vbMicroStats: page load time, queries, GZIP and PHP version

[high]Looking for VB3 version? Is here.[/high]

This hack will add at the bottom of each vBulletin(powered) page the following stats:
- load time of specified page in microseconds (with custom no. of digits to show)
- number of queries executed
- server GZIP library compression status
- vBulletin DEBUG mode
- PHP version
- PHP percent page usage
- MySQL percent page usage
- Server Load
[high]This is not only estethic, it will also help you troubleshoot any wierd queries that you have in your scripts.
The hack is template based so you can edit it the way you want in few seconds.[/high]
NOTE: From users experiences, this hack will work only with PHP 4.0.6 or higher. Let me know if it works with a lower PHP version.

THE FIX FOR VB2.3.0 IS HERE.

HACK UPDATES
Version 2.1
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added Server Load

NOTE: I spoked with Kevin 'tubedogg' from vBulletin Support team and he explained to me that not all the servers are configured to support the [high]@exec("uptime")[/high].
Contact your host for more details and ask them about this issue.
For a full explanation of your 3 server load values, read more here.

*If you want to have the stats viewable only by admins, read this post.

Version 2.0
------------------------------------
Changes:
- added vBulletin DEBUG Mode
- removed the Details link
- cleaned a little the code to match VB2.2.6
- better explanations into the install file.

Version 1.7
------------------------------------
[high]VB2.2.5:[/high]
Minor change in admin/db_mysql.php. Read more here on how to update your hack.
Minor change in forum/global.php. Read more here on how to update your hack.

Changes:
- corrected negative values on certain servers.

Version 1.6
------------------------------------
Changes:
- PHP version and GZIP library status viewable only to admin.
- added a link to Detailed Stats View (generated by vBulletin), for that specific page. Only admins can view that link.

Version 1.5
------------------------------------
Added:
- GZIP library status is now related to your vBulletion options.

All you have to do is call it with the {getmicrostats} string, anywhere you want (for example in footer).
You also have the choice to install it as template based or coded directly into your functions.php file.

Version 1.2
------------------------------------
Added the PHP and MySQL page percentage.
(Addon by Chen 'FireFly' Avinadav)

firefly, i noticed something related to your code addon for this hack. in your site, the PHP % is always smaller then the MySQL %.
the normal way is: your PHP value should always be bigger then the MySQL one (like it's supposed to be in EXPLAIN=1). everyone's page does that, except here at vB.org. just letting you know. if i'm wrong, correct me please.

Mine does the same thing. Take a look for yourself http://www.g20.net/forum reload as much as you wish.


My average is about .30 seconds to generate the page and 35% PHP and 65% SQL.


I think it may be because I have a dedicated mySQL server, its not on the localhost. :squareeyed:

[b-b00gie]

Also, I looked at my $adminstats and on average I see something like...

Page generated in 0.26241195201874 seconds with 22 queries,
spending 0.18734097480774 doing MySQL queries and 0.075070977210999 doing PHP things.

The SQL is taking longer to generate than PHP. Again, most likely because my VB is connecting to a db on a seperate machine. Although it is still rather fast. :classic:

[TECK]

probably that's the case...
thanks for the info. i was just curious.
however, if i do this here, at vB.org (the EXPLAIN=1) it's telling me the viceversa, what is listed in %, at the bottom of the page.

New db_mysql.php released:

i will change the file when VB226 will be oficially released. (today)

I like this hack. Just out of curiousity, what is an "Ideal" number to get for PHP and MySql and how do they relate?

Boy was that vague..

Thanks for the help,

Josh

[TECK]

it depends on your server. there are no ideal numbers. hope that helps.

Sorry, Nakkid. Many posts before, you talked about the number 40 as the maximum acceptable for queries on forumhome... (apart of VBPortal... w/ more than hundred...)

I have many hacks installed involving the first page, and now I'm round 43-45... And i'm working to something else... more! :cheeky:

Btw I still have numbers like:

Page generated in 0.65888 seconds 
(34.21% PHP v4.1.2 + 65.79% MySQL v3.23.45) 
with 43 queries. GZip level 1. [details]

wich seem acceptable to me...

Actually, is there any reason for the limit under 40 ? Shall I be afraid of arriving till 50 ?
Thanks a lot.
Bye

i probably understood wrong the question. i thought he was referring at the %.
well, if i understood corectly from firefly, the more queries you have, the higher your server load will be. eventually, on a busy board it will bring the server to it's knees and your host will cancel your account. there are alot of people out there who have 150queries on a page, without even knowing.

so i set myself a goal not to have more then 40queries on a page. even 40, on a very busy board, is dangerously high. i'm talking about boards with 300-400 users online that activly post every second. if you have 50queries, that will kill your server, if not even crashing it.

the highest value will be arround 34queries, on my site. and that's the main page (vbHome full version).
