Has anyone got any recommendations for monitoring software for a game server company? Tried others but found they where only real time and not logs etc.

Hoping this software can tell us when the highest peak at the time of the day etc.

Any recommendations will be apprecated :)

Uglygs, you can get it in gentoo's portage, I dont think the project is still active but its a kick *** script, uses perl and rrdtool to generate hourly, weekly, daily and monthly useage stats, scans multiple ips and logs the information for all of them, you can modify it to make it kick more *** (like I once did).. it even shows you your total peak and your total slot ratio.

Thanks but unfortuantly that is a script for linux :( We are only currently using Windows because some of the games we host are linux supported only.

You should run Linux webservers, then you would be able to run uglygs as it supports I belive every game that qstat does, just about every game made.

Windows is good for running game servers that only run on Windows, if the game has a Linux ded run it on Linux, it will be better.

Any other recommendations?

If you are running any Half-Life based mods, I would reccomend: Half Life Server Watch, monitors and controls your game server. HLSW.net is the website.

i'd love to use qstat, i just can't get the CVS to compile

You need several files that are not on cvs, get them from the normal install, I belive it was around 10 or so, copy them to the cvs copy and you should be good to go :)

I may be wrong but thats what I had to do a couple weeks ago to get new hlds protocol stuff.

Update to my above post (from January) you can most likley get both uglygs and qstat to work on Windows.

you wouldn't be willing to email me the compiled qstat would you?

been going crazy over this.

www.gamecp.com/qstat.tar.gz

Compiled on: Fedora Core release 2
Friday, July 01 2005 - CVS Qstat 2.8 (qstat2)

I just took the default install, downloaded the cvs version (directory qstat2) into the same directory then did a cp -R qstat2/* ./ on it, replacing all the files,
./configure ; make clean ; make ; make install

Seems to work :)

just did that, still getting these errors. so frustrating.

re: i copied the CVS stuff into the default install and ran it.

i get these errors on the 'make' step
