vB TOP for linux dedicated servers
 

Dr Erwin Loh's TOP for vB3 version 1.0

Dedicated server admins running vBulletins will know the importance of monitoring the TOP stats on your linux machine.

However, telnet or SSH access is not always available - e.g. when you are work or behind a firewall.

I've made a quick php script, that allows you to quickly view total number of users (members + guests) online, total httpd and mysql processes, and your top stats, all via a web page. It's coded so that only Admins (who have access to your Admin CP) can view this page. It uses your forum permissions, so you can change the code to allow only your userid to view it.

I've purposely made it sparse and clean, so that no bandwidth is wasted when viewing this page.

The file is top.php - just upload it to your forums directory, and view it.

Keep refreshing it to view your TOP stats in realtime. I didn't put in an auto-refresh as that can be annoying.

Enjoy! I know it's useful for me when I'm at work!

great stuff Erwin , can you add the code to add this as a link in admincp under statistics and logs

BADASS!!!

Can I say that here??

Cause that is what this is..... Thanks Doc.

/me installs.

Very nice will save me time as I'm lazy :)

Can this be broken down by mysql database ? I'd be interested in seeing that too if possible but this is a handy hack to have.

No, it can't. This looks at the whole server, and gives you a list of the top processes. It's useful for optimizing servers, and monitoring the performance.

Works well.

Thanks.

nice hack Doc.
thanks.

is there any requirement for server, or file to read the load?
here's all what I get:

Mmm... are you on a dedicated server? What's the OS?
