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;

Would you be able to give me me those specifics? They might be helpful in figuring out why you're seeing what you're seeing.

PHP 4.3.11
MYSQL 4.1.8
Linux

I'm just quite perplexed as to why these two forums, hosted on the same box display differently.. for some reason both parts of the if statement are being executed on the second forum.

I too get the same, both parts of the load statement get executed and displayed.

Nice plugin!

To display the load average at a freeBSD server I had to replace this

if ($loadavg = @file_get_contents("/proc/loadavg")) {
	
		$regs = explode(" ",$loadavg);

With this

$loadavg = `sysctl vm.loadavg|cut -d" " -f3-5`;
if ($loadavg)
 {
			$regs = explode(" ",$loadavg);

this should also work at netbsd & openbsd servers!

Screenshots please?

I think you could also make a conditional that would execute one code if it is *BSD, and another code if it is *nix, couldn't you? It's displayed by the phpinfo() function, however I'm not sure how to retrieve it by a custom script. Could probably use a system command?

this is great, the only thing that annoys me is it show up in places like the "attach manager" window and messes with the layout.
