Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Server Info in Admin Control Panel

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"

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.

Is this secure or is there vulnrabilites with it?

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

/me clicks install

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

This is a really neat tool, lots of info all in one place. 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!
