Hardware information tool for rental servers?

[PizzaMan]

Those of us who use rental servers will often want to know more about the physical box where the UT server is running. I wonder if it would be possible to create an actor or something that would give you information like:

OS details
CPU type
CPU usage (average over a period of time)
RAM type
RAM usage
Number of IP interfaces/adresses on the box
Number of UT servers running

And other relevant information.

Could someone here look into this?

I am not sure if this is possible with Uscript.

But on most hosting websites you can find a page with the specs of the used servers. If you can't find that you can try and mail an admin.

And you can only have 1 IP per box You can put more behind a router, but from the outside they all have the same IP.

Yes sure, but maybe I want to see for myself, just to make sure

You can have several IP's per box, lets say 1 IP for each customer. This would allow for several UT servers, each running on the standard port 7777.

the ammount of hardware info you can get from unrealscript is close to nothing

I think UT can do what CPU you have (speed) and how much memory.
That would be all though.

Perhaps if you have us more info people could give better answers

[elmuerte]

no, none of the above (only the computername, not that it's very useful)

[Azazel]

What does the game use on start to log cpu/mem/graphics card?

[AnthraX]

native code that's not accessible from within unrealscript ^^

Yea but thats just it, I was looking for a way to make sure that I got the correct info about the server specs etc. But if it cant be done, then it cant be done...

Well, I know UT can "read" this information. Not sure if the Linux version will or not, but my Windows Client version does:

2399Skillz, Anthrax answered that when I said it could above.

You can access memory via uscript.

CC "memstat" will return

>memstat
Log: Memory available: Phys=198040K Pagef=665600K Virt=2037288K
Log: Memory load = 62%

you can also inject userflag and with a little math determine the servers cpu usage.

Oh, that's what I get for not reading all the posts.

Those two would at least be something.
