Server Status Info?

[random1]

I'm looking for a way of adding some PHP code to my site that shows the status of ther server. i.e. Server is offline (with image) and other common important server info.

 

How can this be done?

You can use sockets to attempt a connection to the 'server'. Display the 'offline' 'online' image accordingly.

Thanks I create the following function.

 

function pingDomain($domain = "10.1.1.1", $port = "80"){

 

try

{

$starttime = microtime(true);

$file = fsockopen ($domain, $port, $errno, $errstr, 10);

$stoptime = microtime(true);

$status = 0;

}

catch(Exception $e)

{

// Exception occured pinging domain

}

 

if (!$file) $status = -1;  // Site is down

else {

fclose($file);

$status = ($stoptime - $starttime) * 1000;

$status = floor($status);

$this->setServerStatus($status);

}

// Else site is up

$this->setServerStatus($status);

return $status; // ping in ms

}

No problem, glad I could help

Are there any other stats we can get for the server? Like:

 

• Uptime
  
• Downtime
  
• Stability Rating

Once to go would be to run a cronjob on the script checks the server status. From here you can insert data into a database and calculate the server uptime/downtime and stability.
