Microstats (only for admin) - load times, server loads, queries, uncached templates!

[Erwin]

Version 1.0 - works for most servers
Updated 1.1 - optimized code
Updated 1.2 - added names of uncached templates!

Okay, the original was by TECK. This is NOT based on his code - it is based on vB3's native code. If TECK wants me to remove this, I will do so. This is just my version that I use for my private forums.

Information shown:
1) Page loading times
2) Number of Queries
3) Server Loads
4) Number of Any Uncached Templates
5) Name of Uncached Templates (NEW!)

By default only an Admin (usergroup 6) can see it. Feel free to modify this bit.

It's very easy to install.

Open includes/functions.php:

Find:

UNDERNEATH, ADD:

Version 1.2 - more optimized but requires /proc on your server - try this, if server loads don't show up use Version 1.02 below



Code:

Version 1.02 - Use this if Version 1.1 doesn't work for you.



Code:

Done! As simple as that. No need to enable debug mode.

If you want only yourself to have this information, change:
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==6) {
to
if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==1) {

And replace 1 with your userid.

To let everyone see it, remove that line, and the last } of the code above.

Below is a screenshot of how my forumhome microstats look. :)

EDIT: Thanks to kmike, I optimized the code. This should lessen the load when checking the server loads slightly.

Version 1.2 and 1.02 now has added code to show NAMES OF UNCACHED TEMPLATES! :)

If you are getting 2.55 is that bad for server load? I am on a shared server is that ok as it is shared or is that still bad?

EDIT: Actually server load seems to stay around the 2.0 range.

EDIT: Actually server load seems to stay around the 2.0 range.
How many simultaneous users do you have when you get those load times? They are fairly bad, but not THAT bad.

[Serge]

There were 9 but I was the only registered user on the rest where bots I'm guessing although I didn't check.

[Alien]

Nice job. :) Thanks!

[Mijae]

Are 26 queries for forumhome too bad?

[Erwin]

Are 26 queries for forumhome too bad?
Yes. Considering that on my heavily hacked forumhome I only use 8. :)

[Mr. HillBilly]

Yes. Considering that on my heavily hacked forumhome I only use 8. :)

Yeah yeah know it all... some of us dont have all the php skills to reduce queries

[Erwin]

Yeah yeah know it all... some of us dont have all the php skills to reduce queries
It's not about skills in reducing queries - it's about modifying the very optimized vB3 code as little as possible. :) Don't install hacks that are not really necessary.

[Mijae]

How many queries does a normal non-modded forumhome page have?

I am going to upgrade to RC2 and then install the hacks again...

[Serge]

The normal install at least for me has 8. Today I was look though and I have 8 people on my forums me and 8 guest 7 of which are bots and my server load shows up at 5.01 I am running on a shared server but still 5.01 still sounds a little high does it to you all? Should I report this to my host?

How exactly would I adjust this so ANYONE can view it, not just admins?

Place that in the same EXACT place as you would have for the orginal hack all this did was took out the check for the admin part.

[Serge]

Actually if you know what I'm talking about just take the frist if line out and then delete the } at the very end before the comment. That will do it I will work on that post although I have no clue why that happened might be a bug.

EDIT: I fixed the post above when I copied Erwin's code it came though with the color on it as well in the WYSISWG and it left it on there as well and then when I changed everything to black it didn't work but in the end I got it fixed.

[Alex]

Could you add gzip stats to it? please!

[TECK]

If you show the server load for everyone, you will kill your server.
Is for a reason I released originally this hack part for admins only...

Hope, this helps.

PS. Yes Erwin, you have my permission to publish any modifications for MicroStats and port it to VB3 software.
Thank you for asking.

[Dark_Wizard]

Nice hack Erwin! Great to have while developing my vbWar 3.0. Thanks!

[Alien]

Ahh, so this and even the one for vB2x were server killers, TECK? :)

I honestly never saw a difference in the server hmm.

I guess I can just set it up for admins to view if so...

Serge: Thanks for that help tho, much appreciated.

Thanks Erwin,

Page generated in 0.25738 seconds with 12 queries (3 queries for uncached templates)

You have 3 uncached templates, which is causing that page to have 3 extra unnecessary queries. You need to add these templates to the template cache by editing that PHP file. To know which templates, you need to switch debug to on. My hack tells you how many templates are uncached, but not which ones.

Sorry, I know Im getting outside the confines of this topic thread, but Im was able to drop 2 of them but they are being caused by an eval statement to my phpinclude, so I can drop in a variable $shadow instead of long drawn out code. Is there an easy fix for this that wont generate a query? Mind you.. I have added $shadow to about 70 templates so far. So one less query (and an easy fix for it) would be a good thing.

Instead of adding it to all your templates, if it's in your phpinclude, add it to global.php in the forum directory (at least that's where you do it in vB2, not sure about vB3).

It has syntax highlighting for all the major languages, including PHP, HTML, C, C++, Java and has a bunch off other addons on its site.

How can I change that?

It only shows server loads on linux afaik. If you have a windows server it wont show loads, only queries.

I have this working fine on RC4. If I give you the benefit of the doubt and say you have indeed followed the instructions correctly, I'd say maybe it's the PHP editor you're using or there's a hack conflict. Something like that.

I am using Wordpad actually. My board is completely unhacked. As original as apple pie. thanks :disappointed:

[Boofo]

What is the piece of code on that line that is giving the error?

[Zelda-King]

WordPad can be problematic too, though admittedly I've not noticed any problems on it for vB3 yet. I use Winsyntax. It's free and it does the job.

I haven't seen any problems with Wordpad yet, and I think Wordpad is good for a simple editor. It's better than Notepad because it doesn't add extra line breaks, Notepad adds CR / LF but Wordpad is only CR I believe :)

[DeeperImage]

This is very weird for me, I have no hacks installed whatsoever, I always use wordpad to edit my .php files, and although I am not an expert at hacking php. I have successfully installed many hacks and major additions in the past. So this is mind blowing. But thanks for all the suggestions, really wish I could get this sucka to work, It is one of my fav.

It's better than Notepad because it doesn't add extra line breaks, Notepad adds CR / LF but Wordpad is only CR I believe :)I used to have some trouble with it on vB2 because of how it formatted text. I'm starting to think it was some sort of different version to what I have now (that gives me no trouble) seeing as I'd installed a new OS since vB2 (hence a different WordPad installation). I know this though, the hack works fine for me on RC4 following Erwin's instructions.

[DeeperImage]

Well, I finally got it to work. I think the problem was wordpad, I used notepad, and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much for this. Thanks to everyone for trying to help. It is extremely easy to install. took me less than 1 minute really. Anyhow it is all working now

IMHO a quite usable editor is Programmers Notepad (http://www.pnotepad.org/)
It's Open Source, has syntax highlighting for several languages, can handle regular expressions, etc.

[M@rkus]

well.. on my first board it works with RC2 but on the other board it won`t show up!

[M@rkus]

I ve found the problem.. the code was there but the style is another so the code was on a black backround.

Next question. Where else can i place the CODE in the functions.php to get the Stats on another place in the footer?

If you run a search in this thread on the word 'parse' you'll see this has been brought up. It's probably your text editor or something. But you might want to state what version of vBulletin you're using.

I assume you used dreamweaver to edit the files, use a different editor.

[Sugoi]

yes i use dreamweaver to search the lines , and edit it .. I'l try another eidtor


EDITED : It works , thank you !

Btw how can I put that line somewhere else ? So not the bottom of the page ! But in the table ?

In what table? Anyways that would require quite a bit more hacking (much more than what you currently have to do for right now) so I would suggest just leaving it how it is right now, it's fine in the footer; also if you move it up then I believe your values will be slightly inaccurate because then the microstats will display before the page is completely loaded.

Is it possible to split the page load time into time needed for php and time needed for mysql (similar to the 2.x microstat hack)?

Would you mind sharing it with us? Btw, I had 25 queries the first time I entered your site, then I had those 13 queries you see above. Both seems like a lot to me given that the unhacked forumindex has something like 8 queries.

I think an unhacked version is like 11 queries, isn't it? 13 queries is damned good with all the stats I have on the forumhome. ;) And 25 is when the stats cache gets updated (every 10 minutes).

You guys will have to go to the site to get it. I can't release it here since it basically is just the version Teck released for vB2 re-worked for vB3. ;)

Page generated in 0.13595 seconds with 14 queries [Server Loads: 0.60 » 0.46 : 0.48]

At the time 2 users were OL. Is 14 queries high? If so what would cause that?

Ever since i installed the sidebar hack i get 1 uncached template:
Page generated in 0.37613 seconds with 11 queries (1 queries for uncached templates) [Server Loads: 0.63 » 1.10 : 1.84]

Hence my obvious conclusion is that it's the sidebar template that's uncached (yes indeed, i'm quite the detective ;) ).
Anyway, how can i add this template to the cache?

[lifesourcerec]

Very nice. 8 queries here. But then again, just installed the new version with 1 hack.

Ok, i solved my own problem. Posted the fix in the sidebar thread (for the peepz that use search and stumble on this thread)

Hello,
I am a newbie myself,but you guys are amazing. I applied ALL the hacks with the directions I have been provided and my forum houses a portal (VBadvanced),as well as over 18 different hacks and numerous custom templates.

Page generated in 0.11039 seconds with 9 queries [Server Loads: 0.64 » 0.39 : 0.34]

Now I know I can lower this some as I have made no attempt at lower the queries. lol Any suggestions for lowering queries?

I have 2 uncached templates. I don't know how to cache a template. That is something I haven't done yet. I could use some guidance with this.

yah i would like to learn too!

Just bumping as there are now 2 of us trying to figure this out. How do we cache a page?
To cache a template, you need to find out which ones are not being cached. Then you add it to the top of the PHP file being run, in the section where it lists templates to be cached.

I may add a feature to this hack so that uncached templates show up with names.

Do you have access to server's shell? If so, what's output of "ls -l /proc/loadavg" and
"ls -ld /proc" ?
Anyway, you might want to revert to previous version of the hack for the time being...

that will be great!

by the way what kind of problem does uncached templates gives? increase server load?

Each vb3 page is getting all "cached" templates in a batch, in one SQL query. Every uncached template needs separate query to run, thus increasing load on SQL server.

To find out what templates are uncached, one have to run the script in debug mode. Of course tt could be done simply by putting $debug=1; at the beginning of the script, but you don't want to scare your users, do you? :) So you can install one of the following hacks to restrict debug mode to certain users/groups/IPs:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=59605
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=61242

After installation, you'll have a table of template usage at the bottom of debugged page, with uncached templates highlighted.
To cache template simply edit debugged script and add template name to globaltemplates array which is usually defined at the very top of the script.

i got a open_basedir restriction error.

i cannot test cat /proc/loadavg via the command line cos i am not at home. anymore command line commands to test? i do one shot upon reaching home.

[kmike]

Ok, we're getting somewhere.
If you want to use latest version of the hack, you'll have to add "/proc" to the list of open_basedir restricted directories. It's done through editing your httpd.conf, or php.ini, or through .htaccess (not sure about last one though). Or, if you want to save the hassle, just roll back to previous version of hack.

I've got my footer setup with an inside table with a dark border surrounding the content table. Is there a way that I could move the microstats up so it under the vb copyright line?

Nevermind, I figured it out...

I made it a link in my footer that goes to javascript:void(0); and the mouse over lists the page stats...

I added the old version to the first post. :) You can now choose between Version 1.0 and Version 1.1.

MUCH appreciated! That did the trick. Version 1.1 didn't show my server loads but version 1.0 does. :up:

Thanks, Erwin.

Worked like a charm!

[ShiningArcanine]

Erwin, why not just replace $vartext with $output and then place the hack in phpinclude_end? It eliminates the need to hack functions.php and is executed right below where you recommend placing the hack.

[Erwin]

Erwin, why not just replace $vartext with $output and then place the hack in phpinclude_end? It eliminates the need to hack functions.php and is executed right below where you recommend placing the hack.
Because putting it in phpinclude_end may not give you an accurate count of queries perhaps? And it may not work? I haven't thought about it, and haven't tried it - maybe you can try and compare the 2 and see if there is a difference.

[ShiningArcanine]

I tried it; there is no difference in query count and it works like a charm.

[Erwin]

There you go. :) Never thought it would work as well - the vB3 debug stats are all in functions.php, hence the reason why this hack went to the same spot too.

[SaN-DeeP]

hi erwin thnx for the nice hack :)

Version 1.1 works fine for me
Page generated in 0.21845 seconds with 10 queries [Server Loads: 0.24 0.23 : 0.18]

just a small question: as you specified in ur instructions.

Information shown:
1) Page loading times
2) Number of Queries
3) Server Loads
4) Any Uncached Templates

were are these uncached templates seen ?

Regards,

[Jolten]

If their are uncached templates the number of them will be shown at the end of the line.. e.g. "2 queries for uncached templates"

[Erwin]

UPDATE:
-----------

Version 1.2 (servers with proc - more efficient) or Version 1.02 (servers without proc - still works)

-> now the names of all uncached templates show up - helpful to find and cached any uncached templates to save queries. :)

[PET]

On my forum i have 1.2. Now i hear of a 1.02. WTF ? What do i need to modify to have the new version, also, what new things this new version has ?

[the Sandman]

All of a sudden, I'm getting erroneous, very large load times listed:
Page generated in 18,859 seconds with 11 queries [Server Loads: 0.69 1.66 : 2.03]

[Ocean]

All of a sudden, I'm getting erronious, very large load times listed:



I'm seeing those as well, but so far, I have only seen them on the Login Redirect screen.

[Erwin]

All of a sudden, I'm getting erroneous, very large load times listed:
Odd - which version are you using? The proc one (1.2) or the older non-proc one (1.02)? I'm using version 1.2 since my server has proc, and it's working normally.

[the Sandman]

I'm also using version 1.2. As far as I know, it was working normally, and then I suddenly noticed these crazy values. I did go ahead and re-upload the file to my server, but that made no difference. :ermm:

Kathy did just have Apache recompiled on the server - could it be related to that?

No, because my Apache was recently recompiled too.

[the Sandman]

I swapped in version 1.02 in place of 1.2, but the high page generation values remained. I swapped 1.2 back in. I guess it's a problem in the server...

[Ocean]

That doesn't explain why I get it on the Login Redirect pages. And they've been that way from the start.

Does anyone else have that?

[the Sandman]

Something else weird I noticed. I copied these server load averages from the AdminCP:Server Load Averages 283 244 203 | 41 Users Online (12 members and 29 guests) At the same time the Microstats read:Page generated in 20,799 seconds with 11 queries [Server Loads: 3.35 : 2.51 : 2.04]There's quite a discrepancy in the server loads averages reported and it appears (I hope) that the correct values are from Microstats and the AdminCP values are way off, most likely by a factor of 100...

[AN-net]

anyone else notice the seconds are being reported like that>_> it is susposed to be a demical and most of us hope it is a decimal.

[the Sandman]

I still think it's a server issue. I uninstalled Erwin's Microstats and installed Teck's Microstats. I'm still getting the ridiculously high page generation times from Microstats and the screwy server load averages in the AdminCP...

[HakkieDEV]

It has to be at the bottom because it has to read everything that gets parsed out first to get the correct time and number of queries. You could use a float tag to float it elsewhere I suppose.

[AnhTuanCool]

Oh, I see. ;)

Could you detail how to use a float tag to me? Thx ^__^

[Littlebit]

Yes. thank you Erwin for this, I'm installing :classic:

[Ted S]

For some reason on one of my styles the data line appears twice (identical valeus), other styles load about as quick with the same query count but only show the results once, is this anything to worry about?

[lifesourcerec]

It has to be at the bottom because it has to read everything that gets parsed out first to get the correct time and number of queries. You could use a float tag to float it elsewhere I suppose.

Mine list at the top and bottom. How can I get rid of that?

[Erwin]

The data line is based on the </body> tag which should be the last tag before </html> - so if your templates have multiple </body> tags (which is bad coding) then you will get more than 1 occurrence of the info.

[BamaTech]

nice was looking for this

thanks for the effort and the share

[dwh]

I'm fooling around with some hacks on a test server that have lots of queries. Thanks Erwin for helping me determine just how many with this hack (not to mention uncached templates).

I've put them into a HEAP table so that they lessen the load. Do you think a query to a HEAP table is even worth counting? Can it get me in trouble with high load on a production board?

[Torqued]

I installed 1.2 and it gave me the names of the uncached templates, but not server load..

So I installed 1.02 and it gives me server load and the # of uncached templates, but not the names..

should 1.02 be showing me the names as well?

I am on v3.03

Ok. I fixed it... don't know why it works, but it does! LOL

I took the code @ the bottom of 1.2 for evaluating/displaying uncached templates and put that code in the same spot in 1.02 and it works! :)

Now how is it that I fix uncached templates? I'm running vBAdvanced CMPS 1.0.0 and vBLinks 1.0.0. The two uncached templates are related to the links directory.

[KW802]

You need to add those templates at the beginning of the php page that you saw the message on. It will speed up the page and reduce the number of queries to the database which will be good for all of your vb installation.

Except for "board_inactive_warning" template - that's when your board is turned off, and there's no need to globally cache it. :)

I've got several pages powered by vb that aren't standard vb pages. I've called global.php and the header and footer display properly but the ministats don't show on the non-vb pages. Any clue what I need to include to get them to work out side the forums?

Then I don't know why it doesn't show up for you to be honest. Do server loads show up in your Admin CP?
I upgraded our forums to 3.0.7 from 3.0.3 and version 1.02 displays server loads properly now.. although there is a small problem.

The uncached template name, does not displays in version 1.02

I can get something like this on forums/index.php

I would like it to call the function that looks up info such as:

8 Users Online (1 members and 7 guests)

which normally is located after the server load average info.

Thanks!

That is already on forum home. Located within the logged in users.

But I'm sure someone knows how to add it.

Ouch

And you can tell what is uncached by looking at your post.

The other 21 are those two plus what ever else you have loaded on the vBadvanced portal.

The only way to cut portal queries is to get rid of some of the content.

it's best to ask this question in the vBadvanced thread.

Uncached templates: adv_portal_latesttopics (1)Check your changes to your global.php file. ;)

Besides that he wants to cut back the amount of queries on that page.

Now If I read that right, if he caches those two he'll save 6?
