Server Status

[Joshua2597]

Hello, I have a question about the server status page & up time.

I want my clients to see my up time of my sever and linking the sever-group 2 to the server status page did not do that.

 

Do I need to use a site like up time robot or something like that. I want to track uptime via and IPs and not domain names is that possible?

 

Thanks

Hello,

 

Do I need to use a site like up time robot or something like that. I want to track uptime via and IPs and not domain names is that possible?

 

Yes I've seen a few people doing this and believe they are using a service for this such as Pingdom.

you shouldn't necessarily need any third-party addons to show uptime - our servers are correctly showing the uptime just using the default server status page.

 

two things to bear in mind - firstly, I think the option only works for linux servers - so if you're running windows, I doubt it will work.

 

secondly, from the documentation...

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Common_Troubleshooting_Tips#Server_load.2C_uptime_and_phpinfo_always_say_Unavailable_or_00:00:00

 

Server load, uptime and phpinfo always say Unavailable or 00:00:00

 

In order for these values to be obtained, the file /status/index.php that you upload to every server has to be able to execute the PHP functions exec and shell_exec on that server. These are often disabled by default for security reasons. To enable them, you need to login to your server by SSH and then locate the php.ini file and open it for editing. Search down for the line that says disabled_functions and then remove exec and shell_exec from the list of functions following that.

 

For security, by default the phpinfo is disabled, you would need to edit the index.php file of the status directory and uncomment the phpinfo(); line.
