Miscellaneous Hacks - AP Lightweight Performance Statistics

This is a very lightweight hack that adds basic page performance statistics to each page display.

It only displays for Moderators and Admins, as we don't want the unwashed masses to see this information.

Installation: Install the product file from AdminCP

Displays as the last line of the page:

Uptime: 13 Days 0:58:17 MySQL Uptime: 0 Days 14:30:11 Page generated in 0.56116 seconds with 31 queries [Server Load Averages (1:5:15) 3.67 : 4.31 : 3.89]

I have this running on vB4.1.3 but it should run on any vB4.0.0 and up.

There are 3.x hacks like this that do more, the trade off being this is very low impact.

2.0.1 Removed can_moderate and added AdminCP option that allows you to set the user-groups that can see the statistics
2.0.2 Added uptime (Linux only)
2.0.3 Phrased and fixed to handle no available uptime in Linux
2.0.4 Added options MySQL uptime - optional - requires MySQL 5.1.12 or higher - off by default - adds one query per page if turned on
2.0.7 Minor updates as implemented on my site

Enjoy!

Is it an error?

Can anyone help me on this?

My server is LINUX. Latest version of the mod.

My board shows:
"Page generated in 0.12074 seconds with 20 queries [Server Load Averages (1:5:15)"

@MarceloS You will need to see if either of the two methods are active for the Apache account.

I.e.
1. Can the file /proc/loadavg be accessed by the Apache account?
-or-
2. Does uptime run?

If neither work, then its a Linux permissions/shell problem.

If you are running security enhanced linux then you may need to adjust the security profile.

I've phrased it so you can more easily change the words and/or colours etc.
It uses the default colours per class="smallfont" at the footer.

1. Support says that "The file "/proc/loadavg" is under the ownership of root. So Apache user cannot access it." They say that it can't be changed.

2. Uptime not working. After the update, I get only this: "Page generated in 0.10525 seconds with 19 queries"

@MarceloS, it seems your hosting provider has more limits than mine. Not much i can do about that.

Updated !

It now optionally shows the MySQL uptime.
This adds one query per page, is off by default, and needs MySQL 5.1.12 or higher

[RedDevil]

Added seems to work fine on VB 4.1.3 and 4.1.4, maybe add colour change in settings rather than edit phrases.

Nice addon

The colour is not something I want as this mod is intended to be light, fast and only for site staff.
It's not really intended for all your forum members as it really aimed at performance monitoring.
