Monitor the status of a Minecraft server by saving it every minute in a MySQL table named stats_io_servers. In a Bungee environment, each server can be identified with a different name to get a quick view of the status of your network. The data can then be displayed in a frontend of your choice (not included).
The data stored is similar to that of a server query, which includes the following:
- Number of players online
- Max amount of players allowed
- List of online players
- List of plugins installed
To this are added:
- Current TPS (Ticks Per Second)
- Time of last server start
- Time of the last check
This is designed to let server admins see the status of their network at a glance. If the last check time isn't updating anymore, it can be a useful clue to warn someone that either a server is offline, or it crashed!
Saving this information to a database lets you use multiple clients to check on the results without bogging down the servers themselves with constant queries.
- Download the plugin and place it in your plugins/ directory.
- Start and stop the server to generate the configuration file.
- Edit config.yml with your MySQL database information and a unique server ID (string).
- Start your server. After a minute, the MySQL table will start getting results.
