Microstats - load times, server loads, queries, uncached templates

This is a derivative of Erwin's microstats hack for vBulletin 3.5.0's plugin system. The main difference is that by default it shows the page generation time and query count to the public. Server loads and Uncached Queries are shown only to administrators.

I had sent this to Erwin so he could release if he wanted to but instead he told me that I had permission to release it; hence why I am releasing it.

This should work with vBulletin 3.5.0 RC 1 through vBulletin 3.6.1 and later.

Installation is very simple. Just import the plugin via vBulletin's "Download / Upload Plugins" page in the Plugin System in the Admin Control Panel and you're done.

I'll try to correct any bugs that you find. Let me know if you like this plugin and don't forget to click the install link if you install this.

Optional config.php Variables

$config['Microstats']['replacementvariable']

Setting this variable will make microstats place its data before any instance of whatever you set this variable to. Be careful with this as you might see microstats in mutiple places. My suggestion is to use a unique comment in the HTML source to prevent any issues.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['replacementvariable'] = '<!-- display microstats here -->';

$config['Microstats']['adminonly']

Setting this variable to anything will make microstats display itself only to administrators.

E.g. $config['Microstats']['adminonly'] = true;

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but...how do I edit where on the page it appears?

EDIT: Nvm...it was in the hack desc.
-.- I'm slow

EDIT AGAIN: What exactly do the server loads mean, and what is a good range?

It is an average of server load over time. The first is over one minute, the second is over five minutes and the third is over 15 minutes. You'll generally want it to be at or below 1.00 times the number of processors in your site's server.

Ah, ok, thanks

Page generated in 1.37040 seconds with 30 queries [Server Loads: 8.81 8.49 : 9.46]

That's my forumhome. Is that bad to have that many queries?

In fact it is. It could slow down your server speed and generate too many mySQL errors, I suppose.

That query count is a bit excessive. How many plugins are you running?

[GamerJunk.net]

Look at the page

www.gsnforce.com/forum

I get 49 queries in my showthread page, what is the average that should be there?

Installed.

I use it with the configsetting:

$config['Microstats']['adminonly'] = true;

But can I use this also for 2 groups? I want give it to admin and supermoderators group.

Thanks for helping.
