Status page scripts

joepie91 said: Wrote a status page script myself: http://kerpia.cryto.net:3720/

Layout inspired by https://github.com/nikkiii/status and using a modified scrd.
AJAX request asking for new stats is made every 30 seconds. I used to collect stats every 10 seconds, but some of my servers didn't really like that - I should look into making it do persistent connections. As for how it works, the stats are retrieved in JSON format and processed client-side with a bit of javascript-fu
(will release source code when I cleaned it up, it's a horrible mess right now)

Wow O_O Just noticed your script, almost the best I've seen so far. Would be great if you make that public.

@luis123456 : Why indicators (PNG images) are not showing in your script? Seems to me as there is something with the bar.php coding, or something not enabled from my side.

Well, it works on all VPS I have. I multi tested it. Maybe new openvz is breaking it?

Here's a demo: http://20host.tk/info

Thanks a lot It turned to be the GD isn't installed in that VPS, while in my other VPS it worked like chram. So, I run "sudo apt-get install php5-gd" and modified php.ini with: (extension_dir = "/usr/lib/php5/modules")<-- or adding whatever the path to shared objects directory. Restarted Apache , and GD library is working in the VPS that didn't show indicators earlier, indicators are showing thereafter

btw, nice, and awesome one, luis IMHO it can even be further improved if

1) Removing "System Info" and "Other Stuff" bars.
2) Creating a simple "central webpage" and include each three server status pages in it displayed next to each other in one row.
3) That webpage can be in JS too, and automatically refresh the scripts every x seconds.
4) We can use an .htaccess file (for Apache, or equivalent method for Nginx and others) to restrict access to PHP script on each VPS to just the server that hosts the "central page".

Just thoughts for simple customization, but not doing it currently, even though i'm solely in the meantime depending on a ping service monitoring my sites uptime.
And again.....thanks to you.

sandoz

why am i getting getCpuUsage(): couldn't access STAT path or STAT file invalid

Go59954

@sandoz : Is the page displaying at all, or it's displaying but CPU info isn't? What do you get in error log? also what os running in your VPS?

Just a little problem. How to add a server in the sqlite db.

LivingSouL

no one wants to share how they did it? I can't seem to get it to work on my VPS

LivingSouL

Can someone please help?

PHP Warning:  require(Net/Ping.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/cron.php on line 21
PHP Fatal error:  require(): Failed opening required 'Net/Ping.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/cron.php on line 21

And nothing displays on the index.php too ...

That error tells you that the cronjob cannot find your Ping.php file.

Make sure the Ping.php file is actually on your system. If it is, the file path is probably wrong.

It looks like your system cannot locate the Ping.php script.

You can do 2 things,

1) Edit your php include path to the directory where Ping.php actually resides, you need the FULL path.

2) Edit /var/www/cron.php for the full path to Ping.php

You can locate Ping.php on a CentOS system with these 2 commands (first command updates your file database and second actually searches for the full path to the file:

updatedb
locate Ping.php

tux

apt-get install php-net-ping

LivingSouL

@kiloserve: I've done what you've said:

# locate ping.php
/usr/share/cacti/site/lib/ping.php
/usr/share/cacti/site/scripts/ss_fping.php

then I added this code on the cron.php

<?php
// Works as of PHP 4.3.0
//set_include_path('/usr/lib/pear');

// Works in all PHP versions
ini_set('include_path', '/usr/share/cacti/site/lib');
?>

@tux: thanks and done..

but...

I'm not getting any results yet. Index.php is just blank on my browser.

LivingSouL said: locate ping.php

Hi LivingSoul, that's the wrong Ping.php

It's "Ping.php" (Capital P...Winbloze doesn't care but Linux is case sensitive).

updatedb
locate Ping.php

LivingSouL

@kiloserve: oh yeah..

# locate Ping.php
/usr/share/php/Net/Ping.php

changed the include path also on cron.php but nothing still?

kiloserve

Are you still getting the stream not found error?

Please post any additional errors or confirm you are still getting same error.

tortau

@LivingSouL: Type pear install Net_Ping

LivingSouL

@tortau:

# pear install Net_Ping

pear/Net_Ping is already installed and is the same as the released version 2.4.5

@kiloserve: nope, i'm not getting any errors now, but still nothing displayed on the browser, as in blank. I'm not sure if it's processing or not. scrd is running though. thanks for the replies..

dmmcintyre3

did you add any servers to the database?

LivingSouL

how? :-|

kiloserve

LivingSouL said: nope, i'm not getting any errors now

That is good, it is no longer an issue with Ping.php and is probably running correctly on the PHP side. You did edit config.php, right?

If yes, your issue is probably on the scrd side.

Did you edit scrd.conf and is scrd running?

LivingSouL

oh there it is, http://stats.marcroger.com/

can you please teach me how to add a server? thanks.

kiloserve

LivingSouL said: oh there it is, http://ph.marcroger.com/www

That is good, it looks like you have the "display" portion of this completed, you are missing the data collection/stats portion I believe.

LivingSouL said: can you please teach me how to add a server? thanks.

Have you installed and configured scrd yet?

cedric

LivingSouL said: how? :-|

You should be able to:

sqlite3 servers.db

INSERT INTO "servers" VALUES('Unique ID','Hostname/IP','Node Name/Number','Provider',0,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);

.quit

LivingSouL

@cedric: thanks! now something actually shows on the page...

@kiloserve: yep, installed, configured and it's running on #2, where the stats is hosted (Debian). I'm having a hard time running scrd on CentOS, #1,3 and 4.

LivingSouL

ah! i got it... the problem was the path. it should be ini_set('include_path', '/usr/share/php'); instead of /php/Net...

now on to the JSON for CentOS 5.7... hmmmm

Seems I'm having the same issue with you, scrd's running but no statistics info shows up on the page. The Last Updated shows a weird number. Any ideas?

kiloserve

LivingSouL said: I'm having a hard time running scrd on CentOS, #1,3 and 4.

Sounds like Kujoe found the fix for the CentOS issue:

Replace all instances of "json" with "simplejson" in the scrd file. (BTW, I'm using CentOS 5.6.)

or

change "import json" to "import simplejson as json"

LivingSouL

Yes, are you running debian? If you are, here's what I did.

updatedb
locate Ping.php

and then it'll output something like

# locate Ping.php
/usr/share/php/Net/Ping.php

then put the location on your cron.php like this on the first line

<?php
ini_set('include_path', '/usr/share/php');
?>

and it should collect something on your stats page. And also check your firewall if it allows the port you've set to the scrd.conf and config.php

kiloserve said: change "import json" to "import simplejson as json"

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your help. It's now displaying
http://stats.marcroger.com

One question though, this doesn't display the processes right?

LivingSouL said: and it should collect something on your stats page. And also check your firewall if it allows the port you've set to the scrd.conf and config.php

I found why it's not working for me, I've pointed the wrong php binary path in the cronjob since I'm using a self-compiled php. Now everything works well for me. Thanks.

LivingSouL

cool!
