //printf("Delta - User: %f  Nice: %f  System: %f  Idle: %f<br>",$d_user,$d_nice,$d_system,$d_idle);

                $total=$d_user+$d_nice+$d_system+$d_idle;
                if ($total<1) $total=1;
                $scale = 100.0/$total;

                $cpu_load = ($d_user+$d_nice+$d_system)*$scale;
                $this->load["user"] = $d_user*$scale;
                $this->load["nice"] = $d_nice*$scale;
                $this->load["system"] = $d_system*$scale;
                $this->load["idle"] = $d_idle*$scale;
                $this->load["cpu"] = ($d_user+$d_nice+$d_system)*$scale;
        }

        function print_current() {
                printf("Current load tickers - User: %f  Nice: %f  System: %f  Idle: %f<br>",
                        $this->user,
                        $this->nice,
                        $this->system,
                        $this->idle
                );
        }
        function print_load() {
                printf("User: %.1f%% <br> Nice: %.1f%% <br> System: %.1f%% <br> Idle: %.1f%% <br> Load: %.1f%%<br>",
                        $this->load["user"],
                        $this->load["nice"],
                        $this->load["system"],
                        $this->load["idle"],
                        $this->load["cpu"]
                );
        }
        function sample_load($interval=1) {
                $this->check_load();
                $this->store_load();
                sleep($interval);
                $this->check_load();
                $this->calculate_load();
        }
        function get_load($fastest_sample=4) {
                $this->load_load();
                $this->cached = (time()-$this->lasttime);
                if ($this->cached>=$fastest_sample) {
                        $this->check_load();
                        $this->calculate_load();
                        $this->save_load();
                }
        }
}

$cpuload = new CPULoad();
$cpuload->get_load();
$cpuload->print_load();

echo "The average CPU load is: ".$cpuload->load["cpu"]."%<br>\n";
?>

Uptime monitor:

PHP Code:

<?php
$uptime = shell_exec("cut -d. -f1 /proc/uptime");
$days = floor($uptime/60/60/24);
$hours = $uptime/60/60%24;
$mins = $uptime/60%60;
$secs = $uptime%60;
echo "This server is up $days days $hours hours $mins minutes and $secs seconds";
?>

Or you can find a wonderful ready-made script here [Save it as "vpsinfo.php" & upload to your VPS]: LabradorData.txt

Do let us know if you need any further assistance..

Great thread, I've been wondering exactly the same thing myself!

[Welshy]

you could always try this

Server Statistics - Status2K

have to pay but not expensive and if I recall you can monitor multiple servers

[sam_m08]

Brilliant!!!, thank you rock, thats perfect,

and also Lance, nice find too, looks like it works really well on the iphone. There really seems to be an app for everything.
