Copy scripts (.pl, .php) to the scripts directory of cacti.
Make the scripts executable. (chmod a+x)
Import xml templates through Cacti's "Import Template" feature.
Add servers to monitor.

Hi,

Thanks for the instrustions but need abit more help. The files called "cacti_graph_template_players_per_game_server.xml", If you import this file it has references to Half life in it. Do you have to modify this file with lets say Call of duty information and import that to make it work for COD? Or am I missing something here??

All I am trying to do is to get it to work for Call of duty at the moment/

Also has anyone got this to work for games like Raven Shield/Joint Operations or Black Hawk Down?

If I use the players per game server template or the game server template I seem to the get the same error.

But if I run the above command from the linux command line I get a prober results --
/var/www/html/graphs.dodgynet.it/scripts/cod_query.pl 212.42.13.71:28960

player_count:0 max_players:26

Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Can't believe it. It now works. I switched the poller from using cactid to cmd and off it went.

Anyone else using cactid with this and working?

[zlib]

why wont the poller create/update the rra

[mindstormmaster]

You have to run the script as a user that has write permissions to the rra directory.

Is this also available by now for BF2?

Found an error in both cod_query.pl and ut2004_query.pl

This will get rid of the 'permission denied' error for folks running cacti as eg. nobody

In 'ut2004_query.pl' replace next line:

Code: Select all

$response = `qstat -raw __  -ut2s $address 2>1&`;

with:

Code: Select all

$response = `qstat -raw __  -ut2s $address 2>&1`;

There is a similar line in cod_query.pl where by mistyping the ampersand the script wants to write output into a file... switching the '&' and the '1' will fix this error.

Another note: Debian users can install qstat with 'apt-get install qstat'. However, in the debian package the qstat executable was renamed to 'quakestat' (conflict?) so the qstat command in the scripts should be changed into quakestat.

Here's the addon for BF2 (and demo) servers. You must already have installed the templates from the first post in this topic! This is only the BF2 data-source template and script.

- Unzip the xml and import it in cacti
- Unzip the .php and put it in your cacti/scripts/ directory.

(Use the address of the server and the gamespy query port like this:
123.123.123.123:29900
Not 127.0.0.1 or the gameport 16567! )

Make sure the php script is executable by cacti.

[Chepre]

the whole scripts are damn buggy.

could you guys please fix your great but buggy work! would be great! thanks

[mtxd]

Is this available for Quake4 for now? Would be great to have it worked

[SCaRaBaeuS]

Can someone please update this script? so it doesn't install the BF and that sort of "crap" games =]
I only need Halflife (source) + ut2k4 + COD(UO/2)

If someone can build it for me, that would be great!

you can leave me a line through e-mail: paul[at]mystery-land.net

Hi all,
I took this nice idea and created a new implementation which supports more games.

For information, installation instructions, license and a list of supported games, please see the README.txt included in the archive.
