Server Info in Admin Control Panel

[Dream]

This is a script that shows a lot of server information inside the AdminCP.

- Shows server time with exec(date)
- Shows uptime with exec(uptime)
- Shows server load with file_get_contents("/proc/loadavg")
- Shows memory usage with exec(free -m)
- Shows free disk space with exec(df -h)
- phpinfo() link
- Shows MySQL Stats with mysql_stat()
- Shows MySQL Status with "SHOW STATUS" query
- Shows MySQL Vars with "SHOW VARIABLES" query

Its superadmin only.

Installation
- Upload "server_info.php" to your admincp
- Upload "cpnav_serverinfo.xml" to your includes/xml
- Reload your AdminCP, its under "Server Info"

Works great except I can not access memory information. This is nothing to do with this mod but instead locking of the server form displaying this info to shmucks like me.

[Dream]

Thanks Redspider :)

[TexasDreams]

Works great except I can not access memory information. This is nothing to do with this mod but instead locking of the server form displaying this info to shmucks like me.

I wasn't getting the "Memory Usage" display either, because my server is on FreeBSD instead of Linux.

So, in "server_info.php" I changed lines 58 through 63...

FROM (Linux using 'free')
if ($_REQUEST['show'] == 'memoryusage' || empty($_REQUEST['show'])) {
print_form_header('', '');
print_table_header('Memory Usage &nbsp;<span class="normal">exec(free)</span>');
exec('free', $mem);
print_description_row('<pre>'.implode('<br />', $mem).'</pre>');
print_table_footer();

TO (FreeBSD using 'vmstat')
if ($_REQUEST['show'] == 'memoryusage' || empty($_REQUEST['show'])) {
print_form_header('', '');
print_table_header('Memory Usage &nbsp;<span class="normal">exec(vmstat)</span>');
exec('vmstat', $mem);
print_description_row('<pre>'.implode('<br />', $mem).'</pre>');
print_table_footer();

Works in a pinch to give the same kind of info. :)

[Chad F.]

Is this secure or is there vulnrabilites with it?

[Guest210212002]

Very slick. Can you add the output from plain old uptime as well?

/me clicks install

[Dream]

Sure, whats the unix command for that?

LOL didn't even think of this one. Much thanks for it :D

[adwade]

This is a really neat tool, lots of info all in one place.:D One question though, being BRAND NEW to all this I'm still learning the ropes of vB adminstration.

How do others know or track simple things like available disk space, or memory on their server?

Is that just a (daily) manual process wherein you look at it, or are there automated tools to forewarn you of an impending disaster?(i.e. emailed alert to admin, etc)

Does cPanel (or anything else) have those kind of features? Are there other MODs out there that admins typically use to keep an eye out about such things? Or does your HOST warn you when you come to close to the edge? Etc. Thanxx!

[da420]

[pedroenf]

Could this mod work in windows 2003 sever? Thanks.

[Zia]

it works with vb3.6.4 and all types of server?

is there any way to show cpu uses stats ?

[Cybershaolin]

Sorry wrong thread. Delte please.

[Dream]

Updated, added uptime

[adwade]

Updated, added uptime

Just went to update after FTP'ing the file to my Admincp directory and during the Import/Overwrite got: "Invalid File Specified" Checked and rechecked using the browse funtion and it show up, but won't IMPORT. Is the xml file ok?

[Dream]

Don't import the xml, upload it to includes/xml

[adwade]

Ah ha! No wonder it wouldn't work. Sorry-so-slow. Thanxx for the help, works fine when you follow the directions! ha, ha

As so clearly stated above:

Installation
- Upload "server_info.php" to your admincp
- Upload "cpnav_serverinfo.xml" to your includes/xml
- Reload your AdminCP, its under "Server Info"

[Dream]

No problem :)

[daddygrim]

looking good!!!

[bluechris]

Nothing works for 2k3 servers and IIS... only mysql info :(

[Dream]

Yes this mod is meant for Unix, sorry.

If anyone wants to use this as a base for a Win version be my guest.

[Doctor Death]

Installed.

Not sure why you need individual menu items when you have the ALL option...

Nice mod... Will be looking forward to next version.

Isn't there the ability to import as a product?

Server Info will not show up as product now and therefore you cannot track versions installed.

Thanks

[jw00dy]

Great mod.

I made some modifications to mine so it would show the free and df information is easier to read formats.

free -m show the memory in MB and not kb.
df -h show the stats in MB, GB, etc.

Both are much easier to read. And feel free to update the mod so it shows them this way, as I think most will prefer it this way.

Lines 66 - 80 in server_info.php changed to this:

if ($_REQUEST['show'] == 'memoryusage' || empty($_REQUEST['show'])) {
print_form_header('', '');
print_table_header('Memory Usage &nbsp;<span class="normal">exec(free -m)</span>');
exec('free -m', $mem);
print_description_row('<pre>'.implode('<br />', $mem).'</pre>');
print_table_footer();
}

if ($_REQUEST['show'] == 'freediskspace' || empty($_REQUEST['show'])) {
print_form_header('', '');
print_table_header('Free Disk Space &nbsp;<span class="normal">exec(df -h)</span>');
exec('df -h', $df);
print_description_row('<pre>'.implode('<br />', $df).'</pre>');
print_table_footer();
}

[Dream]

Thanks, I'll update the mod :)

great

great
Cool, just glad to help. I can't code for jack, but in some cases I'm useful :D :D

[Dream]

Well, I'm not a Unix guru myself :)

Updated, made free be free -m and df be df -h

[Dream]

Server Info will not show up as product now and therefore you cannot track versions installed.

I always send an update when I update my mods. Sending an update sends an email to everyone that has the mod marked as Installed. So no need for a useless product xml just to show a version number.

[adwade]

One question, for those of us not in-the-know (yet) what do each of the numbers mean?(i.e. Average for some timeperiod, Instantaneous, Peak, etc??)

Server Loads: average: 2.22, 2.10, 2.30 2.22 : 2.10


Also Thanxx for the tickler stating: Please click Mark as Installed if you use this modification >>>> Somehow I'd overlooked Clicking 'Installed' and it caught my attention this time. And after reading the statement just above, I understand WHY it's important to do so!:eek: Anyway, I'm on board now. :D Nice improvements too, jw00dy. :up:

[mcqwert]

Thanks.

Also, frightening to see how high my server load is:

Server Loads: 28.07 26.97 : 29.84

That's not just frightening, it's appalling, I honestly don't know how your forum is running - the response times from it must be poor/dire.

[jw00dy]

Yeah, those numbers are pretty frightening...

[Doctor Death]

I always send an update when I update my mods. Sending an update sends an email to everyone that has the mod marked as Installed. So no need for a useless product xml just to show a version number.

Well, I ask for this not just to see a number... I would like the metadata populated to support the CHECK VERSION function... I have a product that automatically does this, and many developers do this which allows immediate and automatic notification.

Thanks, great mod.

Reloaded AdminCP and logged in...

Run any function and get this...

Suggestions?

Thanks

Edit: Ignore above... discovered you had to be logged in as SuperAdmin.... :)

I usually avoid that and only login as Admin.... can I change something someplace to be able to use it under the lower capability?

BTW, here's what I get for loading...

Most likely an error in your editing the file, thats a PHP parse error. Check line 152 of the file.

No! I made the mistake in "free" on line 4 where I should put vmstat. I only placed vmstat once instead of twice. Sorry. Now it's working fine :)

}

Nerilka, I'm sorry but I don't know why uptime isn't working for you. Do you have access to the server? You could try using uptime in the command line and see if your unix system has this command.

[NeRilkA]

It doesn't really matter for the uptime, i don't have access to the server anyway

is it the same problem for Server Loads failed ?

thanks for your time :)

[Dream]

Not sure, sorry. I'm not very familiar with Unix commands, I just borrowed some codes from other places to wrap this up for me.

[kelekian]

server time, uptime, memory usage, free disk space, is coming as blank... :S

someone knows this problem?

[jw00dy]

Are you on a dedicated server? If you are not, then it's very very possible this will not work for you. If you are simply leasing some space from someone then it's more then likely that it won't work. It all depends on how they have you setup.

[Dream]

Also your exec() PHP function could be disabled by your host.

semi-dedicated server...

[jw00dy]

semi meaning it's not your server and you lease space from someone else.

What dream mentioned is probably exactly the problem.

[perfphysio]

I have a few errors following this installl on 3.6.6. They are below. Is this due perhaps to me running a VPS system?
