Why is everyone and their dog making "server monitoring" scripts nowadays?
Your monitor is only as good as the uptime of the probing node(s) you know...
I'm not sure if you are pointing down at me with that comment...
Google around for php and how to get load, disk, network etc.
Then create as you like.
If you want something to look for code to start picking though then try out:

Hope that helps. C=
If you meant me, no. I'm just seeing loads of server monitoring scripts and service lately, NodePing, ServerStatus, and all the likes; as well as many scripts. It's like reinventing the wheel over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.
Not just lately, it's been a popular activity for years.
True, but by reinventing the wheel you learn a lot about how wheels work.
Some people are just looking for an interesting project, not everyone requires enterprise-type monitoring, or maybe they have an existing system that needs to be integrated with.
I am also trying out a server monitoring script, not because something existing does not fit my need.. but because I wanted an interesting project to learn python.
If that would be the case we would only have one brand of cars.

lol that was a nice statement I agree , but there is another point of view why not use your knowledge to improve an existing script ?? handcoding everything from the scratch is not always the only option left to try.
It's called a fork.
Are you telling me I'm driving a fork ?
Same reason why people want to do something their own way. To adapt to their working environment.
No, you're probably driving a Swiss Army Spork by now.
Thought it was a spoon?! Lol
Just purely for personal gain as I'll be using my home raspberry pi as a monitoring station. Ooh the blinkey lights!
