[Self-serve] Server Load Button

**Kayla** · February 1st, 2007, 6:34 AM

Do a little something so Surpass can help you better. It might be a good idea to put this in your sig. This way when I am browsing the forum I can see if any servers are in trouble, even if you aren't in the forum.

Put this code into a text file, name it serverload.php and upload to your site anywhere you'd like. Then insert http://domain.com/serverload.php as an image source!

Another explanation from TomK:
[When you edit your signature] click the icon to "insert image" (to the right of insert email) and paste the file name there.

PHP Code:


			
<?php

/* name:        severload.php

   Author:      Jesse Chilcott

   Description: This script creates a horizontal meter that shows the server load

   Useage:      link to the script as if it is an image

*/





/* get and set more image and font details */

$im = imageCreate(80,15);



$width = imagesx($im);

$height = imagesy($im);

$textcolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

$fillcolor1 = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,255,255);

$fillcolor2 = imagecolorallocate($im, 255,85,0);

$bordercolor = imagecolorallocate($im, 0,0,0);

$bordercolor2 = imagecolorallocate($im, 40,40,40);

$textWidth = imagefontwidth($font) * strlen( $str );

$textHeight = imagefontheight($font);



/* get server load */

        if (file_exists("/proc/loadavg") == true)

        {

            $fp = @fopen("/proc/loadavg", "r");

            if (empty($fp) == false)

            {

                $loadavg = explode(" ", fread($fp, 6));

                fclose($fp);

                $loadav = substr($loadavg[0], 0, 4);  // we don't want to many digits or it will overlap the meter

            }

            else

            {

                $loadav   = "error";

            }

        }

        else

        {

            $loadav   = "error";

        }





header("Content-type: image/gif");



$xLoc = 23;

$yLoc = 0;



/* over lap background image from the right with a white rectangle */

imagestring($im, 4, 4, $yLoc-1, "SL", $textcolor2);

imagestring($im,2, $xLoc, $yLoc, $loadav, $textcolor);



/* do meter bar */

if ($loadav != "error") {

    $limit = 20;   //this is the upper limit of the range of server load values... adjust to your server

    $percent = ($loadav * 100) /$limit;

    $meterwidth = ($percent / 100) * 28;

    if ($meterwidth > $limit)

        $meterwidth = $limit;

    imagefilledrectangle ( $im, 48 ,4, 48 + $meterwidth, $height-6, $metercolor );

Okay, will do so

**Kayla** · February 1st, 2007, 6:43 AM

Wow, I feel the open server and forum communication reaching new heights already.

Martina · February 1st, 2007, 6:53 AM

What exactly does it mean?
Which load is very bad?

I am shocked, to see, that against your 0.24 I have loads of 2-over 3.0.

**Bigjohn** · February 1st, 2007, 7:27 AM

On a XEON processor, loads over 5-6 are bad. On a dual core Opteron thing still work up to 7-8 range.

Of course, it's best for your loads to be around 1 or lower.

**Sentinel** · February 1st, 2007, 8:19 AM

I'll give it a try.

**Bigjohn** · February 1st, 2007, 8:20 AM

I'll have to see if I can figure a way to modify the script. Make the color of the bar change...

snide · February 1st, 2007, 8:53 AM

Good idea.

snide · February 1st, 2007, 8:55 AM

This is a good idea. I have to figure out why it doesn't work on my dedicated.
