Server Status Questions

[jerett]

Greetings Gang!

 

I wanted to ask you all a few questions regarding the Server Status script used with WHMCS.

 

My first question: does anyone know how you would alter the template to show the following:

 

a) only the server that particular client is on that is logged in along with uptime.

 

b) what os is being used (windows, linux) and to do a small pic of tux.

 

My next question: is there away to get uptime working even though my registrars required to be enabled .... are disabled for security reasons?

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks gang!

You will need to do a small sql query to find out which box the user is on. Once you have that information, you can match the server in the foreach clause and print out the details if it matched.

 

For the os used, you can do it hardcoded, or get the OS from the server itseld.

 

Hardcoding it is easiest, if you only have a few servers and are not an active host.

 

Once you have your OS, you can do an if else to show your TUX or Windows image.

 

Otherwise, you will need to write a new status script and include all the details you wish to show, then rewrite the serverstatus.php to query and parse the info your new status script provides.

 

The possibilities of this are limitless, if you know some perl or sh for instance, you could get absolutely anything you want, by running it as a wheel group user or root.

In summary, showing only the server(s) used in the account is easy to do.

Showing the OS hardcoded in your smarty code is also easy.

Showing a little Tux image, is as simple as determining the OS first, then if it matches, show the corresponding image.

 

For the other approaches, you'll need some programing skills.

Actually I don't know how to do any of what you mentioned except the hard coding part. Would you be able to throw up the sql query that might be used when you have time?

 

Thank you.

Looks like I might be floating alone on this one.

you need to look into status2k.com for this to do what you want.

that's a pretty neat script

[DataHosts]

Yes it is nice.

[jerett]

Does it intergrate easily into WHMCS - providing the same look and feel?

[trine]

There are a few users here who have added headers and footers to the output .. I think that is pretty easy.

 

If you use that program, you probably wouldn't use WHMCS' serverstatus.php.

 

For your original question, the easiest solution is not querying for anything and just hardcoding the server type or OS in your conditional statement :

 

{if $server.name == "mywindowsbox"}

 

<img src=win.gif> Windows Enterprise Server 2003

 

{elseif $server.name == "mylinuxbox"}

 

<img src=tux.gif> Linux Red Hat Enterprise 4.4

 

{/if}

The script is nice , but

 

1.if you really want to show server full details with this script you have to install it on every server you have .

2.and if you want to show services status (only 4 service of your choice) + server load and uptime then you have to upload the folder "multiservers" to every server you want to show in the status page.

and then will showup in the main server. otherwise if you do not upload the the "multiservers" folder to the other servers , it willshow the server load and uptime where it is installed .

 

i hope what i said is not too complicated

nope...understand. We actually use it for testing it out, but it can become a hassle
