ServerUptime WHMCS Module

[laszlof]

Description

This module will add a page (http://yourdomain.com/whmcs/serveruptime.php) to your WHMCS installation and will display the HTTP uptime of all your servers that have a status page enabled/configured.

 

Installation

1) Copy all files into your whmcs installation directory

2) Navigate to Utilities -> Addon Modules -> Serveruptime

3) Click the Install button.

4) Set the server groups you would like to monitor and cURL timeout as you would like.

5) Add the cronjob listed into your users crontab

6) Access http://yourdomain.com/whmcs/serveruptime.php to view its output

 

Additional Information

- The addon uses a template for its display output. There is a default one installed for both the 'default' template and the 'portal' template. You are free to edit either of these to match your site layout.

- The cURL timeout setting is how long the script will wait for a response from your server before giving up (marking it down). Too low, and you will receive a lot of false positives. Too high, and the script may not finish before the next cron is set to run.

- The script does an HTTP HEAD request to the status URL listed for each server in the group(s) you have configured. If this URL does not exist, the server will not be monitored at all. If the URL is in place, but the resulting request gives a 404 not found, it will be marked as down.

- Be mindful of the database size when using this module. It has the potential to make your database very large if you have a lot of servers and/or your cron job is set to run very often.

Hi - sorry this may be a dumb question heh..

 

but - there doesn't need to be anything installed on the servers that are being monitored then? and no prerequisites on those servers? Or - do you need to already be using the WHMCS server uptime script on the servers?

[laszlof]

The module simply checks to make sure httpd is running by connecting to the server status URL. That being said, you will either need to be using the included server status script that is provided with WHMCS, or you need the server status URL within the server configuration to point to some other valid URL on the server.

 

If the script times out, or receives anything other than a 200 OK message when doing a HEAD request, it will mark the server as down for that interval.

would it be possible to limit the display to clients so they only see the info for the server they are on? and how would this go with vps and dedicated clients? obviously some have unusual setups etc so would there be a way to turn it off for some clients who we cant get the data for or alternatively who dont want it monitored?

[laszlof]

You could probably limit the display to just the server they're on by modifying the template. It shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Frank!

Your images are far too small!

513px wide by 280px high, and 380px wide by 280px high.

 

I would recommend making them much larger so that potential customers can see what your product does! "A picture tells a hundred words!" In fact, all of your product screenshots should be replaced - they're all far too small and provide no detail on your hard work!

 

Could you please attach some images which are at least 1000px wide and 800px high??

Thank you very much!

Brian.
